Blade runner is heavily inspired by 1920, you can say it's a decadent futuristic take on 1920s style, there are lot of art deco inspired props and graphic patterns, it's peaking in the Snake Pit scenes. Woman's hairstyles tend to be short, various crops and bobs. Heavy makeup was introduced in 1920's there was a lot of experimentation before it's settled as a makeup we're used to see. Rachel look like a Chanel's 20s model. Deckard and Roy's coats patterns might look weird but if you check up 1920's patterns you'll get where it came from. Of course there are lot of other stuff to add into pot, like punk and that oriental vibe, the genius of blade runner is somehow it all works together, everything feels authentic and eclectic.

Neo-noir is not a futuristic aesthetic.

it's just the style of noir films made in the latter third of the XXth century. Colder, more stylized, more violent than noir films from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

A few of those films happen to be scifi but the overwhelming majority of them take place in present day and many go out of their way to be somewhat retro.

Also it's Noir, not Noire. Masculine adjective.

Cyberpunk related clothing - at least for me - falls somewhere in the middle between "What 'looks' cyberpunk" and "What would someone in a fictional cyberpunk universe wear". I think pic related is a good example of that, it has the look of something repurposed from the street, something that a Case or Chevette Washington would wear but it also looks like what I imagine 80s Cyberpunk authors imagined the fashion of the future to look like.

[Anonymous No.15874025]

This one might be full techwear but since it's neither all black nor does it look like a hard Sci-Fi uniform I think it very well fits the cyberpunk look - subdued, earthy colors, distressing but also "hardened" against hostile environment.

[Anonymous No.15874059]

>>15872351
>Can Cyberpunk ever be effay?
Possibly... although those who attempt to pull it off will likely end up looking like goofninja-lite fags in pic related.

If you haven't learned already; it's photographers, models and environments that make an otherwise extreme or outlandish fit work.

Before you leave your house... look in the mirror and ask... "how will I look wearing this under the flickering glow of flourecent lights while grocery shopping?"

Not in decades has anyone successfully pulled off a duster, fingerless gloves, bandoliers, multiple belts or half the shit you midwits associate with this aesthetic.

The future is not a dark, grungy, smoke filled derelict enviornment, dimly lit by neon lights. It's a clean, white, numb, ios inspired brutalist hellhole. It's lit by blinding LEDs and replacing brick and mortar with transparent plexiglass and white plastics.

You wanted Bladerunner... You're getting Demolition Man. Unless you're ready to concede to living in a sewer off of rats and dumpster dives... You will never, ever fit in; let alone be fashionable.

I mean The Matrix is pretty much exactly cyberpunk. Like you pointed out, the fits are punky/gothy and the setting is a futuristic literal cyber world. I don't think there's one definition for the style. Obviously Gibson's cyberpunk is very different from Dick's is different from Proyas's. The key elements are technological advancement and some sort of rebellion against the status quo.

Proper revivals never happen. Fashion is not cyclical, it's self-cannibalizing.

Even when people honestly try to bring back the fashion style of a certain decade, they only bring back a few elements (not always the good ones) and combine it with whatever is already popular along with a bunch of other elements from other decades.

As a result, most of fashion is shit. The 80s are one of the rare points in modern history where fashion was mostly good.

Which does not even begin to contradict my point: the more it strays from the 80s, the worse it gets. Quality not quantity.

Not to mention that there was a bit of a cultural lag in mainstream pop culture that made emblematic 80s things (such as cyberpunk) last well into the early 90s.

Also, you're only taking movies and a few video games into account

You are really bad at arguing. And you should listen to more synthwave, because synthwave is good no matter how many people erroneously believe it's the only definitive reference for cyberpunk.

You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder after spending too much time on /v/ arguing with retards who spent months whining about the absence of synthwave in CP77, leading you to develop an antithetical, and equally retarded position purely out of spite.

>Also, you're only taking movies and a few video games into account
there is one video game on that list, four books, a graphic novel and an anime masterpiece.

>synthwave
go back to obsessing over every single page of the hotline miami wiki. synthwave is a streamlined, sterile flavor of the month music genre so badly relying on faux nostalgia for the 80s that it's entirely void of soul or originality. synthwave has taken the crown from dubstep as the most shallow superficial simpleton fruity loops bedroom produced electronic dance music. i haven't played a single minute of cp2077 nor have i visited /v/ in the last five years but go off i guess.

Matrix doesn't have a tech component to its outfits, though. The characters all dress like members of NIN. Then you move into the sequels and it's even less punky, with Neo wearing some kind of priest outfit with mandarin collar and Morpheus in a vest and suit pants.
Black leather doesn't make something cyberpunk. The story is, undoubtedly, but the fashion isn't.
>>15874454
Batty and Pris fall under the same category as above. Deckard wears a suit and tie for god's sake and Rachel is designer to the max. At best, those two have a lot of art deco influence, but not punky or gothy at all.

Do you see a digital or futuristic setting with themes of rebellion and just assume the fashion follows suit? Because that's not the case with Matrix and Blade Runner. The former is obsessed with gothwear and the latter is clearly taking cues from noir in several aspects - script, lighting, architecture, clothing, etc. If you see a trench coat with a popped collar, it's because they're channeling Humphrey Bogart before anything else.
