Depends on what you mean by fuck up. I'd argue that it's easier than ever to write, since we're practically living in it.
Brayden Bennett
I would say cyberpunk is easy to fuck up because most people fuck up the punk part.

Originally cyberpunk was supposed to be horror.
Cybernetics, large buildings, asians everywhere. It's against nature man!
Since then we've gained a bit more perspective and we don't consider those things gross anymore. There's still some superstition on corporations being gateways to hell but overall people don't see cyberpunk worlds as distopias anymore. Now it's just a cool backdrop for your real story, usually tackling very different scifi themes, like the nature of humanity or storng AI. A backdrop is a shallow thing, you can't rely on it to carry your story, but people that still think cyberpunk is more than that will try to make it.

You have to think of interesting tehno gimmicks and then create some semi-coherent psuedoscience to explain how it works and how it is manufactured. After that you have to imagine the implications on society and skew it so that it creates mass inequality and societal upheaval.

Cryptomancer is more cyberpunk than most of the games calling themselves cyberpunk.
