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.

Bladerunner but only for the visuals
Yeah, but Bladerunner isn't a bad cyberpunk movie, in fact it's pretty much the gold standard.
That's like saying whats everyone's favorites "low key hike" and you say "Mt Everest"
I actually dislike Bladerunner as well. Great atmosphere and music, but didn't like the plot or characters.
Bladerunner 2049 was really good tho.
have the same vibes with the sequel. I don't know, those movies are simply not working for me, but I also never found the shortstory to be that good 🤷♂️
quiet subjective isn't it? I don't like Bladerunner at all and I mean every version of that movie...
I'm fine if you like it, but for me it's one of the worst movies except visuals and music
I mean the Sherpas that lead Everest tours probably don't think much of it, but for the majority of people, climbing Everest is a big deal.
Same for Bladerunner. The concensus is: Triumph
I postulate that you knew this would be controversial and that's why you posted it.
nope, just sharing my opinion.
And music.
fair enough
