Checked the archive and it seems this thread hasn't popped up in a bit. Let's talk a bit of cyberpunk tonight, /g/.

I'm building the links list off of what I've encountered so far, if somebody wants to confirm services from old OP posts are still active or wants to add new links please post them and I'll try to include them in the next OP.
Looking at the way things are headed with the FCC and the new corporate carte blanche, there's a lot of things to talk about. Censorship, centralization, and collusion have all come into play over the past couple of months. Stay wary.

The "good parts" of a cyberpunk world were and will always be reserved for the hyper wealthy. We're just at the periphery of things watching how that growth in wealth disparity plays out and shapes the culture.
Future funk aesthetic is closer to the glitz and glamour of the neon-lit lifestyle that cyberpunk seems to imply about the lifestyles of those who "make it".

It's all just different interpretations of what the 80's wrought on our society and the implications that had on the future.
Cyberpunk culture represents a distrust and resistance to that future, an observation of a dystopian mixture of 1984, Brave New World, and Idiocracy playing out on a global scale.
Vaporwave and by extension future funk culture is an expression of cynicism about that same reality. but embraces and celebrates the superficial "paradise" it created anyways, elevating brand loyalty and the advertising advent as a sort've new religion. It's part parody and part acceptance.

Nah, it's a popular genre on all the private trackers and file shares. This is just the first time we've ever really mentioned it on surface net, and that's only because things are starting to get stale.
You'll hear more about it when the first VR EP releases come out.
