5-6 years ago I tracked someone down by sending them songs they thought were nothing but audio files. Found out their exact location and went to their house in the middle of the night. Lost interest but still occasionally check; turns out they moved to the UK.
Was wearing pic related and some black trousers and black sneakers (don't know which, but I think Y-3 Qasas, 2014 was peak goth ninja times).

One night i snuck through the steam tunnels under my University, gained access to a basement storage room, nicked an old computer down there, carried it out through a grating by the side of the road, and threw it in the back of my buddy's Honda. We turned it into a media server for our flat.
I think I was wearing a leather jacket, surplus m65 combat trousers, surplus military boots, nitrile gloves, and a respirator.

Anyway, the clothes parts were:

- Idk, probably random daily wear
- Pop's Leather flight jacket, old Patagonia Capilene 2 snap henley, and a pair of dumpstered Cheap Monday jorts
- as close an approximation of normal business wear as I could manage

I got a pretty big reaction for casting my phone screen to a friends tv... (for iPhone users without apple tv this is tends to be seen as sci-fi)

Using Linux anywhere in public feels cyberpunk as long as no one realizes that you're doing the same shit as them but with 10x the button presses they'd use.

How are the two mutually exclusive? Cyberpunk implies futuristic and advanced technology freely accesible to the masses.

Techwear is advanced (clothing) technology. Plenty of fabric advancements done by nasa and the military in several countries have been at some point released to the general public. It just makes sense to think that in the future incredibly advanced clothing will be freely accesible at low prices for people.

Well, cyberpunk is not something that exists outside a creative genre. Its all a fantasy. That is why I specifically said "in the future" whatever future that is.

Also, plenty of extremely advanced technologies are available now for cheap. A few hundred years ago afordable synthetic waterproof materials were impossible. You have low priced breathable lightweight materials as opposed to wool. It all depends where in the spectrum of technological development you stand. How many people could afford glasses when they were first invented? Lenses were cutting edge at some point, now you can buy them for 30 bucks at the mall.

I understand the concept behind techware and see the appeal, all I'm saying is that what seems advanced today could potentially be standard 150 years from now in a dystopian facebook run society.

More importantly, cyberpunk implies being social misfit ultraviolent scum, which sure as fuck isn't compatible with techwear in its current state. Not just because techwear tends to be expensive, but also because the overwhelming majority of techwear looks clean, pedestrian and safe.

You're exactly the problem I'm talking about. I understand the idea that if the idea of what cyberpunk is that it'd be too vague and encompassing too much for it to be a specific genre but obviously people have a different understanding of what cyberpunk is

So lets recap. There cannot be any good threads until there's enough gatekeeping to make sure that everyone has the correct understanding of what cyberpunk is and the only way to do that is verbatim 'consime a ton of cyberpunk media' even though there's a wider variety of cyberpunk media than what you describe

Does this sound correct

>>14892660
No because you said this retarded shit
>even though there's a wider variety of cyberpunk media than what you describe

[Anonymous No.14892667]

>>14892664
>not only have I not described cyberpunk media
Yes I'm completely aware. You have said that you have to have a specific understanding by consuming media, and then refuse to say which media. So when I bring up that there is an incredibly wide variety of cyberpunk media you say that I'm establishing a difference between 'legit cyberpunk media' and what you claim is not 'legit cyberpunk media'

You see the problem here?

What is the 'legit cyberpunk media' and what makes something legit cyberpunk media

I'm sure you'll just say something retarded like 'If you don't know the legit cyberpunk media you might as well quit' or something like that because you yourself don't even have an actual concrete list of what is 'accepted cyberpunk media'

No cause trench coats are part of punk and rivethead fashion

as a matter of fact trench coats with a leathery sheen are part of the stereotypical rivethead fit, and I'm pretty sure I've seen pics of 70s London (not that my definition was this narrow) punks with long coats

But this completely contradicts what you said earlier

Wouldn't that mean that you'd need more knowledge on classic punk and rivethead media/aesthetics than cyberpunk? Why would you even bother focusing on cyberpunk if at its core it's just rivethead/punk? Can something be cyberpunk without crossing over into rivethead/punk area?

You said before 'there's no such thing as stylistic evolution, only the appearance of a new style in the place of an older one' so is it the case that cyberpunk is just the new punk/rivethead?

