what culture do you think would still exist in a cyberpunk future?
| All, we are already living in a cyberpunk world of sorts
| Zen buddhism
| East Asian cultures.
| Japanese, American and Russian
| Poland stronk
| Most mainstream religions.
| >>135980 and pastafarians, no government would have any concern about a religion as harmless as pastafarianism
| Mainstream Western culture (American + European), Mainstream East Asian culture (Japanese + Chinese)
| Should have been asking what culture do you think would disappear

Religion will always continue to exist. But it prevails in poor and ignorant populations. The rest only mention it vocally but their lifestyle is little influenced by it. Italians are prime examples. Many will tell you they are religious and keep crosses around their necks, but their everyday lives have nothing what you read in the bible in them. But they will mention religion in anything they need a justification for.
| India superpower by 3030.
| A fully automated luxury gay space communism
| Descentralized techs like blockchain stuff would be everywhere. Even in food.
| It cyberpunk movies they always depicted the future as a blend of American and Japanese cultures for some reason
| Arabian culture is still very strong in the respective countries nowadays so maybe....
| Russian, Jap and most importantly Chinese.
| Muslims
| There will be only rebellion, Zuckerbergism and Googleism as the later two will be the dictatorial factions controlling the world

Yes, actually. There are poor people in Japan, too, but the economic class disparity is wider in America by far.
| I'm sure that some African cultures may play a bigger role in future.
| Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesian, Thai, Indian, Persian, Saudi, Nigerian, South African, German, Nordic, Polish, Russian, British, French, Italian, Latin American, US American, & Canadian will be the "relevant" cultures with East Asian playing the biggest part, especially Chinese-Japanese-Korean and to a smaller extent, Vietnamese which is growing pretty fast rn
| I feel like all would, but technology will greatly be more and more integrated into it. Plus you'll always have people who can't afford to join the movement and those who will want to stay true to their roots. (°^°)
| Realistically, SAmerica, EEuro and SEAsia's are weakest, but will be lightly mentioned in cyberpunk. Arabian and Indian cultures are the ones growing the fastest, and are either focused on or non-existant in dystopian fiction. And while WEuro or NAmerica will be where many of these stories are set, there will ALWAYS be some EAsian culture integrated into it. African culture is also non-existant except in utopian fiction like Overwatch.
| So basically, the first three mentioned will stay where they are, barely making a mark. Depending on where we're heading, the same can be said of the Middle East and te Sub-Continent of India, though it seems to be heading in the opposite direction. American and European society will become increasing blurred as they accept multiculturalism and globalism, whereas the three Eastern power's will slowly consume them
| And Africa will continue to be forgotten, both in fiction and reality. People make cyberpunk fiction to complain about their lives. Bringing up Africa would get them guilt-tripping themselves unless if they also give Africans the high tech society haracteristic, which we all know will never happen. Oh, and corporatism will become a thing. Kinda like the future we're headed now, eh?

The funny thing is, that western rightwinged groups are still afraid of african people taking over power, wiping out the white man.

You have no idea, haven't you? The truth is that western and eastern society's are heavyly dependent on african ressources. China goes a diffrent way like the west to gain access to em. If united, Africa would be a major global power and important ally or serious opponent. There are a few really improving countries. Eurocentric white power shit may have no future.
