For me, I’m not sure.
I love synthwave like GUNSHIP and PYLOT and Essenger as much as the next cyberpunk, but besides a few particular GUNSHIP and Essenger songs, they don’t feel quite right.
Neither does straight up punk rock or metal, which is the other stuff I listen to.
The cyberpunk music I want needs to be a blend of the two I think — the atmospheric sounds and use of synths and technological effects from synthwave, and the overt rage and message and aggressive, imperfect rock sound of punk rock and metal.
Edit: I’m liking industrial so far!
Now that I’m home, here are links to all the artists I mentioned.
Industrial Cyberpunk suggestions
Nine Inch Nails - The Becoming
Author & Punisher - Nihil Strength (this one is cyberpunk in more ways than one, as he makes his own industrial instruments)
Skinny Puppy - I’mmortal
3TEETH - Atrophy
Ministry - Land of Rape and Honey
My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult - After the Flesh (The band and this song was featured in the Crow, which is where this video get’s it’s footage from.)
Lead Into Gold - Hard Won Decay
Venus In Aries - Justice
Gary Numan - My Name Is Ruin (if you want a real crazy contrast, this is the same guy who did https://youtu.be/Im3JzxlatUs. He’s been doing music since like 1978 and after NIN became a thing, he went industrial and has a great catalog, 23 albums since 1978.)
Trip-Hop cyberpunk suggestions
Massive Attack - Risingson
Massive Attack - Angel
And as a bonus one of Massive Attacks members solo career Tricky - Evolution Revolution Love
Electronica/techno/EDM Cyberpunk suggestions
The Glitch Mob - I Need My Memory Back
Danger - 19:00 (He does mostly tracks without lyrics, which are amazing, but I love this track.)
The Prodigy - Firestarter
EBM (Electronic Body Music) Cyberpunk suggestions
Nitzer Ebb - Join in the Chant
Street Fever - La Corde
Great recommendations!
