Its just comes 100% out of no where. Like at the end it turns out the Japanese government has sold out to the Jews that took over America, and having successfully plundered Vietnam and Iraq for the sake of money, are now going to turn Japan into Asia's nuclear waste dump.

Thank god for the English dub.

In 2077 rocker boys have been replaced with synth boys. Their special ability is "compile list" which lets them poo poo huge lists of their favorite synth pop songs over any medium.

I seriously hope they do more of what they did with the refused (even though i'm not a huge fan) and get real bands to make new songs that go with the setting, and also 100% on this:

Thanks for the recommendations, the Irving Force tune is almost on the right track but the rest aren't at all what I'm looking for; it's all pretty much house music with a backbeat. I'm hoping there's some stuff out there that is more punk, it doesn't need to be like literally Varukers or Discharge with rolands and yamahas or anything, but almost everything I've found has been pretty firmly on one side of the "cyber/punk" venn diagram with the other side's influence being slight or incidental at best. So far the 1982 album Geography by Front 242 is the closest thing to the center of that diagram I have seen, it's a like Kraftwerk or Gary Numan with more of a punk influence and I know there has to be other stuff that is similarly both cyber and punk

I always interpreted the punk part of cyberpunk to be far more about anti-capitalist politics than any relationship to the actual punk music genre.

There have been so many good synthwave recommendations so far, but I haven't seen any mention of one of my favorites, Bourgeoisie (ha):

With the Battle Angel Alita rec, there's also in that vein a relatively short, somewhat hard to find French Argentinian show called Cybersix (the only copies I found on the net were spanish and french though) based on an Argentinian comic. Not anime but like a lot of french and southam stuff, apes a relatively similar aesthetic.

In the more weeby department, Black Lagoon always struck me as low key cyberpunk especially in its weirder moments.

Also I always felt like east asia has several severely underrated music scenes

This makes a lot of sense considering the commonality of really rich synth pads along with Vangelis being the band that scored Blade Runner:

Now that you mention Engima, New Age really is the granola version of cyberpunk. It has its own syncretism of fantasy, augmentation, and Orientalism.

I couldn't have put it better myself, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream seem like the most obvious common influence on both retrowave style stuff and the eclectic sample based music like Enigma, Juno Reactor, Thievery Corporation, etc that previously enjoyed a similarly niche yet successful place in pop culture. I would guess the link is the focus on texture and atmosphere with an aim towards being pleasant or nostalgic. But to me, for something to be really cyberpunk I expect it to also hold up the punk side of the concept, which means facing the confrontation between personal identity/humanity and the pressures of a society that actively works to suppress those things. So I'm wondering where all the new stuff is that owes more to Swans or Crass or the Germs so I can also listen to that while playing the video game version of a hollywood movie

While on the topic of rap I would also say that Gucci Mane is pretty cyberpunk for being like the real life version of Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid

edit: and XXXTentacion faked his death to protect his loved ones from the Patriots and still operates in deep cover as a dancehall artist named Alkaline hence the contacts and the autotune

edit again: I'm going to make a thread in the music forum asking for cyberpunk music so I don't clutter this one up for people who just want to talk about the game, thank you everybody who gave recommendations and perspective

Note that the first season is pretty good (modulo your tolerance for anime tropes, as mentioned) but the second one is... not.

I didn't think it was too bad on the tropes. No teenage protagonist finding power within themselves. The anime girl is more like a green police officer than a cutesy 13 year old.
The writer actually has read some philosophy so the abstract musings aren't childish and actually tie into the plot well too. Some awkward translations here and there and a few too many beautiful somewhat androgynous men but not too much. It really picks up halfway through season 1 too.

Yeah Psycho Pass season 1 was pretty drat solid, skipped season 2 because it really didn't feel like it needed another one and apparently it wasn't very good anyhow.

Also can't believe GoST and Perturbator got mentions pages back but no Dan Terminus.

True enough, thus my semi-disclaimer second paragraph. Still, it will never cease to be amusing that the very first 'adversary' we see in SAC is a small crew of shadowrunners on a run, the one member of which we see in person (while the rest of the S9 crew were probably taking care of the others off-screen) being casually goombastomped by The Major before she gets a message to wrap things up there, because the actual plot of the first episode is starting.

Punk music and fashion is pretty integral to the setting. Take Johnny Silverhand's band Samurai.

Samurai is a legendary chrome rock band featured in Cyberpunk 2077 for whom music was a way to rebel and fight the system.

Sounds pretty Punk to me. That said it's all good, both styles of music can exist in the setting without ruining it.
