That said, a lot of sci-fi from the 40s-60s that's been back termed as 'atompunk' is pretty loving fash. As someone said, -punk as a literary suffix has become entirely about window dressing and lost all connection to punk as a concept.

because a big part of the storylines that pervade all of the movies and tv shows is aramaki and kusanagi lobbying very hard to act unilaterally, without any oversight and unlimited funding

i guess they're not that incompatible but i always saw gits as being as fashy as any MCU movie

I mean neoliberals are fash/fash-adjacent, as 2020 has vividly demonstrated.

I really think -punk as a literary suffix has always been about the aesthetic and not the underlying politics, look at Steampunk, pure 100% aesthetics.

E: Neonliberal is funny though.

E2: Johnny Rotten, one of the founders of punk music is a fascist piece of poo poo Trump/BJ supporter, so even the people that started it can get confused on what it's all about.

I feel like this is wishful thinking, or maybe the point of contention we're all debating. I've always seen punk as inherent anti-establishment, and that does not translate to inherently anti-fascist. See nazipunks, ancaps, and libertarians. I guess that's where "they just don't get it" comes in, but that's creeping into no-true-scottsman territory.

Yeah, I guess I'd parse it as anti-authoritarian, and say that fascists are by definition authoritarian, but ascribing sentiment to other people's art is basically impossible, look at "Born in the USA"

In junior high we had these cards we would load our lunch money on to and would have to swipe them to pay for stuff. We found out if you unplugged the machine while you were swiping the card it would add the money you were spending to the card instead of subtracting it. We started grabbing other people's cards and doing it for them and would have people distracting the lunch workers so we could do it. The next year the whole system was gone because I don't think a single person was actually paying for food by the time summer came.

I've only played about 20 hours or so of Cyberpunk 2077 so far but it matches up pretty well with Mike Pondsmiths ideas. It's a dystopia where corporations rule the world and capitalism is king. He also said that Bladerunner was a major influence on him writing it, and he never read Neuromancer so make that what you will when deciding what is and isn't Cyberpunk.

The society you are in in Cyberpunk 2020 is not punk, that's the idea. The fact the cops in 2077 will pay you to execute some dude in the street fit well with that. Where it deviates is that if you do a crime in 2020 then the police show up and absolutely loving obliterate you, not just yell at you till you drive away.

Setting off a nuke in a corporate headquarters seems pretty Cyberpunk, the fact that it changes nothing is even more Cyberpunk.

Mike Pondsmith worked for CDPR full time for the time of the development, so yes, it should very much be a Cyberpunk game, if perhaps not a cyberpunk game. The name ever only referred to the RPG.

But you good sir/madam need to add Santa's Slay, starring professional wrestler Bill Goldberg as an evil Santa to your list of films.

Both Chris Kattan and Fran Drescher die horribly in the beginning, and the film climaxes in a game of curling. And if you want or need more than that in a movie, then I don't know what I can say.

The only thing truly punk is that punks will never believe anything is sufficiently punk. The arbitrary definition is always moving.

eh, he acts with a cop's authority and in the sequel his partner pretty much confirms that he was A Cop

and then joe, in the sequel, is even more explictly A Cop

cyberpunk is about bucking the system. even gibson's stuff that includes ex cops or ex military as protagonists has them pretty explicitly become criminals as plots unfold but blade runner's are both working to maintain the status quo

Deckard is 100% a cop and so is K. But at the end of the first film Deckard runs off with replicant becoming a fugitive and in the 2nd K defies his orders an helps the replicant freedom movement who are a terrorist organisation. I wouldn't call that maintaining the status quo.

Bladerunner's script and Neuromancer were being written at the same time which is why cyberpunk doesn't make sense as a genre, really all that ties it together is taking transhumanism to 11, and dystopian society, either via climate disaster, corporate ogliarchy, or a combination of various elements that create that dystopian future.
