Cyberpunk
What is Cyberpunk?
Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.
Cyberpunk characteristics include:
- Dystopian city setting where mega-corporations rule
- Full integration of technology into society, featuring cybernetic implants
- Outsider protagonists (punks) who often are very familiar with the technology around them
- Hard boiled detective and film noir vibes and influence
- Themes dabbling in trans-humanism, existentialism, and what it means to be human.

Name another brand that has repeatedly been in the news for products of various types, from jewelry to household appliances, that has been known to explode or catch fire. Sounds like you ignore that news and keep buying from that shit company and now you're salty for being called on it.
Edit: looks like they can't. Probably mad and sad that their 10 inch Samsung phone seems like a bad investment now
Samsung batteries weren't the only ones, just the only big news stories. You should try researching more and being condescending less.
Oh yeah? Perhaps you can name other washing machines that caught fire randomly? Without googling for 10 minutes?
