This video is a bit old since it mentions the "new" series Altered Carbon and Mr. Robot but it does a great job of explaining the origins and ingredients that led to cyberpunk.

Good video. One thing about the 80s cyberpubk aesthetic is that it didn't predict the minimalism of today. We enjoy our technology at smaller form factors with fewer wires or moving parts in simple colors.

I'm glad it didn't, because the bulky 80s tech looks cool as hell and I'm glad it's a thing.

Oh I'm right there with you, it's probably my favorite part of the cyberpunk aesthetic.
