Cybergoths

Cybergoth is a subculture that emerged in the mid-1990s, blending elements of goth, industrial, rave, and cyberpunk aesthetics. It is characterized by a distinct visual style that often incorporates futuristic and technological themes. Key elements of cybergoth fashion include brightly colored hair, often in neon shades, styled in dreadlocks or spikes. Makeup is typically heavy and dramatic, featuring vibrant colors, glitter, and sometimes metallic or holographic elements. Clothing often consists of PVC, latex, vinyl, and synthetic materials, frequently in black, but also incorporating neon accents. Goggles, often worn on the forehead or around the neck, are another common accessory.

The music associated with cybergoth is diverse but generally leans towards electronic genres such as industrial dance, futurepop, dark electro, and techno. The subculture values individuality and self-expression, with members often customizing their outfits and looks to reflect their personal style. While sharing some thematic overlap with the broader goth subculture, cybergoth tends to be more overtly futuristic and energetic. The subculture has gained visibility through online communities and at specific music events and clubs catering to its tastes. It represents a modern interpretation of goth sensibilities, adapted for a digital age.
