That was one of the things I liked about Blade Runner- it depicted a future that was chaotic, filthy and disgusting, kind of like cities of today are chaotic, filthy and disgusting, in stark contrast to the insanely clean and perfect Star Trek vision of the future.

We just didn't get the aesthetic with it, and people resent that.
