Cyberculture?

We all know Techno,Trance and House. Then there's he dark genres of EBM,Industrial, and Elektro. But is this music or part of a culture. An article I read said goths are smarter than the average joe and are more likely to choose electronics for their job,business, or poetry. Ravers alot may not think are smart but they all use The Internet. They and I do many of the same things. Here I'm going to list the things that makeup our culture.

1.Electronics: Computers,PDAs,Ipods,clelphones

2.Art: Electronic Music, Digitized graphics,lighting(clubs,raves,concerts)

3.Mythology: UFOlogy,aliens,Sci-Fi Religions(Scientology,Raelians,Unarians,Jedi

4.Games: Videogames,interactive multimedia

5.Proffesions: Technological proffessions,engineering,science,mathematics

I don't know about #6 Fashion. This is cause we wear what we want. Being hat alot of Cyberpunks are goths,punks, and ravers I guess candykid wear, althletic apparell,,plaid, spikes,mohawks,dark clothings,rechcoats,wifebeaters, and combat boots.
Then there's the other aspect of the culture..#7 food. While there isn't any official I guess microwave food cause you cook it via electronics. Then there's fast food, not cooked electronicly but a cheap instant versionof all the world's foods. That's kinda like Electronics Music a digital version of all the world's existing music.
Then there's lingo. Ravers have their own language. Industrial goth doesn't that I know of but it takes from Metal-Rock which does.rave cultre is based around Hip Hop which has not only wear and art but language too. know alot of raver-goths listen to alot of other music and I sad they're based on other cultures. So that's 8.
The let's go to #9 state of mind. While many cyberpunks take drugs to alter thei state of mind most of them have the same philosophy. Be free, is that, they're liberals who rebel and don't care what they wear. Many are against corporations,rulers and organized religions. Just be yourself and let it flow is sorta the philosophy.
Then number 10. While many cyberpunks live in liberal cities like San Fransisco,Austin,Orlando,Seattle, ad New York I want to talk about an unseen territory. They conservatives and powers tha be may run this turf but cyberpunks have their own terrain....The Internet. Myspace,Facebook,forums, chatrooms,and websites. Yes we have our own cyberplanet.
Don't know if this is a good 11 but we even have our ownsexform....Cybersex.Don't know if anybody still does that though.
I say this since other enres like Hip Hop and Punk are recognize as cultures. 1-5 are certain there others are possible.

Cutting and pasting doesn't always leave a thread as you originally typed it.

it's all about painting your high street facade midsilver black, asking the shop owners to install neon lighting, and wishing it rained every damn day.

And noodles. They do great Singapore Noodles at my local. But the LCD TV is unviewable from most angles and they've installed furniture.
