Silverdyne | Cyberpunk 1987

This playlist is my personal interpretation of the storyline between Kerry Eurodyne and Johnny Silverhand. It attempt to capture their history in a retro-futuristic style. By using songs released before or during 1987, it reflects their story told in "Cyberpunk 2077" and the TTRPG; as well as my own personal speculation and imagination.


*I personally have not played through "Phantom Liberty", and have managed to avoid all spoilers somehow, so there’s no mention of it throughout this retelling.

This playlist is organized in a chronological order of events style, to the best of my ability using Kerry's questline from "Cyberpunk 2077", Johnny's memories, and lore from the TTRPG. For clarity, there will be a brief explanation of when songs take place included with each entry.
