If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

Reminds me a lot of Moëbius, although this style has really taken off in recent years with games like Sable and shows like Scavenger's Reign. Pretty cool, I like how detailed it is although that sign seems hard to read both here and diagetically, and I find the overwhelming amount of plain blue for the buildings to be a little much.

On the one hand, that outfit doesn't seem very practical for most things.

On the other hand, if the world is destroyed and you're barely encountering other people... fuck it, I guess!

Yeah it's kinda weird, BUT.... the bigger character is at least part cyborg, AND they're headed to a tattoo parlor, presumably to fill in the work on their back.

I'm more disturbed by the lack of tread on their shoes!
