Cyberpunk is science fiction about punks who did things high-tech.
Kinda past it's vogue now, but this board still gets a post here and there.
Ever read- Neuromancer, Islands on the Net, Synners?

this newsgroup is about a place where the internet/technology integration
into society is so far advanced as that it is a common, everyday occurance
to 'jack-in' to a local mainframe via your cerebrocortex interface, check
the news/weather/mail/account/etc., walk out the front door to the local
hang, neurohack into a backdoor on a pawnshop server for 25 creds, buy a
couple software patches for your deck (decks are the sets of hardware you
use to do cyber), then get cyber-assaulted by a guard from the pawnshop and
go null... the essential setting of the cyberpunk universe is put forth in
the rpg 'Cyberpunk'.

...the attitudes are mostly the same, thusly, cyberpunk.
