Cyberpunk'd 

That feeling when you've dropped a 50 just before Christmas because you foolishly believed your shitty old Xbox One could do what those teaser trailers implied.

Me: "Oh boy! I can't wait to experience a living dystopian city that encapsulates the height of technology juxtaposed with the moral decline of Western civilisation!"
Ashton Kutcher: "YES! You just been Cyberpunk'd!"

Cyberpunk'd 

To pre-order a video-game and feel cheated by the released product.

Derived from Cyberpunk 2077, a game released with widespread furore.

"I should never have pre-ordered this game. I got Cyberpunk'd well and proper, old chap."

cyberpunk'd 

a) To live your life normally, with average friends, family, and pets along with a nagging suspicion that something is off only to learn that everything is a computer simulation run by insane robots, the US government, or Communist Spacemen.

b) To be fooled into believing such bull as stated above

1. While Thomas Anderson thought that he was merely missing a significant other, the arrival of a leather-clad, ass-kicking ninja babe named Trinity made him realize that he had, in fact, been cyberpunk'd by the machines.

2. Greg Neilson was cyberpunk'd as he realized that it was merely the LSD that made him think he could fly and that in fact, the concrete was approaching him with astronomical speed.

cyberpunk 

1. High tech, low life.

2. The future is here. It's everything we wanted and nothing we needed.

Today is yesterday's cyberpunk dystopia.

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.

The cyberpunk culture of the 80s has had a huge impact on modern films and literature.

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?"
