      20 years ago, it was The Matrix. 10 years ago, Guy Fawkes masks. Thigh highs and cat ears are the least cringy of the possibilities to date.

        A dude in a full Fox fursuit is the face behind the string of shutdowns that slowed the nation to a halt. I can see it now, FBI dragging the poor guy out of his room, knocking over models and plushies off his desk as he struggles to get his message out to the public.

    Wow, I can’t believe nobody’s even bothered to mention the style from the definitive hacker movie. Just absolutely gobsmacked. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like:

    Notably missing from this picture: rollerblades, fingerless gloves, neon dyed hair, tons of fishnets (which I guess you could probably stylize as fish.nets or something), puffy vest, etc.

    In my day, being a hacker meant dressing like a weird raver/punk and sending people a GIF of a laughing skull, and that’s how we liked it

    I think most anti status quo people wouldn’t be interested in the clothing industrial complex

    Maybe people are just more comfortable expressing themselves in different and unique ways that don’t conform to one “outfit/style”

      I think hand repaired and hand sewn stuff could easily be it. “I made this dress before taking down the stock exchange”

      Punk tends to lean towards modifying what you have with what tools are available, and shopping second-hand. As a bonus, the inherent aesthetic is harder for the fashion industry to co-opt.

        The punk aesthetic was invented by a man who owned a fashion label and had his own storefront.
