And you’re spot on Connor, it’s importance shouldn’t be forgotten, but unfortunately I do see a lot of comparisons against the tropes it helped define. And where newer Cyberpunk media moves past these tropes, it’s often judged as not being Cyberpunk.
Cyberpunk is the oddest genre in that retrospect. I’ve never seen a community more at odds as to what does and doesn’t define its own body of work.

Nevertheless, it’s still the genre that I love more than any other. Hopefully fledgling Cyberpunks can continue to push it forward.
