i've always thought of what the second paragraph on this page describes as 'cybergoth' fashion rather than 'cyberpunk' fashion. although cybergoth has it's roots in cyberpunk, i've only ever come across the term cyberpunk to decribe either the literaty movement or something that can argued to be related to concepts of said movement. when it comes to fashion i've seen it used as an adjective i.e. "that hair is very cyberpunk", but i've never really come across any real 'cyberpunk scene' or 'cyberpunk fashion'. i would say that the cyberpunk concept has had a big influence on the Rivethead/Industrial fashion, Cybergoth and Cyber (the distinction between which is a different matter ;) fashions. what do others think? --MilkMiruku 14:50, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

Billy Idol was the first Cyberpunk. --Cyberman 06:55, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

I do hope that was an ironic comment. How come Idol was the first "cyberpunk" when he was gathering information and asking questions about it at cyberpunk newsgroups before his releasing of his album "Cyberpunk"? Violenciafriki 09:56, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Curious notions of sequence and causality here--anybody here old enough to remember the time of Blade Runner and what hip urban kids were wearing then? Anybody familiar with what science fiction fans were wearing at cons back then? Anybody done any actual research on styles and trends?

Then there's the assertion that The Matrix "has arguably gone on to influence the concept of cyberpunk itself." Who's doing this arguing? It's pretty clearly a popular and commercially successful inheritor (or late adopter and exploiter) of an established style, but unless "influence" means "reinforce" or "popularize," I'd like to see a source or two.
