What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Find which one of the amazing movies in the best in the 80's and 90's, is much different that trying to find a cyberpunk movie good enough in the 00's and later. the 80's and 90's were both pretty stacked, and the decades afterwards just kinda exist.
In the '00's, we had what, Redline? Minority report? Some sequels of movies from the 80's and 90's?
In the 10's we had, Hotel Artemis? Anon?
Totally agree. When looking at the 80s and 90s it's just trying to narrow down from the list of amazing cyberpunk movies that came out at the time. But by the 00s and 10s it's more of "this movie was cyberpunk, but was it good?" and "this movie was good, but was it cyberpunk?"
