"Fall in The Light" by Lori Carson and Graeme Revell also counts as this, especially during the final scene of the film.

Complete Monster: Max Peltier is an ex-cop and private detective turned Psycho for Hire. Contracted to silence prostitute Iris when she witnesses the murder of rapper Jeriko One, he hooks her up to a SQUIDnote Superconducting Quantum Interference Device-a device that lets one experience the memories of another, then rapes and murders her, using the SQUID to ensure that she experiences not only her own horror but his enjoyment of the act. He then sends his memory of the event to Lenny Nero, his supposed best friend, so that Lenny can experience it firsthand, leaving him a shaken mess. He attacks Lenny's friend and memory supplier Tick, using a SQUID to overload and melt his brain, then does the same thing to his own employer, Philo Gant, reducing him to a comatose wreck before murdering him. In the climax, Max reveals that he plans to pin the blame for all of the murders on Lenny, then tries to throw his "friend" out of a window.
Harsher in Hindsight: Massive civil unrest brought about by police brutality, militarized police, and race-based protests the police are itching to turn violent mean that this feels even more timely post-2020. No SQUIDs yet but the role of body cams and cellphone video serves the same purpose.
A news broadcaster mentioned that astrologists predicted that Moammar Ghadafi would win the Nobel Peace Prize. Fast forward from 2010 to the 2011 Libyan uprising...
Very early in the film, a caller on a radio talk show can be heard complaining about the country's problems, among them how gas costs more than three dollars per gallon. It was only a few years after 2000 in real life when gas reached and exceeded this dystopian price.
Though still far away from what is presented in the film with the SQUID tech and its ability to experience a memory like it was happening to you, due to 360 video technology and being able to watch 360 videos in VR headsets, you can technically see and hear the world around you in a similar way to how the person who filmed it did, including mundane events (such as bicycling through Las Vegas during the day) to the pornographic quite similar to how it's presented in the film.
In a clip on the news we see Jeriko One say that the government is "re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic" - wonder what made James Cameron think of that particular metaphor?
Narm: A bloodsoaked, crazy-eyed Vincent D'Onofrio lunging towards our heroes with a gun in slow motion. That's scary. Unless, of course, he's also handcuffed to his partner's corpse and is dragging it behind him. Then it becomes hilarious.
Sampled Up: A rare movie version of this trope - a lot of people will know the Fatboy Slim song "Right Here, Right Now", which samples this movie, better than the actual movie. Though admittedly that is due to the song's cultural oversaturation.
Squick: The rape-murder recording, especially taking into consideration what that involves for the character using it. It isn't just seeing it in the first person like the audience does (which is bad enough), but experiencing everything the perpetrator experienced. Long story short, she was forced to experience her own rapist's pleasure when he raped her.
Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The film presents a highly dystopian version of the year 1999 and includes a lengthy, gruesome rape and murder scene in the first act, all of which can easily turn some viewers away.
Values Resonance: Police brutality, militarization, and racism have all become even bigger causes for concern since the film came out, with many incidents of fatal interactions between police and black men causing outcry and riots.
