Why ?
Punk political ideologies are mostly concerned with individual freedom and anti-establishment views. Common punk viewpoints include individual liberty, anti-authoritarianism, a DIY ethic, non-conformity, anti-corporatism, anti-government, direct action, and not "selling out". The punk subculture emerged in the mid-1970s; in New York in 1974 and in the United Kingdom in 1976.
Emerging in the early 1980s, the cyberpunk subculture is rooted in a dystopian, high-tech, and low-life ethos. It combines advanced technological innovations with societal decay and often features anti-heroes fighting against oppressive systems. cyberpunk became mainstream within the commercial markets and the globalized world, it transformed to a product that caters to consumer society, merely serving as entertainment.

Enlightenment principles are prominent in the sub-culture, from which many other elements of the culture derive. These principles can be attributed to the Internet's origins in Western, and specifically American, cultural contexts and the significant influence of academic culture, the hacker ethic and gamer culture, which to varying degrees embrace and amplify cultural values such as curious playfulness, competitiveness and collaborative self-actualization commonly pursued through community application of empirical rationalism via debate, competition and creative expression.
Concern for privacy is another discernable value. The right to privacy in order to protect freedom of expression, personal liberty and social equality, thus making anonymity or pseudonymity a valued feature of online services for netizens. This is especially the case for freethinkers, social deviants, political dissidents, journalists, activists or other underground subcultures(defense), where an absence of privacy may put an individual in danger. Originally the result of technical limitations, the prevalence of anonymity or pseudonymity is an integral part of sub-culture.
The intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming the limitations of software systems or electronic hardware (mostly digital electronics), to achieve novel and clever outcomes
I have the sense that the biggest objection that one might level at the proposal that the counterculture is the necessary salve for a dying capitalist empire is to point to the American 1960s counterculture as a counterexample. Though individually some Hippies were clearly radical in the leftist sense of the word, overall, the Hippies of the 1960s had an incomplete critique of society and economy, as evidenced by the fact that the spirit of the 1960s was folded into Silicon Valley’s worldview without the techies having any sense of contradiction. The “fun” workplaces of Silicon Valley and the sort of socially libertarian spirit that pervades their idea of what they do was a direct result of the Hippie relationship to computing. (Keith A. Spencer).
