Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Lemmy needs more content that isn't about US politics right now so I'm making a random post.
What's the most obscure cyberpunk movie you've seen? Name a cyberpunk movie you don't think anyone else has heard of.
I'm not saying you have to think it's a good movie (or that you even like it), I just want to discuss obscure, unknown cyberpunk movies. Come on, let's talk about something other than politics here.
Are you sure it wasn't Minority Report with Tom Cruise? There's a scene where the precog takes Cruise to a seedy club to use a VR headset to view his memories. He looks in on the other customers as he walks by.
Hmm, I don't think that's it. Don't suppose you can find a clip of this scene on YouTube? I tried searching but came up empty handed
I can't find the scene with Tom Cruise entering with the precog, but here's a clip of the club being introduced before they show up.
You're the absolute GOAT for hunting that down, thank you! But the movie I'm thinking of was dingy, low-tech looking.
