The roots of 'cyberpunk' are early 1980s science fiction short stories. Gritty, urban, futuristic, dystopian. The idea is that technology won't liberate us, it'll just make everything faster, cheaper, dirtier, and more out of control.

The movement spawned a lot of bad music (Billy Idol) and bad films (Johnny Mnemonic).

The original stories, however, were excellent.
Wiliam Gibson, Burning Chrome
Mirrorshades: a cyberpunk anthology
Bruce Sterling, Schismatrix Plus

The Matrix films are just the Old Testament in cyberpunk style with Keanu playing Jesus.

'Cyberpunk' fashion is completely pose(u)r. Actual computer hackers wear obscure technology logo T-shirts that they got free at trade shows. Actual machine hackers wear cheap heavy work pants and T-shirts.

i like cyber punk, as gaultier liked it, and mcqueen, and many more. it introduced the way to "techno fashion" (bradley quinn, techno fashion, berg, 2002) and the use of highly technological fabrics well appreciated by kawakubo, yamamoto and forthemost michiko koshino who had the "mutoids" on her catwalk (http://www.michikokoshino.co.uk/0404/).
it was a great moment in fashion and popular culture that didn't happen any more.
not for highbrows...

^ YES!

I loved when McQueen did/does it. I remember vaguely that HC collection for Givenchy when he had a jumpsuit done in a glowing microchip pattern, that was the first time Id ever heard of McQueen and ever since Ive been in love! I love that whole CyberPunk look but of course done high-fashion. None of those crazy chunky platform boot dealies, although I do love the whole idea of ultra-slick clothes.

haha..i've never known a cyber punk to listen to devo or dress like a bike messenger.

then again i've never really known a true cyber punk. the ones i did know swore on their lives to the faint, not devo.

my roommate actually has a bright pink vest from thse guys...i can see her a mile away..

very starwars.. the half sleeves are cool

 

[mishahoi]

last .... the problem with this stuff is one, the pants are WAY too tight, and it looks too cheap (price point around $250 for a onepiece). otherwise, it kinda interesting to look at. and no, i dont actually see people walking around wearing this stuff but theres a lot of sold-out items so *someone* must be wearing them...

pure manga dressing no?

 

[mishahoi]

pure manga dressing no?

yeah, its totally for cosplay, i think, but since its an actual brand people can kind of get away with wearing it to goth clubs and such without being labeled a cosplayer.

some of their ads are kinda cool:

 

[mishahoi]

i knew about this brand a couple years ago but i never knew they had a website... saw these ads while reading my RMs 'kera'... it kinda grows on ya (the fetus logo is a little weird tho...). they have TONS of stuff on their website if anyone is interested in looking at more (dont let the neon burn your retinas..hehe)

 

[philip gentleman]

hahahahaha.

the modern techno/cyberpunk look

well this is my first post on a board about fashion, and i well i feel kinda embarrassed..but i feel that the music that i listen to should be reflective of the clothes i wear. i listen to mostly techno and trance. but i dress kinda normal, mostly in skate clothes cause i skate. im looking for a good site to buy some cyberpunk style clothes cause ive always liked them. BUT dont llike the goth look i went through a mini stage of that in highschool. i like some color. all of the sites that ive been to have been kinda more leaning to goth. does anyone know of any sites that might be more leaning to raver styles?
