So, grabbed one of the last slots as 
fishbowl~ was finishing off her deck of cards... all the 'Clubs' suits were clubbing outfits, and this one had a definite 'mirrorshades' look that was perfect for cyberpunk, and so I went with Deedee, my hacker mouse girl and Huntress' closest friend. (Which, admittedly, isn't a position with a lot of competition.) Given her mother is a minor rock star, Deedee has been in and out of the club scene for years, so it worked.
(Huntress would be more likely to be hired as the bouncer; loud club scenes aren't good for people with hyperfocus and paranoia issues.)

That's fine, because everyone in the club having something to hide. It'd set off those issues something fierce.
... come to think of it, do people go to clubs in the cyberpunk years to actually go to the club instead of just meet contacts "somewhere public and loud"...?

Well, not everybody is part of the less legal sides of the scene. The great majority of the population aren't the protagonists, just people swept along by the currents.
And even among the people who are 'protagonists' in this sense, some of them prefer places that cna drown out all the other noise in their heads.

I know, I know... but still the impression I got left with :)
"Well, not everybody is part of the less legal sides of the scene. "
And the impression I get from cyberpunk or other dystopian settings is "everyone is doing something illegal, according to authorities, even if the individuals have to get framed for it". :)

Well, heck, you don't even need to go dystopian for that. It would be hard to find anybody who managed to reach the age of majority without having broken a law at some point.
There are laws on the books in most places that nobody remembers exist and that nobody's enforced for decades. Sometimes they're only still on the books because they haven't been enforced, because they wouldn't survive a constitutional challenge if anybody tried to enforce them, and it's less work to just stop enforcing them than to take the active steps to remove them. Like one town in, I think it was Colorado, where somebody discovered that there was still a by-law on the books that stated no women could hold municipal office in the town. Which was a bit of a surprise to the woman who happened to be mayor at the time.
And then, of course, you get laws on the books which are very selectively enforced. See, for example, the classic 'Stop and Frisk' in New York, where the wording of the law wasn't anywhere near as blatantly racist as its actual use in practice turned out to be..
