Cyberpop

Cyberpop is a retro-futuristic style that first emerged in Japan during the 90s under the more generic name "cyber fashion" (サイバーファッション). It is characterized by some fantasy, a positive aura and a stylized clean outline, as opposed to Cyberpunk and Cybergoth, which is rather negative and dark (post-apocalyptic). 
==Fashion==
The key difference between Cybergoth and Cyberpop fashion is that the latter mainly focuses on bright colors. Cyberpop also contains more elements of Space Age in the usage of retro-future rings and shoulder puffs. The 1990s and early 2000's future fashion aesthetic found in Cybercore is also influential. The color palette is similar to the one used in the Raver aesthetic, but differs in that natural materials are never used. Both Raver and Cyberpop fashion makes use of neon colored UFO pants, both wide legged and draw string.

*Color accents are sometimes added with the help of hair color sprays and stencils in various simple shapes like stars, planets, and hearts

*Alien space ships, rocket ships, stars and shooting stars are common motifs for necklace wear
