Interesting. I always thought it was kind of interesting that "cyber-punk" originally meant a type of near future sci-fi, and the term was borrowed to use in various types of "retro" sci-fi (steam-punk, etc). Except as a lot of cyber-punk has remained anchored in the 80's aesthetic that was popular when it was created, its kind of become "retro-actively retro". So now if something is "cyberpunk", your not really sure if its going to be a modern view of the near-future, or an 80's view.
