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
Wait until you hear about the Visigoths...
No, I know about those
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.
This is fascinating, confusing and somewhat concerning all at the same time. How can someone be a goth raver? Is bipolar disorder required? If so, are they taking in new members?
Yeah I've also seen the gatekeeping and purity tests that come with these tribal arrangements in all of their variations. This is such common issue for me that at some point I had to make a gif about
the role people sometimes assume.
I don't think I've seen any in the wild, at least based on what I saw come up in a few searches. They look like fascinating life forms though. I wonder if they're nocturnal or just crepuscular and what their feeding habits are. Nature truly is a marvelous thing.
Thanks for the fun reply. Just maybe stay away from glow sticks for a while if you don't want to relapse.
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.

I just watched the first video and this is nothing like what I could conceive a goth festival would be like.
Cybergoth is one style outta many, most larger festivals have many different styles represented, so it's not all like that.
