How do I get that neon cyberpunk glow?

Name the palette and light sources — "magenta and cyan neon", "wet reflective street", "volumetric haze", "rim-lit subject". The glow comes from described light sources, not the word "cyberpunk" alone.

What aspect ratio suits cyberpunk wallpapers?

Build the cyberpunk look from light and atmosphere

The word cyberpunk is not enough. Define the world, palette, light sources, weather, and camera so the scene has a consistent visual logic.

Setting: dense megacity, alley market, rooftop, transit station, or industrial interior.
Palette: choose a restrained pair such as magenta/cyan or amber/teal.
Light and surface: neon signage, rim light, rain, wet reflections, haze, and bloom.
Camera: portrait lens, street-photography framing, ultrawide cityscape, or poster composition.

Avoid the generic neon-city result

Give the scene a specific subject and action, then remove common failure modes such as unreadable signage, duplicate people, plastic skin, and uncontrolled color noise. For wallpapers, reserve negative space for icons; for portraits, keep the face lighting separate from the environment glow.
