It's about swag sometimes. Have you heard about urban dancing, 10 years on my belt my friend.
Have you heard about Cyberpunk?
It's a huge melting pot of different cultures, not only "punk"
(and naming this "goth" or "emo" show somewhat your ignorance about those kind of subculture)
It's not about wearing depressing black colors looking like you play warcraft all day locked in the basement. Future won’t look like you think it will. but fashion shouldn’t be filled with depressing colours clothing from goth paradise movie.
Black color is something more than casual goth wanabe teenager jerking in his mom's basement, I'll let you do your research, otherwise i'd be happy to explain it to you.
We never said there would be only black color, there'll be a lot of different style, different outfit, different colors, almost everything you want, the same for music, etc...
What I posted was just what kind of outfit I'd like for the punk-side of the game
(punk culture, just like any other has it's code, and even in 200years, they'll remains there, the only "too much colorful" punks out there are called posers), about Black outfits, it's mostly all about politics.
Future won’t look like you think it will.
These days kids wear pink and yellow Jordan’s and purple jackets and its OK. Think 20-30 years back when communist happened and what people were wearing then. But now. Do you see my point? it will only go forward not backwards.
Cyberpunk might not be like this, it might be more punk style with LED lights clothing but fashion shouldn’t be filled with depressing colours clothing from goth paradise movie.
Future will sucks, end of story
It'll be just like now, in shittier and messier socialy speaking.
Lowering of our social advancement, richer gets richers, poor gets poorer, it's where our system is going to my friend, stop looking at TV and go outside looking at the real world.
Nothing has drasticaly changed from the 80's, the fashion maybe, but there's more and more homeless people, price on things never stop to grow, less employement, growing of extremists ideology in politics
(for exemple, in europe a lot of neo-nazis/extreme right wings are growing those days), too much expensive technology for what it is
(500$ for a brand new iphone... it's just a stupid phone... and almost half of your pay), etc...
Sure, they don't talk about this in Fox News.
Thought, you are right:
The rich poser kids in corporate area will be dressed in colorful LED clothes:
"Hahahahahaha I'm rich, my life is soooo colorful and nice and all"
Thought, for the poor people in the combat zone, living with nothing, I doubt the "swag" as you call it would be their main problem
No cool & swaggy LED outfits for them:
"Damn, I'm poor, I'm hungry, my life sucks"
I doubt you'll want to be dressed in glowing red in the combat zone, the place where everyone will wants to kill you to steal your goods.
Cyberpunk isn't the game where you're the badass heroe, it's the game where you're an absolute loser, trying to survive the streets.
That said, if you've some cool breaker outfits, post them, no problem with this.
We joked about the low crotch mostly because it's maybe a lil too low lol.
As I said, the Cyberpunk universe is a huge melting pot of different cultures:
Rap, Punk, Metal, Skinhead, Anarchist, Nihilist, Politics, Nazis, Gangs, Blue Collars, White Collars, Swaggers, Clubbers, Raves, Goth, Emo, Insert-whatever-you-want, etc... everything, it's like our world, a big shitstorm of different peoples, trying to live together in a sick and fucked up world.
