In the recent 5 years, there has been a renaissance of "cyberspace" as in the early science fiction, the cyberpunk culture, and aesthetics and a nostalgia of 1980s in general, as shown in vaporwave [0] arts and independent/DIY music. In many works, the imagery of cyberspace was used heavily, and themes included Usenet the Eternal September, Sci-Fi themed hacking and cracking, early BBS and imageboard subculture, lots of memes, etc. And recently there is also an upsurge of cyberpunk-related fictions, games (e.g. VA-11 HALL-A [1]), TV series, etc.
The reason sure includes the economic recession and political failures of the present days, but the death of the early Internet culture and the promises of "cyberspace" being a cutting-edge, cool and fun place has failed in a future that never comes, is definitely an important cause.
