means A genre and aesthetic imagining futures with dazzling advanced technology sitting right on top of social decay, poverty, and corporate control.

from Coined in the early 1980s by writer Bruce Bethke, who used it as the literal title of a short story to fuse 'cyber' (from cybernetics, itself rooted in Greek 'kybernetes,' steersman) with 'punk,' borrowing the genre's scrappy, anti-establishment attitude. Editors and critics then applied it to the wave of fiction by writers like William Gibson, and it stuck as the label for that neon-and-grime vision of the future.
