Opinion on the cyberpunk genre

I would take a blade runner world over some hipster dystopia

We're kind of halfway between Demolition Man and Shadowrun right now.
There's probably more actual leftist cyberpunk out there it's just not the popular stuff.

I was going to post that.
I believe his videos on neoliberalism and tribal music, hauntology and retro future and American psycho are essential supplementary to his cyberpunk video

While I'm aware of the popular xenophobia towards Japan in the 80s I'm gonna say that for most cyberpunk it was probably more like this lame minions image which is more a matter of taking a noticeable trend to a cynical extreme. Least that's always been my take.

I recall Gibson saying that nueromancer wasn't very good because it was his first book and he kind of just threw everything he could into it. Having not read anything else by him I can't say if he got better tho.
Caring about genres is gay as hell btw. These classifications are for bookstores and academics who are far removed from the original creations they're classifying.

Read Pynchon

Why is cuck philosophy so much better than most of left tube, he's what Philosophy Tube should be. I used to enjoy philosophy tube when he was just explaining philosophical comments, but I can't stand his latest videos where it's just him talking about Steve Banon, or brexit or some other issue/figure I couldn't give a fuck about.

Philosophical ideas* it's very late.

Why do artists delusionally believe they can influence politico-economics? They seem to continue to believe they're anything other than ineffectual, despite all of 20th and 21st century proving they are.

I think Olly is practicing set design and presentation through his recent releases. He is an aspiring actor after all.

Cyberpunk to me is a dystopian future that either never had the idea of socialism or completely forgotten/erased about it. Characters or even the writers themselves can't imagine any opposition to capitalism despite thinking it is shit. It is why most resistance is portrayed in 'anarchists'. So far the mention of socialism in any cyberpunk media is Internationale in Invisible Inc.

Ironically I thought that Tomorrowland of all things was antidote to cyberpunk's pessimism and one of few post-cyberpunk media out there

This is why I don't like this resurgence of Cyberpunk. It has become like all thing 80's nostalgia cash grab and geek culture.
