It's aesthetically extremely cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk is a genre of fiction.
Gibson's fiction created an aesthetic and I am pretty sure more people are now aware of the aesthetic than the fiction with gave rise to it.
And an aesthetic. You can google it if you're unfamiliar!
I'm very much familiar. It's just incorrect.
So it is decreed! 'Cyberpunk aesthetic' is hereafter an incoherent concept! Well done, sir. Objective truth is defended.
I'm glad you've seen the error of your ways.
Why dig in so rigidly?
