A underrated genre of Science Fiction set in lawless sub culture of an opressive and dystopian society dominated by computer technology.
In a nutshell: high tech, low life. Usually taking place within a metropolis city overun by crime, corruption, street gangs, hackers, bandits, poverty, highly advanced computer technology, cybernetic (and mechanical) augmentations and overall, a very dangerous environment to live.

Cyberpunk is a game released in 2020 that was criticized at its launch for having too many bugs and glitches. To cyberpunk or cyberpunking means to release or finish something when it is not ready yet ready or does not yet achieve the standards that were promised or expected. It is usually accompanied by backlash and improvements after the fact.
''That development studio is really good at cyberpunking"
- Yeah they haven't had a single good launch in a while
"You shouldn't cyberpunk that cake, give it time to cook properly"

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

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.
