>What is techwear?
We wear clothes to be comfortable, to cover up our shame, and more importantly for our protection. Technical clothing, focuses on incorporating functionality that enables breathability, water-resistance, comfort, etc. through the use of textiles and construction techniques. When you mention clothes a wide array of different designs will come to mind and it goes the same with techwear although the fashion community likes to lump technical clothing into this one look. This idea that it's a futuristic military style, but that's just not the case. Conroy Nachtigall a former designer of Arc'teryx Veilance explains creating technical clothing as:"It's not thinking about zippers is not thinking about seem tapes, not thinking about ... all these little elements. Those are all part of the end goal"

You can't stretch this far, there's nothing tech about this, it's a different aesthetic completely.
Why not post terrorwave in a japanese comfy core thread?
>>
>>11885919
what matters is that it looks futuristic and inspirational
you don't get to define "the aesthetic", techwear has always been about cyberpunk in general, and cybergoth is cyberpunk as fuck.

That's what I was doing until you came up and started armchair-moderating the thread and coming up with retarded, incoherent excuses for your behavior = acting like a dick.

And wimps don't fight back like I did. that's why they're wimps

bottom line: there's never been any "standard" for what techwear inspo should be, and you have no fucking reason to sperg out and act like a dick, as if there had ever been one.

now apologize

We've always posted random scifi pictures, circlejerking anime and video games in those threads and up until recently nobody's complained about it.

If techwear is about aesthetics then why isn't anybody able to agree on a definition of techwear aesthetics and to stick to them exclusively?

If techwear is about practicality then why have we been posting aesthetic inspo this whole time instead of comparing technical advantages?

And if it's about neither then why are we even arguing?
>>
>>11886284
You have to draw the line somewhere. 00s goth ravers look cool and interesting but I don't see how they at all encompass the techwear thing in visual style, insperation or function.
Don't get me wrong I don't care either way about it being posted here as I can simply scroll past but I can see why people would object; there's no technical qualities, no functionality, no utilitarian design, I can't see how this is related aside from the fact that the color black is involved.
>>
>>11886290
Also on the subject of manga etc as inspo it's usualy relative. Nihei stuff (Blame! etc) is posted a decent bit but the characters in that have a lot of the same aesthetics as real life techwear fits have
>>
>>11886290
cybergoth outfits always include elements from paramilitary or workers' outfits. Welding goggles, combat boots, cargo pants, gasmasks, flak jackets...

Of course none of it fucking works but it's no different from half of acr's range that's actually less waterproof than your average mall anorak.
Meanwhile there's a ton of old military clothing that you can get for cheap at a milsurp store that's just as comfortable and durable as advanced techwear shit.
"functionality" and "utilitarian design" are really vague fucking terms, so all we're left to work with is "eh it looks like scifi shit that's really advanced and stuff." and cybergoth falls straight under that.

Nihei's characters actually have a lot more in common with cybergoth than with "real life techwear fits here".
even in Sidonia you still got shit like Toxine and Ochiai that are straight-up cybergoth, and the clean-ass space uniforms are still patched-up and look like post-apocalyptic Rick.

I don't even remember seeing even one Nihei character that wore running shoes.

you really aren't making a good case against cybergoth by bringing up Nihei

>>11886317
>so all we're left to work with is "eh it looks like scifi shit that's really advanced and stuff." and cybergoth falls straight under that.
Fair point and I agree, however I personally don't think cybergoth encompasses that.

>>11885864
Why the fuck is this bullshit in techwear thread
>>
>>11886354
Killy is usually dressed in what looks like a really patched-up tight-fitting biker suit.
In the early chapters he just dresses like a factory worker, but all black.

I have never seen a "proper techwear" fit that looked like a biker suit.

As for Cibo she's almost always dressed in skintight latex.

If your idea of techwear aesthetics is this >>11883216 >>11883329 then Nihei is miles away from it.

The reason why there's so much irrelevant scifi art being dumped here all the time is because spacecore/lunarcore generals aren't a thing anymore.

So all the lunarcore fags piggyback this thread instead.
>>
>>
>>11886388
Personally I see more relation to techwear in Killy's relatively form-fitting black suit with all its pockets and belts and little details than I do in cybergoths with multicolor fur boots, spikey bracelets, cumbersome rubber hairstyles and corsets.
But I'm not trying to argue that Nihei is 100% techwear, just that it seems reasonable that his work could be deemed closer to inspo material than cybergoths can.

Also a point to note is that cybergoth's presence in this thread seems like it is derivitive of things like Nihei, which is derivative of the real life fits. So cybergoth inspo is a derivative of a derivative and I think that's how it's gone on a bit of a tangent.

And my idea of techwear aesthetics is not graphic printed hoodies

Shorts can be tech in an appropriate situation (ie: summer). However, not wearing socks and exposing your ankles when it's cold enough to wear a heavy waterproof jacket is unpractical (and also looks like shit imo).
