IIRC the punk in the term cyberpunk was not inspired by the musical genre, which Gibson was not particularly familiar with, but of course they both share common origins in referring to a person as a punk. (and also IIRC at the time the line between punk and new wave was not as clear, patti smith, the ramones, and the Sex Pistols shared little other than an attitude, everything seems clearer in retrospect, it’s a long time since I read londons dreaming or American hardcore or pattis memoir, and anyway, I wasn’t there.)
