When most people think of cyberpunk fashion, they immediately conjure up in their minds images of vinyl jumpsuits or black trenchcoats, with dark sunglasses and lots of attitude. However, such generic staples of cyberpunk are so unimaginative. And seriously, will people in the future really ubiquitously wear such clothing? What will fashion REALLY look like in the future?
Some people are already asking this question, and are coming up with some interesting answers and ideas. Enter the fashion scene known fittingly as "Cyber." The cyber scene itself is an offshoot of the rivet/industrial scene, which itself comes from the goth scene, which ITSELF was developed from the influences of punk rock in the late 70s and early 80s.
The following links are to articles, picture galleries, and images that embody the Cyber look:

In my opinion, I could very much see clubgoers and the younger generation in the 2070's dressing and acting in such a way. What do you guys think? Do you think the general aesthetic is appropriate? Or do you hold true to the vinyl jumpsuits and black trenchcoats that made cyberpunk what it is today?
