Cyberpunk fashion is fundamentally a Black American West Coast fashion.

I go to cyberpunk themed parties, and yet just taking a walk around San Francisco, I'll always see two or three Black dudes on scooters who are dressed more like Neuromancer characters than anyone at those parties.

In fact, one of the main creators of the cyberpunk genre was a West Coast Black dude, even though he tends to get memory-holed compared to the famous novelists

@mbeisen @ProfBootyPhD Even 2000s had Little Brother, Altered Carbon, and Rainbows End. That was kind of the last burst of really original cyberpunk IMO.

@mbeisen @ProfBootyPhD Also some of the best Japanese cyberpunk was in the 90s. Ghost in the Shell, Battle Angel Alita, Serial Experiments Lain...all iconic and original

@mbeisen @ProfBootyPhD Honestly 90s equal the 80s in terms of cyberpunk originality and awesomeness.
