The term cyberpunk was first used to describe settings such as Snowcrash, i.e. dystopian corporate sci-fi, before it was adopted as a name for the gaming franchise.
I’m not sure if the person you are replying to was using it as a noun or an adjective, I parsed it is an adjective because it’s more inclusive.
Anyway… using cyberpunk to refer to the game franchise, would be a disambiguation. This is the article referring to the original usage.
Nah. Like in Snowcrash.

Yep, I just want more people to read the book because I like it. Cyberpunk the game rocks, Snowcrash rocks.
