It was the year 2077. It featured an urban city with super-sophisticated science and technological advances. This movement is influenced by the punk subculture and hacker culture. The color cyan purple is the characteristic that sticks in the minds of many people the most. These movements often feature dystopia. Dystopia is a concept of an unworthy and frightening life. It is the opposite of a utopia that lives with prosperity and sophistication.

The decline in quality of life occurs because of pressure from the government or leaders, then terror that comes continuously, and disease outbreaks. There is also a display of dystopian destruction (as dystopian people are called) due to war and technology. All point to extinction. This is the reason why cyberpunk is also known as neon dystopia.
