can we stop the whole 80s aesthetic meme already
| but cyborgs and neon lights and asian cities are absolutely essential to cyberpunk

led lights are the new neon lights
cyborgs aren't from the 80s and asian cities still exist what's your point
| and cyborgs in cyberpunk have been around since electric sheep wym
| first of all two seperate things but if you mean 80s aesthetic in cyberpunk it could be a lot of things: desire to connect with the old times or tackiness or nothing and fuck you i love the 80s yo mom gay
| What is the things that distinguish cyberpunk from other futuristic genres?
| >>327445 Cyberpunk focuses heavily on human identity and the loss of it. A lot of cyberpunk will have a theme in which poorly-handled/over-produced technology results in total dehumanization instead of progress.
It's like the direct antithesis to the atomic utopia sci-fi which was popular before cyberpunk
| It's not a meme, it's just a great aesthetic. I understand your being tired of it, but a lot of people love it.
VA-11 Hall-A, however, did a great job creating the Cyberpunk feeling without resorting to the 80's feel. It was great.
| No
| you are simply wrong. Lain showed us the way.
| Outrun is love.
Outrun is life.
| didn't lain come out in the late 90s

I learned to program on an Intel 8085. So technically the 80s were my tickets into real-live cyberpunk. It was avant-garde and still is 1334. Since then technically nothing new happened except hardware evolved, while software degenerated. Everything become more mainstream and boring. (Except this stupid 3rd wave of AI-cultism) So I prefer remaining in the 80s, put my hands direct on machine code, while kindergarten kids are trapped in their JavaScript playground.

How would you call it, if people need 8core 3GHz processor and 16GB RAM to exchange text messages?

| cyberpunk is about future not past and let's be honest, that whole 80s thing is awfull and has been overdone to death
