In the 1980s, authors like Creator/WilliamGibson and Creator/BruceSterling wrote dystopian novels set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, where they explored themes such as the impact of modern technology on everyday life, the rise of the global datasphere as an arena for communication, commerce, conflict, and crime, and invasive [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul cybernetic body modifications]]. The heroes of these [[FilmNoir dark and cynical]] stories were marginalized, disillusioned, and rebellious "punks" striving for survival against overwhelming odds, [[DownerEnding often futilely]], in [[CityNoir corrupt megacities]] and surreal {{cyberspace}} realms. Bruce Bethke called this {{Cyberpunk}}, and it had tremendous influence on the entire SpeculativeFiction community, spawning a whole fountain of derivatives.

HumongousMecha and PoweredArmor are not a part of these settings ''per se'', but they're an easy visual shorthand to show how far technology has developed. Similarly, they and their derivatives ({{Chicken Walker}}s, {{Walking Tank}}s, {{Cool Airship}}s, etc.) tend to show up sooner or later, particularly in LighterAndSofter works.

It's worth noting that Punk-Punk is not its own genre, but rather an umbrella term used by TV Tropes to describe the entire web of genres that stem from Cyberpunk.

Broke up and clarified a bonkers run-on sentence.


HumongousMecha and PoweredArmor are not a part of these settings ''per se'', but their easy visual shorthand for showing how far their chosen technology has developed means that they and their derivatives ({{Chicken Walker}}s, {{Walking Tank}}s, etc...) tend to show up in nearly all of them sooner or later, particularly in lighter works.
