For me, I’m not sure.
I love synthwave like GUNSHIP and PYLOT and Essenger as much as the next cyberpunk, but besides a few particular GUNSHIP and Essenger songs, they don’t feel quite right.
Neither does straight up punk rock or metal, which is the other stuff I listen to.
The cyberpunk music I want needs to be a blend of the two I think — the atmospheric sounds and use of synths and technological effects from synthwave, and the overt rage and message and aggressive, imperfect rock sound of punk rock and metal.
Edit: I’m liking industrial so far!
Probably biased as it’s what’s in my playlist rn, but in my opinion, witchhouse /glitchcore / experimental hip hop style stuff. Kind of on the nose but electropunk
