Why are there cyberpunk people that aren’t anti-capitalism? Did y’all like space on the whole underlying theme of cyberpunk?
I think most modern cyberpunk people like it *because* of the rampant industrialization and limitations of personal freedoms that lead to neat shiny technology and don’t focus on the actual implications anymore
it’s the same kind of material fetishism you see from nerds who like gundam and warhammer 40k and shit. they just miss the point completely being made because the technology looks cool/blows shit up.
Where’s that comic?
Maybe people can like a certain aesthetic independent of any sort of these social structures. Cyberpunk can exist capitalistically, communistically, or within whatever sort of economic system you can come up with. It is literally all made up. Distopian and Utopian settings can absolutely be orthogonal to the cyberpunk aesthetic; it would be a fallacy to bind the cyberpunk aesthetic to a particular economic or social structure. Of course there are correlations, but that doesn’t mean that there are really any deep causal relationships here. The same goes with other literary genres. Sometimes things don’t have to exist holistically.
Note to boomers: no one speaks like this.

Honest Posters of Our Relationship with Technology
Designer Ajit Johnson, living in England, has imagined a series of posters called “#This_Generation”. With honesty, the posters show anecdotes linked to our daily relationship with technology and social networks.
“Can’t work a computer to it’s full potential or send an email, proceeds to ask someone a 1/3 to ½ their age for help.” #LastGeneration
“Can’t accept the fact that meaningful relationships can be made online, struggles to respect and accept said relationships.” #LastGeneration
“Has drained and abused the Earth for it’s resources, and believes that a young person would choose internet over survival. Expects us to survive and solve the problems they have created.“ #LastGeneration
“Does not understand that phones are meant for communication, also does not understand that the average semester lasts 4 months.” #LastGeneration
“Refuses to give proper sex education, shames the younger generation for not knowing.” #Last Generation
“Does not understand how social media works and that not deleting/avoiding your recent ex online is just as bad as seeing them every day.” #LastGeneration
“Also texts and drives, pretends that they are not responsible for any accidents caused by their idiot mistakes.” #LastGeneration
“Shames teenagers for taking photos of themselves that make them feel positive about their physical image, probably can’t work the camera themselves.]” #LastGeneation
“Believes that a person’s way of texting with people they are comfortable with is a sign of their intelligence level, texts just as bad, if not worse.” #LastGeneration
“Believes our generation are internet druggies, does not even acknowledge our reasons for being online, or what we do online.” #LastGeneration
“Has caused wars, economic failures, environmental disasters, perpetuated hate based on gender/race/sexuality/religion [or lack of]/and more, pretends that the younger generation is the problem.” #LastGeneration
Whoop there it is
cyberpunk construction worker: hey maybe for this building let’s not put a bunch of hexagons on it?
cyberpunk architect: shut the fuck up
He struggled to see as the endless sea of text scrolled through his augmented eyes, burning his neural implants. Slowly, through the pain exploding in his head, he made out the damned letters the chains of text were made of ‘TFW_NO_GF TFW_NO_GF TFW_NO_GF’ they taunted in infinite strands of early 2000s humor.
Teearrsss hahaha.
God bless the rap music meets cyberpunk wave
