>what will spring from the corpse of cyberpunk?

I'm writing a novel right now I call 'The Meaning of Ill' and I think that what I'm doing might be new enough to perhaps take the niche of cyberpunk on. There is a little I take from themes found in cyberpunk, such as the juxtaposition of the high tech and and the dystopian scumfucks that inhabit this near-future world. Let me explain some of the differences:

1: Social commentary through satire. I especially love mocking socal justice warriors and non-binary furrykin. God, I hate furries. I also hate special snowflakes and the way that ridiculous trans-gender imaginary pronouns have made it into the mainstream. I mean, I don't mind freaks and have hooked with some transgirls so it's not that I hate them, I just think they are often very annoying about it. There are also commentaries on our current power structure, but I am being very subtle about directly invoking the ptb as I don't feel like getting merked atm.

2: Instead of being rooted in a single genre of fiction, I claim direct descent from these genres:

A: Urban Fiction. I discovered this shit in jail, and actually enjoyed what I could find. There are little ebook versions of this form of fiction, but it's basically fiction about the hood written by actual hood rats. The prose is so bad it's hilarious, but cool in a way, like how rappers use their 'bad' english in humorous ways that has serious style. It's usually pretty obvious that a nigger wrote it, but this does not mean it is worthless. Many of the descriptions of life in the hood are so realistic that they seem to be written in HD. The themes one find in Urban Fiction are such classics found in Western literature as:
-GET THAT MONEY, NIGGA.
-GET DOWN OR LAY DOWN
-FORNICATE WITH BITCHES, ACQUIRE CURRENCY
-DID I MENTION THE PURSUIT OF SCRILLA?
The best part is that writing like a nigger is easy as fuck. If they find out that I accurately describe life in the hood through copious amount of the usage of the word ‘nigga’ and wrote that word 500 times in a novel while being white they might lynch me. This is why I might adopt a pen name that sounds black just to be safe.

B: Fantasy. Although this takes place in the near future, in this universe magik is real. I actually depict hood rats using versions of actual irl chaos magik.
>insert black magic joke here

C: Hard Science Fiction. I mean this shit hard as fuck. I’ve been studying the shit out of photonics, plasmonics, lasers and other rad as fuck bleeding edge science and I have lots of super-rad ideas.

D: Horror. Many of my props are designed to specifically take away the humanity of their victims and one of the main plot elements in the invasion of this universe by an uber-ancient, trans-aeonic race of Hunger Gods who are escaping the entropy in their current universe. They are coming to consume all life and energy in this universe. That is horrific to me.
