Katzastrophe ( @Katzastrophe@feddit.de ) 135•2 months agoI thought thigh highs and cat ear headsets are the style of the modern hacktivist?
frezik ( @frezik@midwest.social ) 83•2 months ago20 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.

to be fair, while not much of a hacker since the days when you could just open windows and delete the password, most of my casual wardrobe could pass for ‘cozy pyjama party matrix cosplay’.
but new images are always nice.
LinkOpensChest.wav ( @LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 24•2 months agoThat, or a fursuit! There’s definitely a current aesthetic imo, but obviously it’s a generalization that not everyone fits, as has always been the case.

jlow (he/him) ( @jlow@beehaw.org ) 62•2 months agoIt’s literally part of hacker-ethics to not judge people by their fancy exterior:
Hackers should be judged by their acting, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.

For those who aren’t familiar - CCC is the chaos computer club, they have lots of talks and events all about tech, politics, intel, hacking/security, etc.
Great resource to socialize with
nilloc ( @nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de ) English3•2 months agoI believe that’s the origin of “tits or GTFO” came from too, a cringey way of saying that they don’t care if your a girl if you say something dumb online. Though predictably it morphed into incel taunts and male chauvinist bullshit once the meaning was lost.

mydoomlessaccount ( @mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub ) 42•2 months agoWow, 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
violetraven ( @violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 4•2 months agoEverything about this. Yes!
JasonDJ ( @JasonDJ@lemmy.zip ) 2•2 months agoThey dressed like JP from Grandmas Boy.
stevedidwhat_infosec ( @stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub ) 37•2 months agoI think most anti status quo people wouldn’t be interested in the clothing industrial complex
Maybe people are just more comfortable expressing themselves in different and unique ways that don’t conform to one “outfit/style”
caseyweederman ( @caseyweederman@lemmy.ca ) 26•2 months agoPunk tends to lean towards modifying what you have with what tools are available, and shopping second-hand. As a bonus, the inherent aesthetic is harder for the fashion industry to co-opt.
WamGams ( @WamGams@lemmy.ca ) 11•2 months agoThe punk aesthetic was invented by a man who owned a fashion label and had his own storefront.
caseyweederman ( @caseyweederman@lemmy.ca ) 8•2 months agoPunk, like 80s punk? Safety pin piercings, jackets with the arms torn off, covered in handsewn patches, egg-white hair glue?

uriel238 ( @uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) 25•2 months agoWe’re the black hoodie guy, which is the media aesthetic the way Ninjas are decked in Kabuki black.
Real ninjas look like peasants because they’re covert operatives. Hacktivists look like lower class tech geeks with a band or brand tee (maybe an overworn prized possession like a 1980s Apple tee). The thing is, we willfully choose to look bland, to be not noticed.

tigeruppercut ( @tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip ) 4•2 months agoI feel like he’s just lamenting that the youth that are making things happen could make a statement with some distinct fashion. Style has always been important for him so I guess it’s somewhat complaint adjacent, but I get the feeling it’s less like “damn kids today!” and more like “it’d be better if it were this way”.
