New Wave science fiction is best science fiction.
What came after is too genre driven and unimaginative.
I'm not saying Cyberpunk and related offspring was a mistake, but to many artist and authors limit themselves by blindly adhering to their tropes rather than trying to expand or elevate them. And most New Wave science fiction ages better, most of it still reads like plausible alternate reality/future scenarios while much of Cyberpunk reads like its really just happening in the 80s or early 90s.

Name one cyberpunk movie you've seen other than Blade Runner? I really don't even 100% think that Blade Runner should be considered cyberpunk, it's too straight forward. Cyberpunk isn't just science-fiction with a bit of grit to it, to be truly punk you have to throw a giant middle finger in the face of everything.

Blade Runner's slow pace and ambiguous plot elements are a bit of a deviation from the norm, but it's still more or less straight forward as far as psychological thrillers go. Really, Blade Runner has more in common with American Gigolo than Neuromancer.

Also American Gigolo is way better than Blade Runner.

Kind of on the right track there. Johnny Mnemonic had the potential to be great but was managed by people with no balls or vision. And I love Minority Report but I don't consider it cyberpunk at all. It's a very straightforward thriller that was executed incredibly well and has some cool sci-fi gimmicks.

Haven't seen the other two but Lawnmower Man sounds like it might be solid and Hackers sounds completely off.

If you want real cyberpunk I think you have to go Japanese. 964 Pinocchio, Death Powder and Burst City are where it's at.

Its not even a little bit off. Counterculture kids use skills and technology for fun and profit. Even the hacking scenes are literally "net diving." It takes place 5 minutes in the future (when it was made) and is a perfect example of some low-cyber punk.

Lawnmower man is great, based on a stephen king story. Its flowers for algernon meets silence of the lambs in cyberspace. Classic 90's core.

I want to defend Steampunk a bit, the part that isn't simply "googles and gears on hats and airships"-punk.
The Difference Engine, the book on witch the term was originally invented to describe, is a fine book. So are the first two volumes of Alan Moore's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and the videogame Arcanum, just to name a few known examples.
Steampunk works well when it builds upon actual steam era history and/or fiction rather than just relying on surface aesthetic in order to serve as spice in your typical fantasy tale, and I feel like many here are being unfair when they judge it solely based on the often cancerous fashion subculture, when Cyberpunk fashion tends to be just as retarded.

Well of course.

Raypunk is a 50s & 60s revivalism. The 50s and 60s vision of the future is very iconic: its why, when people talk about retrofuturism, they usually mean raypunk, aka 50s retrofuturism.

But this thread does show that there is more than one form of retrofuturism - each decade, with its own advances in technology, and cultural norms, will have a different vision of the future.

cyberpunk usually opposes stuff that exists now (dehumanization/industrialization/corporatism), or is so experimental in nature as to be opposing the film establishment.

You could say that Gattaca contains these themes, but I think that the execution is too straight to count. At its heart the movie isn't about 'FUCK THE MAN' or 'FUCK' anything really, it's a movie about a guy who believes in himself and chases his dream.

I think that you're all too generous, and that for something to be truly punk it should be considered unwatchable by a majority of viewers. Punk without offense isn't punk at all.

That was one of the things I absolutely fucking LOVED about Tomorrowland. From the few glances of Tomorrowland that we actually got it was fucking incredible. 50's retrofuturism blended with modern graphics and technology, holy shit it actually made me buy into the idea of a future world where anything was possible.

Of course then Damon Lindelof came in and violently assraped the script so now we'll never get that vision onscreen again.

And I agree with the whole different visions of the future. Best way to go in my opinion would be that Vaporpunk idea seen here: >>67662469

Rather, it generally addresses (not always) what were concerns in the 80s, some that apply now, but many that don't.
And to limit the genre to 'FUCK THE MAN' or 'FUCK' anything really, is a bit insulting to some of its greatest work. At their core, they're usually noirish tales that are less about "fuck authority" and more about survival in a crapshoot world. They were just named punk really because the name was coined in the early 80s, and they were something new and fresh, like punk at the time, or at least in the mainstream.

Also, Biopunk tends to play by other rules than Cyberpunk, there's a reason tit became a sub genre in and on itself beyond being just "cyberpunk with bionics in it". It generally focuses on a society that has been drastically altered by a biotech revolution of some sort, which fits Gattaca. What also fits Gattaca is that a second class, down on his luck citizen gets to risk a better life because a down on his luck first class citizen decides to go all "fuck you" to the establishment.

Jesus, stop being so autistic

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/futurism

Yes, that definition counts, but check definition
2:

"The study and prediction of possible futures."

The future could very well end up being like the 50s. Aor we can all end up using coal powered steam engines again.

No one knows what the future is like. So all speculative fiction about the future is futurism.

Run of the mill advanced early 20th century technology, not really steampunk.

