Hong Kong.

is cyberpunk when ashton kutcher goes online?

This or Shanghai

Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, depends on how dirty you want to get.

thank you, this will be my new wallpaper

weeaboo

lol faggot

Manila or maybe Sao Paulo.

Detroit

Havana

Hong Konger here.
Hong Kong is a shit hole where the government is trying to make it worse with every single action, like controlling the election and being submissive towards the Chinese government.

I think Hong Kong, also

weird otherworldly mesh of cultures and time periods

The "punk" in cyberpunk covers the shithole part, and actually benefits from it.

Detroit is more like "what happens when the blacks inherit a city".

Easily and without any doubt, Tokyo.

The origin of cyberpunk is from developing faster than they could build, so building on top of the old instead of new.

Most people just throw in Hong Kong and Singapore without having lived there and just staying in tourist spots, but the original real deal is in Japan.

Not sure if this is from Beijin or not.

Singapore is hardly cyberpunk. The urban area as you would call it is miniscule.
Real answer is Shenzhen.

It is

>building on top of the old instead of new
isn't there a word for that? I'm completely blanking on it.

underrated

India, if you want a traditional cyberpunk view.

make a word for what you mean, neologisms. I'd go with destructured cosmopolitanization with cultural miscegenation.

I need to visit Tokyo and Nepal before I die

What kind of cyberpunk? If you mean dystopia where you can't breathe the air without wearing a F/T apparatus then Shanghai.

Kuala Lumpur is right up there with the opening scene of Blade Runner and is an all around crazy city.

Japan is all cyberpunk because Japan.

bump

Beijing has the bad air
Singapore has the future look
Tokyo has the old new mix

Sorry no current cyberpunk city, yet.

Fuck, I want to live in that cyberpunk. Been to Tokyo twice, amazing city.

Is Hong Kong like in the game sleeping dogs?

...

there is nothing cyberpunk about these

Places where polices can shoot people without any reason?

Probably Shanghau, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and other mainland Chinese cities. Tokyo and Hong Kong are too polished now, compared to when they got their reputation in the 80s. Fuck if only Chinese wasn't such a difficult language for Westerners.

Modernity alongside deep poverty and an unjust social order coupled with a corrupt, somewhat useless government in a sprawling city. Sao Paulo has more high-rises (may not be true anymore) and private helicopters than any city on Earth. Places like Tokyo and Shanghai are high-tech and neon but have effective governments.

Its also a shitty city

wow i haven't seen this fucking picture 8 million times

I went to Hong Kong recently and didn't feel this at all

I just went to the island though

Las Vegas

Lmao! I wish I had that picture comparing Detroit to Hiroshima, I can't find it.

Fuck off Sup Forums

Lmao

read: I am uncomfortable when dealing with facts that don't fit my political (liberal) agenda

At least you don't have the great firewall

pretty cringey desu

don't american cities have councils?

what's the most steampunk city right now?

If you've lived in the suburbs with large houses all your life, why would you want to move to the city where living spaces are more constrained?

I live in Singapore.
Hard to be considered cyberpunk when most people here are hipsters carrying MacBook and iPhones

Shanghai is fine, you can breathe the air there and (usually) see miles. You're thinking of Beijing, where a pea-soup thick smog covers everything.

HK is smaller than Tokyo but feels far, far more busy. Tokyo has a more understated quality though. Cultures are totally different.

Palimpsest?

Kyoto feels more like an old city, and it is. Tokyo has many old aspects but is actually a conglomerate of villages and you only need to go behind the main streets to see this. Tsukuba is the ultra modern city of Japan - and mentioned in passing in one episode of GitS.

The full ambitious name is something like Tsukuba Ken Kyuu Gakuen Toshi.

>Shenzhen

just another day in Korea. That feel when have to do civil defence drills in 2016

Seoul seems a fairly cyberriffic city, enormous population density, futuristic areas and landmarks, high tech with many top universities and companies and also plenty geopolitical tension.

Seoul after unification with North will be quite something.

You put on a filter on HK imagery and its suddenly vaporwave af

Where is this?

>unification

Nice

Niggers ruin everything, there does not exist a single black city or country or culture that's good. Their language, people, and culture should be wiped off the face of the earth.

The chinese are the niggers of the asain world.

Aren't those flips

Seoul?

looks like it

I thought Sup Forums hates censorship?

Can't have cyberpunk without the big corp gov breathing down your back.

There's nihilism involved in wanting cyberpunk to manifest. The lust must be greater then.

Don't forget that Samsung and LG are literal cyberpunk style zaibatsu giants that run everything from schools, parks, hospitals and media.

If you are white and don't dress like a criminal then yeah you'll be fine in sao paulo

Very true. Companies ruling over the politicians is also seen in Cyberpunk literature. And the chaebols sure wield a lot of power.

In Singapore they execute you for stealing a piece of fruit, Not a good place to be a criminal.

The answer is objectively Shenzhen.

I've been

It's not that cyber tbhqu

Singapore's main cyber status is from Wm Gibson writing about it. Look up "Disneyland with Machine Guns." The SG government was very much not happy about that one.

>Disneyland with Machine Guns
It's
Disneyland with the Death Penalty

I've been to Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Shenzen, never Japan.
If you mean "Cyber" as in a poverty-tier middle class buying cheap, brand new electronics for their generically metropolitan poor-chicago-with-different-languages lifestyle, then maybe.
the world sucks everywhere, cultures are just different flavors of suck

Those roads look so empty and clean. Why can't we have this shit in nyc?

Isn't Nick Land living in Shanghai?

What's the deal with so many ads/banners in Japan? I never understood.

>not Filipinos

Honng kong and Taipei I would say.

He asked for cyberpunk. Not post-apocalyptic.

Fucking this. I lived in Tokyo for 5 months when I studied abroad there 2 years ago. Tokyo is the very definition of cyberpunk.

I like small spaces, what do I need a massive amount of empty space around me for? it's inefficient

What about Los Angeles?

vaporwave

>Pajeet deGrasse Tyson

vaporwave is just cyberpunk with a more positive outlook

its like that everywhere in Asia. Not just japan
