If you know exactly which algorithms your surveyors are using you can counter with creative makeup or especially designed patterns
More broadly applicable is bright IR lights in a hat or glasses.Will light you up like a flare on camera but not quite so attention getting to the naked eye. If the cameras have their own IR spotlights you can even get away with some retro-reflective stick-ons.

How do I get pic related's aesthetic?

>>14866544
Alsoo this

>>14866553
>>14866544
Ah yes, the "Rupertpunk" aesthetic.

Well it's simple: you start with basic deviantart-tier tacticool garbage not unlike Mr Concept Art's parodic designs.

Then you ask someone (preferably also from deviantart) to buy some pieces that he thinks would look at home in a completely random scifi IP that actually has had a billion different aesthetics over the years, to ensure that he has no fucking idea what to pick.

And then you ask a second guy to just buy whatever he thinks looks "retro" even though his idea of "retro" is just 2011 fashion.

And then you ask a THIRD guy to build you some sort of homemade coat out of plastic bags and literal trash, but with ancient Japanese sewing techniques for some reason.

And then you tell them that they fucked up, and that it should be more like your creative vision, so you draw crude marker sketches of what you wanted all along.

So they get their sewing kits, and try their best to make the pieces they bought for you as ugly as your sketches.

You slap all that shit together, then spray a muddy greenish wash over it to ensure that all the colors become puke-like.

Thus, you achieve the Rupertpunk aesthetic.

7 outtaten, very good call with the waist cord and front pockets, this fixes the main issue of anoraks, by not giving you the silhouette of a floppy ballsack.

The foreskin collar is still what it is, though.

>>14866743
the hood on this one has a particularly nice shape/features to it so I can deal with the foreskin collar

must have some wire in there to strengthen it

Also it's pretty nice quality ventile fabric

Why is Cyberpunk/Techwear so inherently androgynous?

oh wow what a totally clever and not transparent at all way to derail the thread towards discord trannie shit

Also loving how you're conflating techwear and cyberpunk again

Too bad that cyberpunk isn't "inherently" androgynous, and that when you find androgynous cyberpunk characters, they have strong masculine features and strong feminine features, instead of being an atrophied shapeless amorphous skinnyfat hormonal clusterfuck trancel homunculus like you are.

Delete yourself, you have no chance to pass.

>>14867868
it works in spite of the thing it's referencing

>>14867839
I started with neuromancer and loved it so much I started reading other Gibson. I’ve heard snow crash is childish compared to Gibson so I haven’t started it because there is so much other Gibson to read, and I also didn’t want it to ruin my perspective on the whole cyberpunk genre

>>14867985
I don't think childish is the right word to describe Snow Crash, but maybe more colorful? It's a book that obviously doesn't take itself seriously at all times but still delivers a grim story and introduced many great ideas. When I first heard about it I immediately dismissed it when I read that the main character's called Hiro Protagonist and that he works as a pizza delivery guy for the mafia. That sounds incredibly off-putting. I forced myself to read it regardless and having read it I think I'd call it the second best cyberpunk book of all time. Give it a chance if you're ever in the mood, it's still dark, still raunchy and a great read.

Also kudos for reading other Gibson. I know Neuromancer/the Sprawl trilogy is the first (and sometimes only) thing everyone talks about when talking Gibson but I always prefered his Bridge trilogy. It seems grittier and has a cyberspace construct of Kowloon Walled City, which is really cool.

>>14867998
See, I heard "the main character's called Hiro Protagonist and that he works as a pizza delivery guy for the mafia." and I immediately went to my local book store and bought a copy.

Compared to Gibson, Snow Crash is kinda goofy. I don't mean that in such a bad way either, its more so like the suggestions of the future are also very exaggerated. There was no desire for subtlety for the intended messages.

The Bridge Trilogy is gonna be real relevant soon with Hong Kong nowadays etc.

Amazon is producing the Peripheral as a series. I have high hopes for cyberpunk inspo in every episode.

>>14867758
techwear doesnt even look "future" to me. it just looks like present day shit. it's funny to see ppl with crazy ass jackets, straps and a chest rig then pair it up with some regular skinny jeans and Van. if going for the full black meme I'd say full rick or full yohji looks more cyberpunk than say full acronym

even putting aside anon's homosexuality, your assertion that liking signs of youth in women makes someone gay is not so compelling. liking youth doesn't mean preteen or even underage. straight men such as yourself instinctually like younger women bc it means more fertility.

I used to hang out at a cafe in a major city in China. This place was right next to a high end shopping area with all the major designer and a new luxury apartments. But a couple blocks in the other direction was an older more run down apartment complex with stores at the bottom selling hardware parts, electronics, noodles, haircuts and prostitutes. While drinking espresso I would work on coding projects as I am software engineer. This was done from my Linux laptop and I was using VPN to get around the great firewall and also be able to post on 4chan. Moot blocked posting from China, not the Chinese government blocking access. Sometimes my I would do coke if the right people were around. The thing is, if you are doing it and getting it from people who work in the government or have police connections, then you don’t really have to worry about getting caught. My outfit was usually a plain t-shirt in some dark neutral color with all labels removed, skinny fit grey raw denim with geobaskets and a leather jacket if cold out.

