a literary genre that has nothing to do with the Matrix, being cool, or anime. it's a subgenre of sci-fi in which there is strong sense of helplessness, misery, dystopic ideals and loss of morality and/or humanity. corporations control the lives of their workers and reside in microcosms dictated by the status quo
blade runner, dark city and (to some extent) judge dredd & johnny mneumonic are examples of the genre.

My favourite franchise even though sadly people only think of 2077 when I mention it which genuinely piss's me off especially because I love 2077 (Although there is a lot of things I expect to be in it which wasn't. :() yet it makes people think the whole franchise is shit, let's just hope cdpr make on hell of a comeback soon.

a sub genre of sci-fi usualy whith deep philosophical stments about the nature of freedom and reality. cyberpunk is usualy set in a de - humanised and futuristic society. the protagonist is usualy paranoid or suspicous about society , and usualy gets it right. loads of famous books, films , and comic can be considered cyberpunk, the film "i robot" , and "the matrix" are both cyber punk, even the famous book "1984" can be considered cyber punk , because it is set in a futuristic and de humanised seciety, (admitedly , its original intent was to mimic soviet russia, but it can still be considered cyber punk, loosly)
cyberpunk is not a shalow genre , although many cyberpunk movies are shalow , whith no realy philosophical questions. they are the minority

also reffered to as cyberpranked is a result of action where an unsuspecting victim gets completely annihlated.
Getting cyberpunked usually consists of two phases.
The first phase is formally called baiting. Goal of this phase is to make victims drop their guard. This is usually achieved by overpromising, falsely reassuring and by giving expectations without planning to meet them.
When victim get volnerable and hopeful, second phase begins.
In the second phase victim is shown reality that's worse than promised and painfully different from victim's expectations.
That's how victim gets cyerpunked.
For maximum effect T-pose while walking into sunset.
The current record holder is CD Projekt Red that on December 10 2020 cyberpunked 8 million people at once.

I believed Cyberpunk would work on PS4 and I preordered. I got completely cyberpunked because it just keeps crashing.

When something, typically a game, keeps getting delayed and you start wondering if it will ever come out.
Friend 1: The game got delayed again.
Friend 2: Dude, you totally just got CyberPunked!
Friend 1: I should've realized the release date was too good to be true.

A form of online humiliation, trickery, or just straight up disrespect, such as that done by Video Game designers releasing an unplayable game when they previously said it was very great and playable for certain devices.
