The genre that is both a lifestyle and an attitude. It’s edgy and futuristic with wicked tech but only the 1% can afford it. The 99% end up hardened, both physically and emotionally, with butchered tech and black market augments that are hacked and altered to work in ways they weren’t meant to. Cyberpunk is a community that sticks a middle finger up at “the man” in a solidarity solute; a show of defiance that an entire people have fought and
survived.
Of course I am also romanticising Cyberpunk a little. I suppose I see myself as a bit of an underdog and lean towards the steely determination that seems to accompany those in the community. Anyway, the people that actually cosplay and role play Cyberpunk are well aware the stories are deeply emotional, traumatic and entail a level of, almost, inhuman perseverance. The cities are gritty and so are the people. It’s both fascinating and terrifying to me.
So why am I talking about Cyberpunk‽ I'm glad you asked!
This is a very long lead into me telling you about Cyber Fair and that it’s ending soon: 23rd September. Get those last minute buys in now!
My outfit was inspired by Cyber Fair and Cyberpunk, however, it is not really the embodiment of the genre. I'm not trying to represent the community so please don't look upon these images as what Cyberpunk looks like! My aesthetic is more tame and definitely more pink.
