4''Cyberpunk ASMR'' is a series created by Website/YouTube user [=EpicASMR=], immersing the viewer in a cyberpunk future.
5
6----
7!! ''Cyberpunk ASMR'' contains examples of:
8* AllThereInTheManual: You might not have known that Christopher was British-Indian or many of the characters' last names if you didn't read that one untagged tumblr post from 2015.
9* ArtificialHuman: The original Octavia android.
10%%* ArtificialLimbsAreStronger: Cain's right arm.
11* {{BFG}}: Omar's sniper rifle, as pointed out by John Tracer in the Season Two Finale.
12* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:Jim during the Season Two Finale.]]
13%%* BigBrotherIsWatching: The United Empire, all the time.
14%%* BrainComputerInterface: The E-brain.
15* TheBigGuy: John Tracer is definitely the powerhouse of the Season Two teamup between himself, MC, and Christopher.
16* BloodKnight: Cain really enjoys violence.
17* CatchPhrase: "We wade through this darkness together" is the catchphrase of Season One, used notably in Season Two before Jim [[spoiler:betrays MC atop the Kojima|Acetron tower.]]
18%%* CityNoir: Neo-Detroit.
19* CrapsackWorld: President Neumann wants to become Emperor of the United Empire, which is already a Police State, and if a place isn't run by the police, it’s run by gangs or megacorps. On top of that, the Naturalists are invading every major city in the U.E, and, oh yeah, [[spoiler:there’s a virus that just got downloaded into everyone with a Kojima|Acetron E-brain]]. Surely that'll turn out fine.
20* CyberpunkIsTechno: [=EpicASMR=]'s OST for the series.
21* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Subverted with the Graveyard Echoes.
22* {{Cyborg}}: Most of the main characters, and a lot of the side characters too. It happens when there's two Cyber Doctors in the picture.
23* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jim revealed that he was bullied as a kid, John was a POW for two years during WWIII, Cain got his arm blown off in that same war, as well as having his lungs permanently damaged, both of MC's parents died when they were young — if a character doesn't have one of these, they're outside the norm.
24%%* DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Thomas, one of the Graveyard Echoes.
25* DeusAngstMachina: Everything goes badly for MC, from the day they mysteriously disappear from their job at the Neo-Detroit Police Department. They [[spoiler:get captured by Propriev as they try to assassinate him]], their apartment is blown up, they're tied up and tortured ''again'', and, just when they think they might have a break in Prospero, [[spoiler:the naturalists invade, and they're dragged into the cisterns below the city where they're betrayed by Jim, are almost killed by Cain with no emotion, and see John Tracer die in front of them.]] They rarely get a break.
26%%* DividedStatesOfAmerica: The United Empire.
27* DoAndroidsDream: Octavia, especially [[spoiler:as she begs MC not to kill her.]]
28%%* {{Dystopia}}: The entire series.
29* EverybodysDeadDave: The MC atop the Kojima|Acetron tower — [[spoiler:Jim, Cain and John are all dead, and Christopher is unaccounted for]]. However, [[spoiler:it turns out that Christopher is okay as he can be, and Cain is injured but alive.]]
30%%* EvilLuddite: The Naturalists.
31%%* FamilyUnfriendlyViolence: The bread and butter of Cyberpunk ASMR.
32%%* GaiasLament: Everywhere showcased in the series so far.
33* LayeredMetropolis: Neo-Detroit was built on the remnants of the old city.
34%%* {{Megacity}}: Prospero.
35%%* {{Megacorp}}: Kojima|Acetron.
36%%* PoliceState: The United Empire.
37%%* TheSingularity: The invention of the E-brain.
38* SinisterSurveillance: The United Empire, though the rules seem to be notably more relaxed in Neo-Detroit.
39* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Christopher, John, and the MC during Season Two, [[spoiler:and Christopher, Omar, and the MC during Season Three.]]
40%%* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Cain, in regards to Octavia.
41* WretchedHive: Neo-Detroit, complete with scum and villainy.
