Isn't Cyber Punk without the cyber just Steam Punk?

They do the same thing with Steam. All steam, but where's the punk?

You can't be a million dollar earning tech CEO and be punk

Indeed, the entire concept is based on anti-establishment movements and physical hackers cobbling stuff together from found objects. I once interviewed Bruce Sterling for an article on real-life cyberpunk and he cited Jugaad, the Indian art of frugal innovation, as an inspiration.
