- Cyberpunk_(album) abstract "Cyberpunk is the fifth studio album by English rock vocalist Billy Idol. A concept album, it was released in 1993 by Chrysalis Records. Inspired by his personal interest in technology and his first attempts to use computers in the creation of his music, Idol based the album on the cyberdelic subculture of the late '80s and early '90s. Heavily experimental in its style, the album was an attempt by Idol to take control of the creative process in the production of his albums, while simultaneously introducing Idol's fans and other musicians to the opportunities presented by digital media.The album featured a cyberpunk-styled narrative as well as synthesized vocals and industrial influences. Despite the critical and financial failure of the album, Billy Idol set several precedents in the process of promoting the album. These included his use of the internet, e-mail, virtual communities, and multimedia software – each a first for a mainstream celebrity. Idol also based his fashion style, music videos, and stage shows on cyberpunk themes and aesthetics.Released to negative reviews, Cyberpunk polarised the internet communities of the period. Detractors viewed it as an act of cooptation and opportunistic commercialisation. It was also seen as part of a process that saw the overuse of the term "cyberpunk" until the word lost meaning. Alternatively, supporters saw Idol's efforts as harmless and well-intentioned, and were encouraged by his new interest in cyberculture.".

- Cyberpunk_(album) description "Sample of "Adam in Chains", the sixth track from the album. An ethereal song divided in two sections: the first part consists of a voice coaxing the listener through a hypnotic exercise; the remainder of the song consists of Idol singing in a melodious, slow tempo.".

- Cyberpunk_(album) quote "CD-ROM, which allows computers to supersede compact disc players, is the next step for savvy musicians on the cutting edge.".
- Cyberpunk_(album) quote "Every counter-culture is, for a brief initial period, the sole domain of a handful of founding elites who inevitably find a certain sense of superiority in the exclusive nature of their undertaking. The 'cyberpunk' movement – term used as loosely as it was intended to be – takes a particularly hypocritical stance in this case since the principle messages of the movement have been aimed at a loosening, opening-up and liberating attitude toward information and the use of tech.".
- Cyberpunk_(album) quote "I threw off the shackles of the past... I was looking for a way to break the stalemate I'd gotten into, which was boring me to death, really.".
- Cyberpunk_(album) quote "I was always very interested in the Internet... It [Cyberpunk] was really all about the effects the Internet would have on us.".
- Cyberpunk_(album) quote "I was really waiting for this to happen... Way back in the '90s. People didn't even think about computers back when I was a little kid. And now the whole world is a global village, for Christ's sake.".
- Cyberpunk_(album) quote "What the profusion, or lack, of cyberpunk definitions seems to suggest is that either individual cyberpunks have some fairly clear sense of why they are a participant in alt.cyberpunk, but cannot reach consensus, or that they do not have any clear idea, and are just riding a trend or looking for a prepackaged image. Undoubtedly, there are alt.cyberpunks of both types.".
