The only person I can think of who's written songs about modern techno-culture that are any good, is Momus (http://www.demon.co.uk/momus/). I think he's geeky enough to escape allegations of trying to be cool. I particularly like "Virtual Valerie" on "The Philosophy of Momus":
I tried to keep my soul alive
Playing Mortal Kombat on the Megadrive
I patched my lust with Nicorette
Went surfing on the Internet
But still I need you here tonight
Let's make love by satellite
By high speed uplink, error free
Be my Virtual Valerie

Also check out "Girlish Boy" on the same CD.
