I think there are already a few subgenres of Cyberpunk. It can be seen easily after reaction to recent trailer of Cyberpunk 2077 game

People either love it (cause it shows the 80s atmosphere and is basede on pen&paper rpg Cyberpunk 2020 from 80s), or hate it, because it's "not dark enough", and it doesn't rain all the time, so it doesn't resemble Bladerunner.

I quite like it so far.

According to Max Pondsmith (the creator of the p&p rpg from 80s) - Cyberpunk is "high tech - low life".

Yeah Cyberpunk 2077 has a je-ne-sais-quoi that reminds me of "Ready player one". The 80's are there.
