1990’s Subcultures

Cyber goth • Borden indicates that initially the hair extensions and bright fishnets did not mesh well with goth fashion, but that by 2002 "the rave elements of dress were replaced by Industrial-influenced accessories, such as goggles, reflective clothing, and mostly black clothing. ” • The most common use of a theme color is in the hair or eye makeup. Artificial, extended hair or “falls” are sometimes used to create this added effect. Falls can be made of various materials, ranging from yarn to fluorescent tubing to electrical wiring.

Rivethead • The original Rivethead subculture (late-1980 s to mid-1990 s) was different from goth in ideological and musical terms, as well as in their visual aesthetics. • Confusion regarding the boundaries of those two youth cultures has heightened because of the late-1990 s “multi-youth-cultural” cross-hybridization, which has led people to believe that Rivetheads are an offshoot of the Gothic subculture or identical to recent trends such as the rave fashion and trance music. • Women involved in the Industrial scene wore less makeup, particularly less elaborate eye makeup. They also adopted a much more traditional Punk look, with shorter skirts, made of leather or vinyl, and combat boots. Because of the athletics required of Industrial dancing, it was rare to see women in this scene with spike heels, as it would constrain their movement on the dance floor. The male Industrial style also was much closer to Punk, with men wearing shorts, big boots and adopting partially shaved hairstyles.
