AKIRA changed a lot for me fashion wise & really showed how outfits and expression truly evolves into a movement. I'm not big into techwear, more of a workwear person; but the growth of style has been intriguing to watch.

@corbin7020 3 жыл бұрын

I slept on AKIRA for a long time really until researching for this video. For me it was Blade Runner 2049 which changed fashion for me. Workwear is interesting because a lot of the fundamentals (such as practicality, functionality, and wearability,) overlap with other styles like techwear.

i am SO glad you brought up star wars cause while i might not be a fashion guy i am definitely a star wars guy, for better or for worse, and honestly? coruscant SHOULD be a cyberpunk setting! the entire planet is one massive city, with the rich and powerful LITERALLY at the top of society while the common people might never see natural light, just the perpetual glow of neon. the clone wars actually touches on this a little with the martez sisters, showing how coruscant residents who aren't politicians or space wizards not only live a completely different life, but can also resent the people who live on the surface, with good reason in many cases. i'd love to see some star wars media that actually digs into that potential for a coruscant based cyberpunk story. the city aesthetic combined with the "used universe" design philosophy and the power structures make it a really compelling setting. anyway, that's my tangentially related youtube comment rant for the day!

I really enjoyed this video man. I feel like the cool thing about Cyberpunk fashion is that it can be mixed into a lot of different types of fashion and still feel like it could be from the Cyberpunk genre. For example in a cyberpunk world, overpopulation might be one the biggest problems within that world, so you could see all walks of life incorporate their version of what they would wear within the cyberpunk world and how seem less it feels cause it's such a common thing to see in that world due to the overpopulation. Another example I feel like would fit within that Cyberpunk would be people incorporating clothing styles from past eras into the cyberpunk world like how we are doing it now, like how the bomber jacket is a huge staple within the genre, and we can see it has been a staple from WW2, to the 80s to our current time. Keep up the good work man.

Great video! To me techwear aesthetic is very "Cyber" but there's little "Punk" in it. Pure Tech fits usually look corporate and/or militaristic. The "low lifes" of cyberpunk setting would mostly wear clothes inspired by workwear and various subcultures, with elements of technical fashion. Vaclav from Deus Ex: Mankind Divided would be a good example of what I have in mind.

I know many people hate when something new or reinvented becomes more mainstream, but not me! It adds to the look and feel while out in the world. Plus, I feel when someone truly enjoys something, it’s not because it’s scarce or not well known. That’s more of being drawn to the scarcity itself which is artificial and forever changing.

@@corbin7020 I can see the thought that went into it. Also I'd like to build on the idea that the cyberpunk genre responds to fears of corporate control and technological infiltration. The fashion industry itself is seeing immense growth with conglomerates such as the LMVH group, and it begs the question...will creativity die in the pursuit of profit? It will be very interesting to see how young, emerging designers respond to this shift and express themselves as a way of retaliating to the diminishing fashion culture.

Its so interesting how Cyberpunk, an over the top materialist setting blends with modern minimalism. One of those things where it is less to have air pods but some people consider ear buds a bit more stylish.

That. was. beautiful! As a "fashion conscious" society we are so caught up in reinventing the past and for a while now I have found a fascination with Cyberpunk and it's ability to look beyond that. I really enjoyed that you explored the relation between both this subculture and that of Techwear, how they're often grouped to be one and the same, and yet they're not mutually exclusive. I must say I have had scattered thoughts on how to succinctly describe or define Cyberpunk (in fashion) as a genre, I have often struggled to elaborate more than "dystopian"... without rambling, or I've just referred to the film equivalent. However, thanks to your delightfully concise summary, I feel I have a clearer picture of what it truly embodies, as both a segment in fashion but also it's constantly evolving role and purpose in the culture of today.

Great reasearch - thanks! I want to start my Cyberpunk/Steampunk fashion rand in 2023 - I have no experience, but what why not!

Great essay! If there ever happens to be a kind of sequel, it would be really interesting to take a look at other futuristic and even deconstructive brands. Army of Me or the 11BYBBS, for example

Great video! Some Miyazaki (ghibli studio) films fit into this genre (Nausicaä, howls moving castle,...). Though they concentrate more on the environmental aspects.

