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.

I know Akira but could I get some help identifying the name and media type of the others?

Example: Akira - Movie, Baroque - PlayStation game

Blame! Is a manga about big places. One big place in particular, the nonsensical mega structure made by malfunctioning robots that is heavily implied to have replaced most of the solar system.

Genocyber is an old euroguru anime from the 90s, i haven't watched it but i know it's a classic and i plan on getting to it

If we're discussing Blame I'd shout out Biomega.

Would recommend for aesthetic, vibe, and world building. Somewhere between cyber and bio punk.

I believe that black and white photo of the dude's face half-covered is from Tetsuo: The Iron Man.

Also, BLAME! Is a massive manga but it has an anime movie on Netflix.

Are there any left that haven't been identified? I think everything else has been mentioned.
