Cybercuck

Technologically half-backed.

We believed that computers would bring neural implants, virtual reality, AIs and edgy street fashion. Instead, we have Tik-Tok, Uber Eat, algorithms mostly off the mark, and headsets that make you look like a dimwit. The future is now and it's lame.
Dude, did I see their last self-driving car? It looks like a lice on wheels! - Yeah man, it's totally Cybercuck!

Cybercuck

An individual who has decided to boycott the video game Cyberpunk 2077 because of the developers’ decision to make the game more inclusive. Due to this, they can only watch on from the sidelines as others enjoy their previously most anticipated game of the generation.
“Did you hear that Jerry is boycotting Cyberpunk 2077?”
“Yeah, he’s gonna be a real mad Cybercuck when he sees how great the game is”.

CyberCuck

A person who idolizes Elon Musk and his ventures, believing that technology will solve all of humanity's issues. CyberCucks are convinced that the fusion of AI and human intelligence will lead to a technological utopia, rescuing them from the existential despair of modern life. These futurists wear rose-colored glasses, viewing technological advancements through an overly optimistic lens. They often overlook the potential ethical, social, and environmental ramifications of rapid technological progress, assuming that innovation alone will create a perfect future.
John thinks that Elon Musk will help humanity colonize mars. He is such a cybercuck.

cyberpunk

A sci-fi genre that incorporates cybernetic implants, computer hacking and high technology, usually pitting independent hackers against mega corporations and though police. Seminal early works include the novel Neuromancer (Gibson), and Shadowrun (a role playing game). This culture heavily influenced later works, such as Matrix, and a wide range of books, role playing games, and movies.

Cyberpunk

A subgenre of science fiction that nerds can never agree on the exact meaning of. A good guide line though is the two words in that portmanteau: "cyber" and "punk." Does the movie/book/show/comic/whatever in question have a heavy emphasis on technology? (As opposed to aliens, space exploration, time travel, etc.) Then it's got the "cyber." Does it have a punk-like feel to it? (Dark, neon-filled setting, black leather and sunglasses, techno-punk soundtrack, devil-may-care attitudes, etc.) Then it's got the "punk."

Depending on which nerd you ask, examples of cyberpunk include: "The Matrix," "Blade Runner," "The Terminator," "Total Recall," "Snow Crash," "Neuromancer," "Burning Chrome," "Hammerjack," "Altered Carbon," "Shadowrun," "Repo: The Genetic Opera," "Inception," "Ultraviolet," "Aeon Flux," "Tron," and probably tons of other classic examples this writer is forgetting.

Cliches to look for, that may indicate a cyberpunk story:

- Hackers
- Virtual reality
- A dark (in any sense of the word) future
- Sunglasses
- Leather
- Pimpin' suits
- Razor Girls
- Techno music
- Neon
- Urban settings
- Evil corporate dudes
- Anything related to Japan
- Spunky teenage couriers on wheels (skateboards, bikes, roller blades, etc.)
- A wise and mysterious black dude
- Sarcasm
- Robots
- Gratuitous action/violence/boobies
- Hearing yourself say "Damn this is so cheesy, but I love it so much!"
- Giant, futuristic blimps
"What the hell do you mean 'The Matrix' isn't cyberpunk? It's got the virtual reality, the hackers, the leather, the shades, the deep philosophy, the dark future, the cynicism, the robots, and the techno soundtrack!"

"It was made in 1999. True cyberpunk must be from the '80s, like 'Blade Runner' and 'Neuromancer.'"

"Dude, that's like saying 'Harry Potter' can't be fantasy, because it wasn't written in the same decade as 'Lord of the Rings.'"

"...it's *post*-cyberpunk, is what it is."

"Dude....waaat?"
