I’ll say this about Hackers: it’s a period piece about what we (at the time) wanted out of the present. We wanted hacking, computers, living at the bleeding edge of all this tech, to look and sound that cool. So the movie takes liberties.
As a concept, that absolutely could be done now. You just need someone to work with today’s youth and extrapolate from the present.

Hackers: Because arcades don’t really exist anymore and no one cares about the high score on for the ones that are still around.
I dunno, AAAAAA still seems to be very interested in arcade high scores, though even they don’t seem to know how many As are in their name.

Hackers: because people don’t listen to decent fucking dance music anymore.
FUCK YOU I’M BRINGING IT BACK
