Hackers have mixed feelings about this.
Attitude is no substitute for competence.
On the other hand, at least cyberpunks are excited about the right things and properly respectful of hacking talent in those who have it.

The term grew out of the work of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling and has evolved into a cultural label encompassing any different kinds of human, machine, and punk attitudes. It includes clothing and lifestyle choices as well.
