Polysics are a Japanese {{New Wave|Music}} band originally founded by Hiroyuki Hayashi ("Hiro") in 1997. Hiro was heavily inspired by the American band {{Music/Devo}} as well as Japanese bands such as [[Music/SusumuHirasawa P-Model]] and Music/YellowMagicOrchestra. To borrow a quote from Wiki/ThatOtherWiki: "The band has been noted for their extremely energetic live performances and their wild gimmicky outfits, notably their trademark orange boiler suits, with a simple 'P' stamped on them, and their straight-bar sunglasses."

* CoverVersion: They've done a half-cover of {{Styx}}'s "Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto," in that they took the intro and the Japanese lyrics and made up their own music to go with it. They've also covered "My Sharona," "Wild One," "[[TheRamones Psycho Therapy]]," and a few other songs in live performances (especially by {{Devo}}).

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Hiro has lifted a ''lot'' of guitar and synthesizer licks from {{Devo}}.

* [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: A great many of their music videos elicit this reaction.

* MemeticMutation: The song ''New Wave Jacket'' actually was introduced into some circles thanks to ''Wizard Power'', an {{animutation}} by NeilCicierega
