If you look on “cyberpunk” play-list on youtube, it’s mostly some synthwave electronic music.

if I think about Cyberpunk, I obviously think about 2020’s rockerboys with a guitar-axe, or skater like snow crash’s YT. Also, as it’s name stands it’s a deeply punk anti-capitalist. I feel like RATM or noFX would be way more suited in that genre than some DJ playing with synth.

So how did we switched from guitar to synth, and from anti-capitalism to neon aesthetic ?

    I suspect Vangelis’s work on BladeRunner had a big part to play in this

      Woah, I didn’t realize Vangelis created the soundtrack for Blade Runner! I loved his music in the 80’s and early 90’s, but haven’t heard anything about him in 30 years.
