Cyber Grunge

For other uses, see Cyber Grunge (Disambiguation).
Cyber Grunge is an aesthetic that combines Grunge and Cyber Y2K, sometimes with slight military influences, and is most prevalent in China and South Korea. It is characterized by bold silhouettes, utilitarian features, and an infusion of futuristic elements.
As a fashion it is largely based around the utilization of "subversive basics", or simple clothing with alternative or avant garde details such as cut-outs, mesh, and pockets. The influence of Y2K is also incredibly common in the style, with the accessories, prints, and silhouettes being from this era.

Cyber Grunge seamlessly blends elements of rebellion, urban edge, and a touch of Y2K nostalgia. The fashion style borrows from the concept of "subversive basics" and the preference for the earthy, muted color palette often associated with Grunge, including browns, greens, and greys. An utilization of layered androgynous clothing with a mix of oversized and distressed items are characteristic for Cyber Grunge. Wearing large headphones, goggles, or other futuristic accessories enhance the overall look.
