Cyberpunk is a descriptor, not a music genre, bands tagged as 'Cyberpunk' are always involved into EBM/Electro-Industrial/Industrial, that kind of genres. Films with a cyberpunk theme like Blade Runner, use EBM, etc. That's why this tag exist, not a genre.

wills316 is correct. This isn't about what something sounds like. This is about what kind of mood it evokes and what the music itself is trying to say. I can think of cyberpunk-punk bands, cyberpunk ambient musicians and even music that's not intended to fit the criteria: R&B, pop, dubstep can be cyberpunk, if you look at it through that lens.

You're all wrong, tags on last.fm don't necessarily have to be genres, just words that describe the music it's tagged with. So it's fine to tag music ABOUT cyberpunk with the tag 'cyberpunk' even though it's not a musical genre.

How supid is the mankind.... Cyberpunk is a Sci-Fi-Genre, which startet with the Blade Runner movie and the Neuromancer novels, this has nothing to do with musicgenre, like GoryJury1 saids, it has more gone to a movement. Dope Stars Inc, Rammstein and and and... tagged as Cyperpunk... LOL!

if what you're doing relies on dressing up like a clown, wearing lipstick and snarling at LEDs, well, that's something. if good music happens to be created at the same time, that's not only incidental but surprising.

This defines this tag for me: "My standard is simple: if I can totally imagine it as the soundtrack while reading Snow Crash or Neuromancer or the like, it's cyberpunk. "

We are the ones LIVING in the most cyberpunkish world ever existed :P And I think I am one of those who know how cyberpunk sounds... but who gives a shit about it. I enjoy it and in fact most music I consider as THE cyberpunk music did not even exist in the 80s - everything futuristic at that time was pretty much pseudo.

listen to Front Line Assembly, Atari Teenage Riot, Haujobb, Cyanotic or even Left Spine Down (Since they keep saying they are :P) cyberpunk was a literature movement, and like all art movements it can transcend to other forms of art. [2] Thinking that exactly. And I would add [artist]Mind.in.a.box[/artist] too :)

Well, Billy Idol did have a whole album dedicated to AND named "Cyberpunk", so technically everything fits. But I agree with Nekobebis below who said cyberpunk is more of a theme. (For another blunt use see Dope Stars "Neuromance".) A lot of electronic and industrial music can carry a cyberpunk mood, but as a whole genre it's somewhat feeble. Then again, the 7240 tags tell otherwise. :)