Beautiful video Corbin, the quality here is insane! I always loved the influence of time and how we perceive it and it's influence on the arts. If we look at fashion in particular, we're stuck in a loop of past trends from the late 1900s. However techwear and other similar fashion aesthetics almost do the opposite. I think how we perceive these dystopian and hyper-futuristic futures to look like, stem from how we believed the future to be like back in the 1970s for example, where it was said we'd be" driving around in flying cars" in 2015. Those lost futures that haven't came to fruition, I believe have influenced the super modern futures that films like Blade Runner and thus the styles of clothing we see in those films. In a sense, the past always influences the future. I think you would find the concept of Hauntology very interesting to look into further. It is the idea that we're at the ends of time and we're perpetually stuck in a loop, constantly being haunted from the past. I believe it directly influences pop culture today massively. Although technology has progressed massively, the concept of hauntology rules that our cultural progression has remained very cyclical. I really enjoyed watching this vid, very informative and some really great points. I hope to see more of these types of videos in the future!

Thank you man! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts as well! Its interesting how in the heyday of cyberpunk (1980s-1990s) the fashion was almost a combination of old and a prediction of the future (ie original blade runner, looks like 1940s fashion but propelled into a future dystopia). I just looked up Hauntology and thats a very interesting concept. very relevant to our fashion world today I think! Thats one of the reasons why I like techwear because its different from the old.

@@corbin7020 couldn't of said it better myself! I almost feel as if techwear goes in the opposite direction of the common clothing trends today. Very future focused and high quality as opposed to trend hopping and fast fashion.

I believe cyberpunk styles stems from street and not fashion. Punk rock style comes from a “do it yourself” custom mentality. I remember being young in high school and sewing my own pants to get them as tight as possible and sewing up patches to clothes or ripping up tshirt designs and adding them to sweater. Punk rock also only comes from poverty. You can buy fashion but you can’t buy style. It’s so lame seeing fashion places trying to sell the astatic of cyberpunk for 100 dollars and up. It’s definitely the opposite of “fight the man”. Reminds me of how grunge style from Seattle was taken and sold in stores. I see the street culture specially 80s and 90s being the biggest influence on the style of cyberpunk. Cyberpunk clothes being street means you can’t show up to the hood dressed mad goofy. You would get roasted or beat up. Punk has always been an attitude and not a aesthetic to be cool. It was supposed to be the opposite of what is cool since punk rock has never been in style. At this point in my life I’m 30 and I just dress like Steve Jobs and still don’t give a f… I do like wearing some joggers and some running shoes. I like layering for winter and love 90s sweaters jackets and flannels I buy from the thrift store. I like dressing like I live in the same world of blade runner and Akira. Thank you so much for posting this video. I learned so much from it and very thankful for your time and sharing. I love all the clothes shown and the richness behind them.

It's funny to me that this is the first of your videos I've seen. I've been into tech wear (and cyberpunk) for years now, and know other creators drop your name. 😎 I really like your take on the topic, you coming to the genre via fashion is really interesting as I am the opposite. When Akira, GITS, BR, Neuromancer etc... first came out there was no market for the fashion we have today. Hell I played the table-top version of Cyberpunk2077 🤷‍♂️ #techwear certainly didn't exist. When I first saw #techninja someplace, maybe EH, my head almost exploded. I was pleasantly surprised with your video, by that I mean the evolution of my style has been directly influenced by science fiction and cyberpunk in particular, before anyone outside of the community knew the term 'techwear', I would tell my friends I dressed as a background character in a Sci-Fi movie. To hear that you came to the genre through the fashion is a testament to how much this genre has influenced design and art since the 80s and 90s. As you said, not everything tech wear is cyberpunk, but it is also true that not everything cyberpunk is tech wear. I think the social, political, economic, and environmental anxieties of our world now have absolutely given the Cyberpunk genre a new life. We should also consider (I know I do, living here in LA) that both Akira and Blade Runner took place in 2019, combine that with a pandemic and it seems causal to me that "techwear" had it's highest search frequency in 2020, nearly twice the previous high the year before. \end.rant

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this (or "rant" as you put it)! and thank you. I feel like a lot of people who are into techwear are people who also are fans of scifi, probably in a greater proportion from other fashion enthusiasts (minimalist, streetwear, hype etc.)
