   I don't talk fashion here often, but it's one of those interests of mine that is both latent and very rarely explored.

   (You know those interests of your's that you have both neither the time nor the money to pour into them? So you enjoy the topic when it's brought up but don't have deep involvement. Anyhoo!)

   The quoted post is about popculture depictions of the aesthetics of hacking in the 90's as seen through a very 90's hacking movie.

   "Hackers" is not an accurate depiction of hacking.

   "Hackers" is an accurate depiction of how hacking felt.

   It is an "artistic depiction" of hacking.

   I spent my highschool years hacking along the border of Texas and Mexico. My clothes were very typical of a highschooler then. T-shirt with edgy saying, under an unbuttoned short sleeve button-up "overshirt" on top of relaxed-fit to loose-fit jeans and tennis shoes.

   I thought of the clothes in the movie "Hackers" as avant-garde and the type of thing you would only see in NYC proper (I had only experienced New York through movies) or the type of thing you would (separately in my mind) see in movies.

   It was very punk and very hacker to me.

   This was also the time that The Matrix came out. Another - albeit from the complete opposite end - depiction of Hacker culture and aesthetics.

   Neither looked good in real life 😂 but they lookef amazing in our minds.

   1/3

   I know, this was a cheap joke.

   It's important to remember that the mythology around Chuck Norris began as a parody of the ridiculous characters he played and the bad writing on his shows and movies.

   It's also important to remember that Norris was a raging right wing Christian, homophobe, and racist who thought that Obama's election would usher in a millennium of darkness. He publicly shilled for Republicans, and rode right along as they pivoted to MAGA.

   He will not be missed.
