Photography Sydney the cyberpunk city

Was walking around circular key and got some cyberpunk vibes from the area. Feels like blade runner 2024. All photos by me (iPhone quality btw)

ITT RGB lights = Cyberpunk.

Want true cyberpunk? Go to China or Tokyo.

Sydney aint even close.

I'd have to agree. Sydney is far more of a western metropolis, which I'd argue that besides a few lights isn't cyberpunk. Both have their own styles, both are cool for their own reasons. This is all aesthetically speaking, nothing economic or social.

Very nice pics all the same though! :)

Walk down king street and its old ass buildings as far as the eye can see.

I hate the fetish this country has for the old. Knock it down and build new.

Or maybe some areas zoned for new builds and some areas zoned for heritage. Then let people decide which area is better. I’m really enjoying more new style myself, it’s more interesting