>>
>>67663635
>How did this happen?
It happened because the cyberpunk was never used properly in the first place and became a blanket label for absolutely anything set in the neo-times-square aesthetic. Cyberpunk is just a label an aesthetic, no matter what elitists want to believe, ergo it's fitting that the tech aesthetic genres that came after used the same naming convention.

Blade runner is not cyber punk, it's neo-noir.
GiTs is not cyber punk, the main characters are cops.
Neromancer is barely cyberpunk unless you consider "character is a loser who doesn't like corporations" to be "punk". In which case there are a lot of fucking punks running around in the media.

>Punk just needs to mean the offensive. The rebellious.

That's my point, virtually no significant "cyberpunk" works have punk themes, let alone punk visual or cinematic conventions. Cyberpunk is every bit an aesthetic as any of the other steam punks are, people who say otherwise are in denial.

Ghost in the shell had a lot of themes that were about rebellion. Blade Runner too.

Its why Blade Runner is seen as a good example of Cyberpunk
>>
>>67663998
>Cyberpunk: Information technology and cybernetics, juxtaposed with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order.

This is the only definition of cyberpunk.

"loser who doesn't like corporations" perfectly fits the bill. Same with SnowCrash: Pizza delivery man with an interest in hacking discovers government conspiracies.

What are some actual examples of Raypunk? I feel like I have a good idea of the others but that one is pretty weird
>>
>>67664030
But thats whats unique about it.

If Mad Max and most post apoc movies take place in a desert/barren wasteland, Stalker uses not just a slavland, but a pristine wasteland. Albeit one with a lot of radiation, but there's still greenery and a lot of Life.

A more definite Slavland post-apocalypse would be Metro 2033. But Stalker is really unique due to its setting in Chernobyl.
>>
>>67664058
To make a big deal of this now, to demand that the term (and its various sub-genres that range from understandable to another genre with a different title, to pants-on-head retarded) should be applied rigidly and within the framework of strict genre rules is pretty inane at this point.
It was never a clearly defined moniker, and never will be.
Yet it's easy to tell Neromancer from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, The Diamond Age from Against the Day and so forth.
>>
>>67663928
Technically, Sherlock Holmes takes place in the 1890s, and most definitely before the 1900s. SO its closer to steampunk because its not yet the 20th century. Also, it depicts the development of 20th century technology, but with limited 19th century mechanisms

In a way, run of the mill advanced 20th century technology is steampunk: the Difference Engine, which pioneered the genre:

Was about Babbage actually inventing the modern computer through his antiquated difference engine

Tomorrowland, as I mentioned earlier, is a good example of modern raypunk.

>>
>>67659708
nope. Steampunk is literally "what if we kept running machines on steam?" future, or at least present.

How else do you explain that in this "past" they have flying ships and all sorts of retro looking futuristic tech?
>>
>>67664355

Cyberpunk and Steampunk are real terms, the other two are made up. The other two are just Post-Apocalyptic and Retro-SciFi.

I hated that movie. A student film project that got much more attention than it deserved when someone at Tim Burton's production house noticed it and wired a few shekels their way in exchange for distribution rights.
Also, it has little to nothing to do with steampunk or diselpunk, at least in any meaningful manner.
>>
>>67663928
I'd also add that Sherlock Holmes is steampunk, especially in the punk aspect because:

(a) Sherlock holmes is a a punk in this version, i.e., a rebellious character
(b) the depiction of Holmes as a sloven eccentric, with streetfighting cred, goes agaisnt the grain of typical depictions of the detective as a calm composed man

In this regard, its punk. And sicne tis pre 1900s but uses what would be seen as futuristic technolgoy for the era, its low steampunk.
>>
>>67664185
>Its why Blade Runner is seen as a good example of Cyberpunk
It's seen as a good example of cyberpunk because everything else related to cyberpunk was derivative trash at the time. Neither gits nor blade runner have any punk themes elements at all. Bladerunner in particular is clearly a neo-noir film, especially the characters and their motivations.

>>67664191
>This is the only definition of cyberpunk.
That is a revisionist definition of cyberpunk designed to retroactively create a rational for why literally anything with a certain look or setting can be called cyberpunk.

>>67664266
>To make a big deal of this now, to demand that the term (and its various sub-genres that range from understandable to another genre with a different title, to pants-on-head retarded) should be applied rigidly and within the framework of strict genre rules is pretty inane at this point.
It was never a clearly defined moniker, and never will be.
This is only an issue because of the recent backlash by autists trying to justify their knee jerk backlash against the -punk suffix by saying that cyberpunk has like consistent themes and shit man, but other sub-genres are just an aesthetic. Surprise, surprise that belief doesn't stand up to even casual examination.
>>
>>67659710
Modernpunk

It takes the aesthetics of modern day technologies and fashion and applies them to another setting, such as the far future or past.

Tacticool brigand? Modernpunk

Cyberpunk isn't retro-futuristic so the other three are much more closely associated with each other. In its simplified form cyberpunk became known as "bad noir future with neons."

It actually does when you consider how old and run down Nostromo looked.
