If the future consists of massive computer networks, corrupt corporations / governments and augmented humans, and is dirty and grim (i.e. Cyberpunk), you can bet that the music of choice will be Techno, Electronica, and/or Industrial music. All three are forms of Electronic Music. Ambient music of choice? Techno. Hanging out at the Coolest Club Ever? No Hip-Hop, Pop, or any other dance music here, just techno.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ironically, Punk Rock itself, despite the obvious assumption, seems to be absent in many cyberpunk offerings. It may be due to its dated style in many ways. Many feel that punk rock was at its peak in The '70s and stopped being relevant after the mid 80s, which is about when cyberpunk actually took off.
Since techno, industrial music, and electronica require electronics (hence the name) to work, the use of such can bring a futuristic feel to it. The music is usually played to give a dystopian mood. Since cyberpunk is usually set in a Dystopia, and in a technological world, this kind of music is perfect for that setting.
Compare and contrast Heavy Mithril for the music common for fantasy settings.

It's a franchise staple. TRON: Uprising uses a cross of a stripped-down Legacy theme and incidental music that wouldn't be out of place in Batman Beyond.

Played with in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, which is undeniably cyberpunk, but accompanied mostly by a sort of techno/light jazz fusion. The straight-up techno elements are also heavier in Snake's chapter; Raiden's has more of a jungle slant, until returning to techno right at the very end when everything goes to hell.

SimCity expansion pack Cities of Tomorrow toys with this trope. Most of the default music tracks are fairly atmospheric and minimalistic to begin with, but once futurization occurs, a lot of of the instrumentation is replaced with synthesizers... Which in a way, make the music sound more akin to Blade Runner... Even using some of the same synthesizer sounds!

Discussed in Aqua Regia, in which the heroes talk about the music they listen, Daniel states that he loves Thrash Metal while Nimsi states that she likes industrial, in a... much more quiet tone.
The flashback also mentions their music taste, but between Anahí and Daniel, and it's implied they hit off after talking about Punk rock and metal.

TRON:
The original film score was composed by Wendy Carlos, a pioneer in electronic music. It was not so much techno as (much like her score for A Clockwork Orange) a symphonic score with electronic sound effects and instrumentation.
The score to the sequel TRON: Legacy, however, was done by French house duo Daft Punk, mixing straight orchestral violins and pumping electronic beats.
It's a franchise staple. TRON: Uprising uses a cross of a stripped-down Legacy theme and incidental music that wouldn't be out of place in Batman Beyond. TRON: Evolution has a soundtrack very close to Legacy's, and the discredited TRON 2.0 has a soundtrack that plays like a love letter to Wendy Carlos — orchestreal arrangements on synthesizer.

Club 32 in Syphon Filter 2 plays disco music during the cutscene preceding the mission, but the action music is drum & bass. The first two games also have many other techno tunes.

The original film score was composed by Wendy Carlos, a pioneer in electronic music. It was not so much techno as (much like her score for A Clockwork Orange) a symphonic score with electronic sound effects and instrumentation.

Shadowrun: Sometimes averted, Hair metal is the music of choice at times.
The Cyberpunk RPG sometimes averts this as well: the music of choice is "chromatic rock", which is hair metal set to techno beats (so basically industrial?), but supplements imply that hip-hop, spoken word and more stripped-down forms of rock still exist.

The music in Blade Runner (by Vangelis) is not quite techno, but makes heavy use of synthesizers (except for the famous "love theme", played on a saxophone).

'90s-era Judge Dredd comics frequently had posters up on the walls for Nine Inch Nails, White Zombie and other Industrial Metal acts. The tendency of the dystopian future setting to use this kind of music was lampshaded during the Doomsday for Megacity 1 arc across 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine: Anderson meets a contact at a nightclub and comments that the music is giving her a headache and she can't understand why it's so popular.

Perfect Dark has several levels with electronica soundtracks, since the game's genre is a combination of Cyberpunk and Science Fiction.
Subverted in Perfect Dark Zero, where the Nightclub Stakeout music starts with a banging techno track, then changes to the disco-house tune "Limelight" (a real song by Kepi & Kat). Much of the other in-game music is rock/metal. Played straight with the intro and ending themes.

Mega Man Battle Network: Although Battle Network is more of a Post Cyber Punk, because of its more positive view of massive networks, electronica and techno are the music of choice during the game.
On the other hand, given that the games appear on the Game Boy Advance system, it could very well just be Retraux 8-bit style music (a la the 8-bit Game Boy).

Every trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 has utilized Electronic Music of some kind, the most famous one being the hard glitchy track "Spoiler" by Hyper. The game itself, however, has a more varied soundtrack of rock, hyperpop, and Hip-Hop alongside electronic music, with Johnny Silverhand's band Samurai playing straight-up hard rock rather than electronic music.
