I think quite a few folks missed or have forgotten that Snow Crash is a satire on the cyberpunk genre AND society at the same time

And those folks are trying very hard with the whole Torment Nexus thing.

nueromancer tried to be edgy and serious, snow crash is weird and fun

Neuromancer was edgy and serious... in 1984.

And as Gibson later said ~00s, cyberpunk's moment is past and now it's boring. (At least according to him, but that counts for something)
