The genre has been stagnant for decades, and in an era where the most prolific cyberpunk medium isn't in literature, films, or video games, but tumblr and insta aesthetic accounts, there's very little hope of it transforming on a mass scale unless artists are willing to discard all the bladerunner akira neon stuff, understand the principles that made it relevant for its time, and make worlds grounded in the cyberpunk that "is now," not some 1980s retrofuture dream.
