And you've got the opening line from neuromancer - which ironically today has a completely different meaning:
>The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channelWhich is a neon blue today, but back then was grey/white/black static.
Anyway the core themes of cyberpunk is more like rebelling against the system / the system becoming anti-human or inhuman, and trying to tackle the identity crisis and social alienation caused by technology. The gritty noir aesthetic - particularly night time and rainy (because thats all you retards ever refer to), is part of cyberpunk but it's by no means the defining feature.
