    So, ¿anyone know something about this term?. I heard a radio show yesterday. Someone said something about cyber - punkish music, and then a song from Eddie jobson's "The green album" was featured as an example. I liked the song, and I was wondering about this "cyber - punk" element mentioned. ¿Is this album considered as such, or any other?, and ¿what is cyber - punk?. Thanks.

Cyberpunk is basically a genre of Science Fiction,focusing on "high tech,low life".Some examples of cyberpunk novels are Neal Stephenson's brilliant novel Snow Crash and William Gibson's work.Blade Runner and The Matrix trilogy movies are good examples of cyberpunk in film too.

I haven't heard Cyber Punk related music, only as Progtologist mentions above.

I see. ¿Any music realted to this concept that you are aware of?; ¿does Eddie Jobson fits?. I'm intrigued. Wikipedia mentions a band called Cybotron, but also mentions Kraftwerk.