Punk has always been pretty narrow, it's not a vague existential concept, it's a stereotype that you choose to embrace: Huron warpaint street thug high school dropout rock-n-roll barbarian pop clown who will turn anything into jewelry.

>>14877273
I agree that cyberpunk shouldn't be watered down and lose its boundaries due to excessively vague or subjective definition, but conversely excessive restriction means the genre can't grow or change and the 'punk' aspect of it is lost. If self expression is to be preserved within the boundaries of cyberpunk creating a definition as specific as the one that you have proposed doesn't work. Alternatively if you're an unimaginative ThinGrey sheep then your definition works fine.

>>14877310
uh, no, this is what it provides, actually

>punk has always been pretty narrow

The fuck, so you're saying to be punk is to conform? I dunno what punks you've been hanging around with but that's a sad, sad point of view.

>>14877318
>but conversely excessive restriction means the genre can't grow or change
that is not only false, since you can just add stuff to it like "cyber" stuff, but would also still be a good thing even if it was true
>and the 'punk' aspect of it is lostand this is not a bad thing
Nobody cares about the 'punk' aspect we're talking about the PUNK aspect
>If self expression is to be preserved within the boundaries of cyberpunk creating a definition as specific as the one that you have proposed doesn't work
yes it does
it has worked for millions and millions of people for decades.

It may not work for your cowardly incel ass but it works. Everyone who isn't a coward is expressing himself through fashion all the time anyway. One's desire to fit into a subculture is a completely valid thing to express and it's one of the desires that allowed punk to become a thing.

Being punk is not about being imaginative or expressing yourself, it's about expressing yourself in this very specific manner.

>>14877338
No. I am saying being punk is to conform to the punk stereotype, as opposed to other stereotypes one wishes to rebel against by conforming oneself to the punk stereotype.

And it's a good thing because the punk stereotype is worth conforming to.

>>14877338
You seem to be mistaking "punk" for "contrarian", and while contrarianism may lead a lot of people to becoming punk, it's also what prevents a lot of people from becoming or staying punk once they realize that contrarianism exists within every single culture and that punk is not special in that regard.

>>14877338
Different anon here but, even the life and style we characterize as "punk" fits/falls into a category. As much as punk is about rebellion and non conformity, it still has a certain look that conforms into a pink stereotype. All the hard ass, cheap beer drinking, diy shows punks tend to fall into the worn/painted leather jacket, combat boots, piercings, crazy hairstyles/colors aesthetic.

Right, and I'm not saying that aesthetic doesn't have a place in the genre (duh,) but the ethos behind punk ought to be carried over as well

>>14877359
And it really didn't take long for the first attempts to diversify punk to veer off into a very distinct offshoot.
in 1980, the Bowie fans who tried to dress elegant and expensive while still being punk did call themselves "punk", but in 1982 they were "new romantics" even if they rejected the label, and by 1983 the "new wave" was its own thing along with all the other "post-punk" scenes, even if goths kind of manage to ride the line.

>>14877348
You can exist within a subculture without conforming to all of it's arbitrary guidelines. To claim that "this is cyberpunk so stop arguing about it" is stupid, because it's all contextual.

>>14877366
I see what you're saying, however I'd argue that there is no such thing as true nonconformity. Once you have two or more people that share and identity based on ideals/views they inevitably end up conforming to that identity subconsciously or consciously. Even die hard punks will hate on posers who don't fit into their idea "punk".

>>14877361
No no no.

"imagination" and "underpinning philosophy" are not cowardice themselves. They are merely excuses to be a coward.
They are the flimsy veil which cowards hide themselves behind, because, being too scared of styling their hair into a mohawk, or to put spikes on their jacket, being afraid of not being able to pull it off, they create an abstract, fantasmagoric notion of "punkness" that's vague enough to encompass what they feel comfortable wearing.

Speaking of philosophy, "underpinning philosophy" is to cowardice what goodness is to weakness in the words of Callicles (whom Socrates failed to prove wrong because he was a bitch, by the way)

>>14877370
I agree, eventually all outliers fall into a category, fit into a label. Even the more niche ones like deathrockers.

>>14877374
I'm not exactly asking you to stop arguing, I'm presenting forth an argument which ought to stop the debate if you pay attention to it.

>>14877366
the "ethos" was an excuse to follow the stereotype, and has now become an excuse to not follow it. The ethos does not matter, only the category does.

>>14877374
>>14877375
The thing I’d argue is that while a style may follow specific guidelines, most people who dress a certain way characterize the style within their own needs and preferences which makes it unique from person to person within the subculture. No two people look alike yet they all fall under the same umbrella

>>14877395
actually they do look alike, this is what allows them to fall under the same umbrella, along with their desire to do so.

they may not look identical, but they will look alike.

