Cyber (subculture)


This one is a little less visible than either the Hipster or the Emo kid, and you aren't likely to find any Cybers hanging around campus. A Cyberkid hangs out at trance clubs and listens to hardcore electronica. If you're at a rave or a hard dance club, then you're likely to be surrounded by Cyberkids. As you might guess, many of them are also interested in technology, existing and new. Wikipedia tells us that Cybers are also interested in things like hackers, artificial intelligence, and depictions of a dystopian future and these are common themes in the music they listen to. This group is still relatively small and definitely not mainstream, but you can still find them in certain clubs throughout Canada and the UK. So far, this subculture has only been found in small patches in the United States. The clothes androgynous, industrial, robotic and include a lot of neon and glow-in-the-dark plastic hair.

So if you're a lonely Cyber in Ottawa, having found no club that caters to your needs you can head to The Savage Garden Nightclub in Toronto or Les Foufounes Électriques in Montreal...
