We are in the cyberpunk era.  (Not the game, just in general)

Super early stages, but still there.

For example: 

• We have disenfranchisement and distrust in the system.
• Corporatism is rampant.  Corporations pretty much control governments now in some places
• Corporate and government cover ups 
• We have an economy that right now, isn't doing the greatest.  Stock market has been rocky with the whole corona virus.  We don't necessarily have hyper inflation here, but inflation is a thing, (while in some countries such as Venezuela, it does have hyper inflation)
• We have a freaking cyber truck coming, plus there's electric vehicles
• We have increased sexuality.  Not the extremes of hyper sexuality, and I'm not saying people are fucking in the streets.  But sex sells.  People use it more to sell stuff all the time.  Including with this, the LGBT movement.  No, it's not a bad thing, but people are more comfortable with their sexuality than ever before. (There's still work to be done, don't get me wrong, but we've made great strides)
•  Super rudimentary enhancements.  Google Glass, which while failed, could be argued as one.  Then they are starting to 3D print prosthetics for amputees.
• Increased surveillance, which can go into point 1.
• Mindless entertainment and social media as a distraction.  Don't get me wrong, this isn't saying it's bad necessarily. I freaking play and collect video games.  But a lot of entertainment, especially TV and movies, have become more mindless.

We just don't have the aesthetic yet.
