Best Practices

• •Develop a "Voice Guide" Inspired by the Manifesto: Document key tonal words (e.g., "shadow," "rebel," "cyber," "dystopian," "declaration," "weapon," "glow," "grit"), approved terminology related to the cyberpunk/techwear aesthetic, and phrases to avoid (e.g., overly cheerful, mainstream, or casual language). This ensures anyone writing copy understands the core essence.
• •Immerse in the Source Material: Continuously draw inspiration from cyberpunk literature, films, art, and music. This helps keep the language authentic and resonant with the target audience. The "TechNoir" name itself evokes the film *Terminator* and the broader tech-noir genre.
• •Prioritize Evocative Language over Plain Description: Instead of just saying "black t-shirt," use phrases like "a t-shirt forged in the monochrome heart of the metropolis." Focus on imagery and feeling.
• •Maintain a "We vs. Them" Subtext (Subtly): The tone often implies an "us" (the individuals, the rebels, those who understand) versus "them" (the system, the conformity, the mundane). Copy should empower the customer as part of this exclusive, knowing group.
• •Consistency Across All Touchpoints: Ensure the tone is uniform across the website, product descriptions, any (future) social media, email marketing, and even customer service interactions. Every piece of communication should feel like it's coming from the same distinct entity.

Social Perception

Likely perceived by the target audience as authentic, edgy, and a provider of niche apparel allowing them to express their identity. Appreciated for its strong thematic consistency. Might be seen as very niche, dark, or intimidating by the general public unfamiliar with the subculture.
