I honestly think we'll see a cyberpunk renaissance (in terms of aesthetic) starting later this year and definitely in 2021. Not just because a game like Cyberpunk 2077 is coming out, but because of things like the Cybertruck (https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck) - it looks outlandish now, but I believe the designers knew what they were doing and understand trends and aesthetics better than most non-professionals.
Then there are upcoming massive Hollywood releases like the Matrix 4 coming in 2021, as well as a reboot of Videodrome and Akira, plus games like Watchdogs: Legion etc.
More mainstream culture is also embracing cyberpunk at the moment. Take the rapper Lil Nas X - https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/45887/1/lil-nas-x-panini-music-video-watch https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/45887/1/lil-nas-x... or the musician Grimes - https://www.pcgamer.com/grimes-reveals-how-her-cyberpunk-2077-character-became-a-solid-chrome-cyborg/ https://www.pcgamer.com/grimes-reveals-how-her-cyberpunk-207...
