Let's not discard my Cybergoth phase. I had plenty of colours, as long as they were neon
You can't just go around in life cosplaying cyberpunk 2077 or mortal kombat outside some kind of nerd convention willy nilly. We live in society. There are rules.
Cybergoths predate Cyberpunk 2077 by like 25-30 years
I had no idea they were from 2047-2052
Yes, one of the rules is to never confuse Cyberpunk with Cybergoth. It's mildly acceptable to conflate it with gravers (Goth Ravers), but not if you want to make friends.
Nobody has more rules than hyper niche cliques. If your locks had foam, you were very clearly deeply wrong about the actual deep meaning of whatever we imagined ourselves to be about and you're doing everything wrong.
You might be hard pressed to find any cybergoths in the wild, though looking at current fashion, maybe I should dig up some stuff.
There are still meetups at festivals like Amphi and WGT, see here for various links: https://piefed.social/search?q=cybergoths+Amphi&community=1277&language=0&search_for=posts
tho yeah, I don't think people dress cybergoth on the daily unless they're an influencer or something.
