MODERATORS
and I am telling you you are wrong because the genre of cyberpunk is literally science fiction. Stories, it turns out, can cross genres. That doesn’t change the definition of said genres.
Cyberpunk is considered a sub genre of sci-fi because a bunch of people got together and said that's what it is. Doesn't make it a 100% hard set rule. You just like putting things in boxes. A piece of creative work is what it contains, not whatever categories you shove it into.
I accept that the intersubjective framework of literary genres exists, but have my disagreements with it. You can do that. It doesn't make you wrong, just unpopular.
Suck my peanits.
