I thought thigh highs and cat ear headsets are the style of the modern hacktivist?
20 years ago, it was The Matrix. 10 years ago, Guy Fawkes masks. Thigh highs and cat ears are the least cringy of the possibilities to date.
You’re telling me a Doritos-stained shirt isn’t an aesthetic?
Wow, I can’t believe nobody’s even bothered to mention the style from the definitive hacker movie. Just absolutely gobsmacked. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like:
Notably missing from this picture: rollerblades, fingerless gloves, neon dyed hair, tons of fishnets (which I guess you could probably stylize as fish.nets or something), puffy vest, etc.
In my day, being a hacker meant dressing like a weird raver/punk and sending people a GIF of a laughing skull, and that’s how we liked it
If you want to see the modern hacktivist style just look at UnixSocks
