Cyberpunk is Billy Idol's fifth studio album, released in 1993.  A concept album, it was inspired by his personal interest in technology and his first attempts to use computers in the creation of his music. Idol based the album on the "cyberdelic" subculture of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Heavily experimental in its style, the album was an attempt to take control of the creative process in the production of his albums, while simultaneously introducing Idol's fans and other musicians to the opportunities presented by digital media. The album featured a cyberpunk-styled narrative, as well as synthesised vocals and industrial influences.
