What cyberpunk work (movie, book, tv show, etc.) would you say is the most “punk”? What has the best non-conformist middle-finger-to-authority “punk” feel?

I mean, it’s obviously Hackers, right? Nothing says “punk rock” like roller blading down the streets of NYC. Or maybe something more gritty like Hardware, with a cameo from Iggy Pop?

Obviously those are terrible examples. I was just trying to think of which cyberpunk work really captures the punk part of cyberpunk and I can’t think of any really good examples. I’m sure there’s something obvious I’m forgetting though.

      Akira definitely starts out punk with the biker gangs but then… kinda goes off the deep-end in the second half of the movie.

      Chappie is actually a good call, it definitely feels “punk”. Although I’m not a fan of Die Antwoord so I didn’t like the movie all that much.
