The Sub Culture, ‘Ctber Goth’ was originally coined in 1988 by “The Game Workshop” for their game ‘DARK FUTURE’. Although the fashion style did not emerge fully in the UK until 1998. The style combines many elements from rave, rivethead and goth fashions. They draw a lot of inspiration from science fiction and it sometimes features one contrasting, strong neon-reactive colour scheme. For example reb, blue, neon green, pink and chrome. These colours are usually set against a stereotypical black ‘goth’ outfit. The black and monochromatic colour scheme takes many forms, from hair, to make up and clothing. Much of the subculture is centred around night life, i.e clubbing as well as the internet. Clubs that specialise in the ‘Cyber Goth’ scene are; ‘Slimelight’ – LONDON, ‘The Wendy House’ – LEEDS, ‘ Autonomy’ LEICESTER and ‘Nightmare’ – NOTTINGHAM.