Cayce wouldn't wear Solovairs. The stitching brands it, and IIRC she's actually nearly always wearing fairly feminine footwear – for some reason people seem to "read" her style as aggressively androgynous, I don't know if it's the prominence of the MA-1 or what, but IMO that's just completely unsupported by the text. There's one scene where, trying to amp herself up, she goes "relatively gender neutral" and puts on a specific ensemble *that she has to buy new items for* and is like "walk like a man" to herself. Otherwise? "Skirt thing," leggings, "Harajuku schoolgirl shoes."

She's about neutrality, yes, but not in a gender way, more like a no-projections, background-y – really, in 2002 being gender neutral wouldn't have fallen into the background at all.

(Tbc this isn't anything against gender neutrality or androgyny – I think it's great and often go for it myself. But it's just not Cayce.)

[Anonymous No.14893255]

>>14893079
I love being able to witness discussion about Pattern Recognition on /fa/ of all places. I agree with your take on Cayce's wardrobe/"gender expression", never thought of her as dressing androgynous while reading. Regardless, I feel like the Bridge trilogy might be more relevant to cyberpunk related discussion rather than the Blue Ant one (even though the latter is Gibson's best work IMO).

What's your take? Neuromancer obviously is his most influential and impactful, but even as a big fan I have to admit that it's not that well written. Cyberpunk novels in general aren't exactly well written, but I love the themes and ideas they create and explore. The Bridge trilogy to me feels more (current) cyberpunk and is better written, but I found most of Idoru pretty annoying. All Tomorrow's Parties, Zero History and Pattern Recognition I think are Gibson at his best, they just don't happen to be Neuromancer. How would you rank his books?

[Anonymous No.14894108]

>>14894093
neuromancer has great imagery but is horribly written. it lags in so many places and just has stilted writing that is not interesting or enjoyable to read. count zero he clearly had much better editors provided by his publisher to sort his shit out. the bridge trilogy is definitely his best written and most relevant. pattern recognition is juvenile, ridiculous because he's removed any fantasy that may be explained away by high technology and instead replaces it with almost fan fiction tier adventures of a woman as seen through his middle aged male brain. it's both sexist and racist while trying to be woke. zero history was even worse.
i'd hold count zero and virtual light as his two best in that they are much more palatable to read, both have great cyberpunk imagery (let's just forget about the cringe super AIDS part in virtual light) and are relatively devoid of gibson's self insert projection that riddled blue ant

Also I was too hard on you, blue ant might be drivel but it doesn't hold a candle to the cringe that was in his steampunk collab with bruce sterling or that comic book arch angel. he had 6 fun books in the sprawl and bridge trilogies. it was a good run. i just try to forget the rest. did you read peripheral? he's totally lost it lol.. 12" cock penis head monsters on floating garbage islands in the pacific. christ

I think I like Blue Ant because I used to live in London from 2004 to 2010 and work as a creative director for a design agency, so most of it felt relatable and I had visited some of the places myself which helped immersing myself into the story. Had I more "distance" to the subject matter I think I would feel the same as you. Just curious what makes it racist? I like that he tried working outside of the cyberpunk bracket and I enjoyed the sense of paranoia and tension that I felt through all three novels (Spook Country less so than the other two, but still).

Didn't read Peripheral or that steampunk crap, and don't plan on doing so. Peripheral sounds amazingly bad.

That's probably a result of the forums or the culture of the company you're keeping. If it's fashionable, and you're not going to be doing anything active, I'd say they're fair game. See, back when Kitanica first launched, they actually advertised in gun culture and firearms review magazines. It caught on really quick though that nothing they designed was actually conducive to concealing a firearm on your person, or doing anything outdoors. I'm not saying you can't make it work, I'm just saying that my feedback comes not from an fashion point of view, but a function point of view. The brand strikes me as "anime protagonist" fashion anyway. Sorry for my deluge, I actually came here to lurk so I could learn, but sort of went off mentally when I saw the brand.

I'll use a hard wearing, slightly textured fabric. A denim, or a cotton drill. Something that between washes can develop a nice grungy patina. When the cold comes again I'll layer her with one of my armored jackets but for now she'll be used with a belt and a molle bag. It'll be nice.

Forgot to add that she'll be worn with either combat boots or fugus.

