It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

Where does the cyberpunk come into play with the garbage bins?

Neon lights and vaporwave when you open the lid. It’s the bees knees.

Two ways.

The outer layer is the ad-hoc (often underground or criminal) system that serves to rectify a problem caused by the unjust rules of the legitimate system, in this case, refuse pirates who match overflow to underused capacity.

The inner layer comes from service to the community becoming punk when the mainstream becomes destructive. When recycling bandits start redistributing garbage they go from being commensal with their neighborhood (causing some noise pollution and some additional mess) to mutualist (providing a service to the neighborhood they scavenge).

I appreciate the explanation, but I don't think I follow what that has to do with cyberpunk.

Wikipedia describes cyberpunk as "futuristic technological and scientific achievements, such as artificial intelligence and cyberware, juxtaposed with societal collapse, dystopia or decay".

I understand the relation to dystopia, and even your comparison to the punk movement, but I don't get the cyberpunk comparison, lol

If you move them wrong they start flying around the street at an ever increasing speed.

That's Cyberpunk: 2077, not cyberpunk, lol
