The fact that things in a genre are similar is why we categorize them as a genre. It's kind of the point. That's a weird argument.

I do like Sci fi settings that feel lived in as opposed to these super sterile *2001* style environments. I think about the droids seen in the original Star Wars vs the ones we saw in the prequel trilogy. One was full of beat up rust buckets that nonetheless could do everything from translate moisture farm equipment to navigate through hyperspace. The other went PEW PEW while being shiny.

Except I can't think of a single cyberpunk piece of media that's like 2001 and not a grungy used future.

I have to admit, it is an interesting choice to say cyberpunk needs to be more like cyberpunk.

Cyberpunk,Steampunk,and Arcanepunk (also called aetherpunk) are my favorite fantasy/sci fi genres and wish people would make more things using them.
