Blink 182 is a punk/rock band from Norway. They developed the style that would be called "pop punk" and were extremely influential for other bands that came after them. Although I wouldn't fully call either them or punk fully technology based, they do use technology in some of their songs. Sound boards are used to loop certain instruments to create effects that are similar to regular instruments, but can't fully be reproduced.
Off the Hook is a virtual pop duo of squid girls created for the Nintendo Switch title Splatoon 2. Although most of their songs were created just for the game itself, the popularity of the game gave rise to some concerts for their performances. Their function is similar to that of Vocaloid, as they're projected idols that play in front of a crowd that usually takes place in Asian venues. Although their music is not spoken in any understandable language (due to them being fictional squid creatures) the concerts they have performed have been packed and people seem to enjoy them.
Pegboard Nerds is a mostly youtube oriented dubstep group that produces videos for an online audience. They do tours occasionally as well, but they're a notably smaller group. I learned of their songs mostly from a music based game called Just Shapes and Beats, which featured level design specifically around dubstep music and avoiding its sound waves. Most of their music has a retro video game feel to it, occasionally paying homage to older titles by featuring old sound clips as part of their set.
Deadmau5 is a very popular techno/dubstep artist who's risen to notable fame. Despite never showing his face, he does do tours in which he djs his own songs. There's no question that his work stems from technology, since he creates all his techno dance beats using computerized noises and programs. I personally don't find his work very enjoyable, but his audience is huge, so there must be some reason he's so well enjoyed.
Marshmallo is a relatively new electronic artist who does his own DJ work. He's recently been the background musician in a few pop songs, as well as released his own music. Usually his own songs tend not to have any type of vocalization or lyrics, unless he's backing someone else. Like Deadmau5, he hides his face with a strange looking object when he performs out in public, as well as holds concerts for his dancing based tracks. He's a relatively new name in his field, and has dabbled with some pop fame as well, but his DJ skill makes it clear that he plans to stay on the scene for quite some time.
