Cyberpunk Glitch Text
A yellow, corner-cut label in the cyberpunk UI style that jolts every few seconds while inverted slices of it tear sideways. The yellow is fixed; the slices use your accent color.
Also known as: cyberpunk text effect css, cyberpunk ui label, glitch banner text.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
