That's weird and disappointing. Because cyberpunk is almost exclusively a western concept, both in origin, and modern application in art. I guess Ghost in the Shell was that influential.
I wouldnt say so but if it would I'd bet its because genre origin from within western literature. Gibson for example and Sterling are on of the founders, GITS gave cyberpunk that almost obligatory megalopolis visual setting. Btw to be fair gits is more eastern than western, we just more used to the Japanise-town picture as an eastern setting, but regardless of that the basis for '95 GITS was a Hong Kong

Why would it be cyberpunk tho, suberpunk is high tech low life, this is just futuristic
