I know that this board has been overrun by 12 year olds from /v/ and /pol/ but im hoping there are some old school guys here who help me.
Ive noticed some common tropes from 90s cyberpunk / hacker media.
Both Serial Experiments Lain and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers use the Apple PlainTalk voice "whisper" for their openings.
Both Soul Hackers and Hackers (1995) has a duo of entertainers who are also highly skilled hackers.
Why are these things so common? Where there any real life examples of them? Why is "whisper" so popular?

Has it ever occured to you that the creators of SEL and soul hackers simply copied western depictions of cyberpunk?

i dont think there is such a thing as eastern and western cyberpunk. Also even if it were why would they copy "western depictions", japan dominated with cyberpunk anime in the 80s and 90s

I don't know of any japanese cyberpunk novels that predate western ones.

What an eye OP, or better said what an ear. Have you heard of dial-up connections https://youtu.be/gsNaR6FRuO0?t=14
The collective memories of people living in the 90s remember.

Well, the white noise sound close to PlainTalk whisper.

You might want to join the action in the >>>/g/cyb/ threads.
The tropes of Cyberpunk were very much set by Neuromancer and Blade Runner. most of what came later were rather inspired by this and the genre was close to become a cliche.
