Cyberpunk: The New Fad?

>Cyberpunk: The New Fad?
Jesus I hope so.

What with the all the government conspiracy involving mass surveillance, emergence of extreme political schisms, saturation of media biases, social upheaval, meme warefare, hackers becoming a thing again, we could definitely be in for a new wave of relatable cyberpunk. Original cyberpunk came from a specific time and place and doesn't work like it did back in the day, but now we have fresh material.

Keep in mind whenever something becomes popular it also becomes watered down and departs from the original themes that made it unique.

Ghost in the Shell looks to just be a typical revenge action movie with cyberpunk window dressing. Becoming a cyborg can be the new vampirification.

Is this 30 years too late for the era and about 10 years too late for the 80s nostalgia?

Can we please just get to the late 90s nostalgia full time? I need Toonami-style movies done with Linkin Park music.

Best Cyberpunk ever

>Blade Runner sequel
>Ryan Gossling

WHY, who made this shitty decision?

Also I will say here that I rather hope that it doesn't become a fad because life tends to imitate fiction. And most of cyberpunk deals with worlds that suck. I don't want to see a generation of young people indoctrinated into the idea that the future is bleak.

Oh god.... I'm cringing remembering all those shitty AMVs I used to download on limewire in 1999.

God yes, please. And let's have a little grunge era beforehand as well to wash the taste of the last 15 years of crass commercialism and overly-stylized media out of our mouths.

>crass commercialism and overly-stylized media
I thought the Neo-80's fad was all about bringing back shameless consumerism

I'm sick and tired of half of the commercials on TV having ukeleles and folk music in the background, like you just bought your McDonalds at the fucking farmer's market or something.

>drinking coke is how I express myself
>how do you express YOUR myCoke?

It's disingenuous as fuck.

Bring back the old brutally honest advertising from the 80s that has nothing but a gigantic brand name and maybe a picture of the product.

>BUY COKE NOW FAGGOT

At least they're not bullshitting you.

The 80s fad is about about a half-forgotten rose-tinted glasses version of the 80s, not the actual 80s

this. the 80s fad is about an 80s that never existed, but in the mind of millennials. thats why its so fake and cringy and politically correct.

80s minus the cocaine, if you will.

>>80396754
same with the 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s, 20s, and every other period in history

>>80395870
Same. Cyberpunk is probably my favourite fictional setting.

Holy shit I agree with you.
I say the same thing to people.
Having these massive billion dollar companies act personal is so fucking annoying.
