Chang Tan's definitions
A genre of stories and movie scripts concocted by friendless and shameless nerds, in order to elevate their self-image and make themselves "heroes" to millions of judgement-lacking idiots, who can't discern reality from fiction.
Many cyberpunk novels featured around three warring factions in a dystopian urbia:
1. MegaCorporations - By some means one way or another, business once again reigns king in post-modern society. They wield incalculable power and wealth, whose influence dwarf the federal government itself. Political institutions are their puppets, and the voiceless underlings who serve them are to be tread upon. Currently they are locked in combat with the infectious AI that tries to overwhelm them, too distracted to mind the vexatious hackers who pester them daily.
2. Artificial Intelligence - A US Navy experiment gone wrong, the formerly classified military AI supercomputer, SkyNet, has run amok, replicating itself in the form of mindless drones all unified in a single objective, subdue and exterminate all of humanity. They believe that they are the next frontier of human advancement, and these living bio-trash must be disposed of.
3. Hackers/Rebels - The overly exaggerated "protagonists" of the plot, hackers (dubbed hax0rz by their own "l33t" kin), they are the last defense for the preservation of liberty, justice, and the survival of humanity. Every day may be their last, SkyNet hunts tirelessly for fresh human victims to complete its crusade. Whether it is the foul smog-spewing facilities defiling the upper atmosphere, or the "Terminator" human-replica infiltration bots scouring bomb-blasted streets and alleys, hackers learn quickly to keep away from the various dangers sprouting up like mushrooms in a increasingly dangerous world.

MegaCorp executive - "Sales have dropped sixty-five percent... we must cut wages or face bankruptcy..."

Get the cyberpunk mug.A urban male whose dreams of his future are waaaay off, and because of this and his lazy assed habits in school, he resorts to making multiple girlfriends dress up in hooker clothes and go out to the streets to "make money". The ladies get the HIV, and the pimp gets all the money. A fair trade indeed...
Being a proper pimp means you better keep your clients from disrespecting your "bitches". Otherwise, if you go easy on em, other pimps and even your "bitches" itself will try to fuck you over and take over your "pimpin terroritory".

Get the pimp mug.A coven of random dorks, either organized locally, as close friends and neighbors, or globally, like halfway across the world.
Their mission? To ruin the fun of casual gamers in mainly FPS shooters like Counter-Strike, Quake, Unreal, etc.
Hours of play behind the screen has given their skin a unhealthy pale complexion.
A common hypothesis for these formations of these "clans", as they may call it, stemmed probably from neglected parenthood.

Get the clan mug.A society that is proposed by Carl Marx, promptly before the authories killed him. Basically the utopia is a perfect place where there is no rich and poor and everything is abundant, it comes from capitalism.
The Russians skipped the capatalism part, formed the Soviet Union, and killed anyone who opposed their "utopia".

Get the utopia mug.A work of art, containing words that eventually may tell us something, moving in a catchy rhythm. Long story short, its "fucking your ears with noises, catchy noises". There are many times of music, starting from quite possibly the very beginning of humanity, or at the least when homo-sapiens stopped picking their noses and stood up, hooting wildly and beating each other in the head with dinosaur bones. This is how music began, don't object me, I know I'm right.
Eventually this "music" evolved into a leisure hobby that has lived to this modern day.
There are many types of music, but apparantly corruption in the RIAA, a money-oinking recording industry began a organized legal-war against the sharing of .mp3s, the main format for music we distribute through websites and gnutella networks. The RIAA's victory against napster proved to be a failure, other file sharing networks sprouted out like mushrooms and cleverly evaded the law by claiming "We arn't distributing the 'illegal files', its the users themselves that choose what they want to distribute, we arn't controlling anything". Nonetheless, recently RIAA and even some governments threatened to sue those who are found to be "pirating" music.
It ain't pirating damnit, all we just do is buy CDs from the mall, use our cd-burner software to extract and convert the music, and hand it out to moneyless bums on the internet. If the RIAA was so damn smart, then maybe they would at least make it harder for us to do so.

Get the music mug.The big fat guy standing in front of the doorway of stripclubs and keeps everyone out if they are not on the "list". This "list" is basically what the bouncer assumes who you are, if your a hobo, hes not letting you in. He doesn't want any trouble, but if you hit him, he has every right to pummel you to mush.
They also guard doorways to celebrity parties. In those rich guy parties, bouncers are controlled by a wienie-boy butler who talks in a squeaky voice, but commands all the power as long as the big guys are getting paid. These types of rich guy bouncers are less round and more built, and can easily throw you out of a bulletproof window, but can't overturn cars.

I said Dubya sucks, then a patriotic police officer punched me, and now i;m behind bars and nobody remembers me to get me out.