Not sure about the colour yet, Would love the orange but I'd get tired of stomping fuckers who make convict jokes when I wear her. Will most likely go with a muted earth tone, most likely OD green like pic related.

coveralls can be pretty nice. I have the option to wear them at work and I find them really comfy. I'd love to work them into some fits with a jacket over

these are a pair of surplus german mechanic coveralls. The color and material is not ideal and if you're going to be making them yourself get the fit and material down over everything else

>>14902542
ventile would be a pretty fantastic choice it's essentially a dwr cotton fabric that wears really nicely. It can be a little swooshy when new but worn in would be great

its like a very heavy rough cotton that feels really nice to wear and has some water resistance.

[Anonymous No.14902565]

>>14902560
I take it's not breathable at all then? I can always take the top half off down to the waist belt huh.

[Anonymous No.14902566]

this parka is ventile and I quite like it a lot. A nice balance of water resistance, warmth, and comfort

>>14902552
DWR is durable water repellent coating. It's applied so water beads up and rolls off instead of soaking through. Swooshy is just as in most synthetic dwr fabrics can be sorta loud and crinkly, like goretex but ventile retains a nice cotton feel to it but with added water resistance

>>14902553
I work in a chemical/manufacturing plant

[Anonymous No.14902568]

>>14902565
it's definitely breathable but not as breathable as something like goretex. It'd be more complicated but my ideal jumpsuit would probably be merino lined with stotz etaproof as the main fabric but that'd be prohibitively expensive to make most likely even without a reasonable pattern to go off of

I'm still a long way out to diy'ing that whole deal

pretty sure its a german air crew jumpsuit but it's called a few different things online I just bought mine off sportsmansguide

I don't think I'd recommend it the one I got the material is pretty beat and scratchybut if you got lucky and snagged a newer one you might get luckier than me

Also you'd probably want to be good with the maroon color next time I'd probably go with a standard olive or navy

ventile does not have dwr... it's just tightly woven cotton fiber that swells when it gets wet and blocks further water from getting through. dwr is a toxic chemical coating

all ventile you can buy nowadays has DWR. furthermore, DWR refers to any kind of water repellent coating on a fabric, these are most often PTFE coatings, and these can be toxic but only at v high temperatures. i believe there are both natural and synthetic alternatives to PTFE coatings available. i know stotz makes EtaProof Bio with beeswax DWR

that proved my point? real ventile does not have DWR it is 100% natural. stotz is just shitty cotton coated with a toxic chemical and it wears off leaving you with an expensive over priced cotton. that is why all tilak jackets made with """ventile""" lose water resistance very quickly but jackets made with proper ventile even old surplus british army and navy fear are still water resistance since they use the real deal

[Anonymous No.14902668]

etaproof is just a brand of ventile. Obviously over the past ~70 years it's changed quite a bit but im sure we can agree that we're pretty much talking about the same thing especially since you can purchase stotz or non-stotz branded ventile that has dwr applied or not

[Anonymous No.14902678]

>>14902668
I forgot to mention that ventile itself is really just a branding for the specific cotton textile as well but it's just easier to use in conversation

I don't know anything about tilak or what fabrics they use but the pfc free etaproof 240 bio is a pretty fantastic fabric and is very reminiscent of the older style used in military gear especially with how heavy it is

Yep. I wouldn't touch Stotz. It is garbage and loses water resistance very quickly. Plenty of people got scammed by it already, buying expensive "techwear" brands in Stotz and having it be nothing more than cotton after a few washes. Check the tags and make sure it's the proper old school Ventile before you buy anything.

I've already read the article, which is really more concerned about the fact that it's not really made/supplied in the UK anymore which isn't really a big deal for me. Either way not all ventile is stotz or dwr and there's plenty of decent ventile out there

It's obviously not going to be 100% eco friendly but it's still far more environmentally friendly compared to the vast majority of synthetics

Fact of the matter is that it's already getting fairly difficult to find cheap ventile milsurp, especially if you're in the states

i dont need to be educated by some fashion blogger about fluoropolymers. What this guy is concerned about C8 and C6 are not whats coated on the fabric, these are byproducts of producing the coating, that unfortunately get dumped too much in regular waste streams. Wearing DWR fabrics is not harmful for your health.
