Yeah, I guess I have trouble defining it. Cybernoir would be better, the "punk" side is a little passé especially considering how the zeitgeist has shifted towards cleaner design and more utilitarian gear than Mad Max/Matrix. I think cyberpunk is such a general term, it can encompass masculine tough guy retro futurism like you'd find in an 80s John Carpenter film, all the way to a

I think the key is to have humanising recognisable garments (a jacket, a pair of boots, some flowing or loose cloth) mixed in with clean or technical clothes, plus whatever idiosyncrasies define the individual - Kaneda's stickers all over his bike, Dekard's trench coat and bright shirt, a flash of colour or a seemingly useless (or better, useful) accessory like a tool or piece of technology.

It's not so much cosplaying like you live in an anime, rather swapping out your everyday clothes for some more themed or subtle references to your aesthetic. For example, there is no need to wear a gas mask like old 90s Rivetheads and cybergoths, so wearing one would qualify as Larping. This is what I do, for example I swapped the housing of my phone to a cooler one that fits this aesthetic taste. I like this way of doing things - it makes me feel more comfortable and I enjoy the aesthetic a huge amount without role playing as K, Dekkard, the Major etc.