>>14877379
Hahaha, what?
Hey fellas, it's cowardly not to conform now. I'm not saying I'm scared to put studs on my leather jacket you fucking smoothbrain, I'm saying there's more to cyberpunk than your autisticly specific definition. I'm not saying traditional punk isn't a nonconformist aesthetic, I'm saying it's fucking stupid to say you can't be punk without conforming to it. And to claim it's cowardly to hold you own beliefs and underpinning philosophy is the most corpofag thing I've heard all week.

>>14877318
>your

>>14877402
Oh because you think you don't conform, do you?

Post fit faggot.

I am accusing you of being just as much of a conformist bitch as everyone else, a corpo sheep who DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE BALLS to wear wolf's clothing, manufactures "beliefs" and "philosophy" as cheap, incorporeal substitutes for physical clothes, and seeks to claim the label of "punk" through "imagination" purely as a way to feel like less of a conformist bitch based on the absurd notion that punks are not conformist themselves.

Please prove me wrong. I fucking wish I was wrong, it would also allow me to claim that title.

so post fit.

>>14877387
Look where that got you.

It's a great thing that the stereotype isn't followed because stylistic development is based and rigid conformity is gay. The punk stereotype is great, love it. That doesn't mean that all you can wear is studded denim and mohawks.

>>14877404
It's like that on purpose retard.

>no comma separating the subject at the end of the sentence from the declarative phrase

>>14877418
Stylistic development in 99% of cases is ugly as fuck and thoroughly unbased. people should be physically forced to dress well and the development of fashion should be tested in laboratories for literal decades before being introduced to a broader public.

>>14877402
>Hey fellas, it's cowardly not to conform now.

This whole argument you two retards are having reminds me of this time that my friend and I were driving past the park and saw the DnD larpers with their giant foam swords.
We turned around, pulled over, and got out to watch their battles and check out the costumes they made. It was pretty fucking amazing that they had found this niche that they wanted to be a part of, and had a creative and social outlet because of it. They didn't give a fuck, and they got to hang with their friends.
but... while we were looking at the swords they laid on blankets, one of them shouted over
>Oh yeah? We'll we think YOU'RE the faggots for not joining in.
That's when I realized they are just as scared and insecure as the rest of us.

>>14877439
Well that's a given, if we weren't insecure as fuck we wouldn't be human, but there are various ways of channeling it, and conforming to a niche subculture strikes me as less cowardly, or at least less hypocritically cowardly, than claiming to be part of it without committing to it.

Would you not agree?

>>14877415
>b-b-but you're a-a conformist too!
Fucking moron. You're missing my point entirely. Yes, nothing is original and you're always going to fall into some combination of categories, but your particular collection of categories does not serve the cyberpunk aesthetic in it's entirety because it is overly restrictive for no reason other than "if it's too vague then you're a coward."

>>14877441
No, developing your own style is not more cowardly than conformity.

>>14877441
Yes, some people will take the lack of restriction as an opportunity to water it down so they remain comfortable while still claiming to be part of the cool kids club. Let them, nobody cares. It will only serve to emphasise those who are authentic, whatever your definition of that may be.

>>14877452
If you agreed with me all along why not make that point earlier instead of trying to argue against my point, only to backpedal when asked to provide an example of how you somehow managed to merge "imagination" with punk.

>the cyberpunk aesthetic in it is entirety
see there's u're mistake again: you're trying to encompass as many things as possible under an umbrella.
Maybe the cyberpunk aesthetic really isn't as broad as you think it is.

Have you considered that maybe your basic bitch fit does not fit into cyberpunk and neither do the fits of a lot of characters from cyberpunk fiction because they are not supposed to be literal cyberpunks?

>>14877456
false dichotomy. You either develop your own style by successfully conforming to what you want, or develop your own style by failing to conform to one thing, and unwittingly conforming to something else instead.

>>14877462
True enough

>>14877441
>Would you not agree?
yes

>>14877466
Sigh. Okay, we have differing definitions of cyberpunk. Post something.

Are you that faggot from the mu thread who thinks that you couldn't possibly get more cyberpunk than techno?

>>14880306
No, and at no point have I considered techno to be "the most" cyberpunk.

>>14867123
You're actually a fucking retard if you believe this. You have no understanding of what the genre actually is. Kill yourself.

I'm moving away from logos and graphics on clothing. Feels inauthentic to so blatantly sell out, but I suppose anything other than DMT induced designs made from your own pubic hair are unoriginal appropriations.

>goverment tries to opress you with force
>you have a nuclear device that says "no"
I mean seriously, we have some bullshit laws here that arguably only exist to harrass certain people my goverment doesn't like.
Also shit is getting worse and no, I don't actualy have a nuke and no, I'm not in a mutualy assured destruction sitiuation with any goverment.
If I was, that goverment would be aware of it.

the government governs, the goverment goverms.

Most cyber:
Electro industrial, ebm, aggrotech, industrial rock.

Somewhat cyber:
Big beat, dnb, neurofunk, darkwave, futurepop, synthpop, glitchhop.

Not at all cyber:
Skrillex, deadmau5, billy idol reading neuromancer while high on smack.

>>14882845
I don't think so, their first two albums are pure. Later stuff is a lot of eps and singles and have a wide variety of genre including a Lovecraft black metal EP and DnB stuff.
A few of my favourites.
