I’m tired of hard-boiled detectives and mercenaries with augmentations. I want some cyberpunk stories with middle-finger-in-the-air, anti-authority, non-confirmist, angry punks. Can anyone give me some recommendations? Movies, games, books, whatever. Just something with a punk rock attitude… more than Johnny Silverhand.

I’m thinking things like Hackers, or Burst City, or the SINless duology, or maybe Cookie Cutter (which I haven’t played). I’m annoyed that I can’t think of more than that…

And I’m hoping KILLTUBE actually comes out. Although while it looks extremely punk, I’m not sure if it’s angry punk. We’ll see.

    True, YT is pretty anti-establishment. I’m not sure if The Deliverator is a punk though. He’s more of just a bad-ass.

      His rejection of the financial successes of Da5id and all the vanity around the black sun was pretty punk. He even puts on street gigs for his roommate

        Ok, you convinced me. I forgot about Vitaly Chernobyl and the Meltdowns.
