Correct.
Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, noted for its focus on "high tech and low life" and taking its name from the combination of cybernetics and punk. It features advanced science such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or a radical change in the social order.

Hey, welcome to the forums. I think this one has potential, just as long as he doesn't disappear.

their influence paved the way for a bunch of shitty bands that pollute the mainstream rock scene.

Kurt Cobain was a blubberng vagina who shot himself because he thought he was making too much money.

And no, it wasn't his crack whore of a wife. He was just a blubbering vagina.

And grunge killed modern rock.

well, Kurt didn't kill himself, there's too much evidence against it any way you look, but that's not my point...

Come on, I know you're better than that. I know Nirvana created a huge wave of crappy bands and idiot followers and maybe even helped give birth to the modern "emo". But if you look, you'll find that a lot of it's listeners are great people who are not self-centered, retarded, depressive bastards. You may hate many of the listeners and you may not like Nirvana or grunge, but this bashing is senseless. You speak as if liking Nirvana is a fault in a persons personality.

"He didn't kill himself."

You are an idiot.

Anyway, if you care so much on my argument, then search for the 10 other threads where I talk about it.

not necessarily, but mostly. but that's beside the point. the fans aren't in question here, it's the influence they had on the entire music world.

that's a bad example as i'm probably more baised to punk than any other genre. it sucked to begin with.

Yah, I agree with nameless and Darky. Nirvanna spawned countless hsitty bands that ruined what was left of the already stupid punk/grunge genre.
