Cybergoth

サイバーゴス / late 1990s–2000s / Style / Subculture Style

Cybergoth starts with the black of goth and industrial dress, then adds rave neon, reflective surfaces, synthetic plastics, goggles and tubular hair pieces, completing its silhouette under ultraviolet and strobe light.

Dictionary entry

Type
Use one angular extended sans or machine-display face and repeat it at the same weight as the neon accents.
Composition
Make Cyberlox the largest mass above, close the torso in black, and carry neon vertically to the platform shoes.
Material
Add one neon to black PVC, mesh, synthetic hair, foam and reflective tape, checking the result under UV.
Caution
Black clothes with neon are not enough. Carry the inherited goth, industrial and rave elements through hair, material and club lighting.
