I used to like it... but I don't much care for a lot of stuff grouped with it. However, big fan of the game Shadowrun, video and RPG. Other than that...

A group? A brilliant idea.

Yes, I enjoy cyberpunk in movies, or books. Though I am not a fan of the fashion or the music. Why is it assumed that the music of the future is going to be techno and/or industrial? Or gwarish kind of stuff.

I'm quite a cyberpunk fan, but it mainly came from playing the shdowrun pen & paper RPG when I was a bit younger... ahh memories smile

Say. that is a good idea!

And as for the music,
what else are you going to be listening to on your old school minidisk player (which you built yourself with used parts) as you skate down the level two entry ramp of the mechasphere building which holds the last remaining node of the evil Dyanico Corporation, which, once hacked into and destroyed, will lead to the biggest acid street party/orgy your city district has ever had?

I love Cyber Punk love

What happened to the early 90s Cyber-Punk InterNet of the fictional future? Back when going on the InterNet meant putting on giant goggles and flying through a quasi-realistic cyber-realm with diodes as big as skyscrapers on city-sized circuit boards? Where is the future where InterNet users all wear mascara, leather, and extraneous buckles and use ice-cold cyber lingo, and the evil 40-something corporate executives wear ponytails and poon limousines on skateboards?

Way to go, InterNet culture. Way to let everybody down.

i may be a bit out of the loop here, but CyberPunk style sounds alot like the industial Rivetheads, no?
prockgirlscout:
I remember when I worked at a bookstore about 10 years ago and we got a cyberpunk "manual" in. It was pretty cool. When we scanned the UPC, it rang up as $999.99 instead of $9.99.

Funny.

It's similar. It involves more goggles.

i dont think there is real cyberpunk anymore. More like things influenced by it, certain the matrix is one. and there are tons of comics. Right nowi am reading NYC Mech and its very cp influenced

its interesting u onyl mentioned two authors. One which doesnt understand the label, gibson, and one that was dead before it was even applied to him, PK Dick

Rudy Rucker, John Shirley and Bruce Sterling. are the main proponents and shirley is a dick
