Loves lace and frilly things. Does not understand nutrition because 1800s science. Frail and weak. Doesn't brush teeth. Has the largest collection of steampunk mugs on Tumblr. Uses Windows 10.

A comparison meme contrasts a frail, awkward steampunk enthusiast with an exaggerated cyberpunk “Chad.” The joke comes from mocking steampunk stereotypes while presenting cyberpunk traits as hyper-masculine, technically skilled, drug-fueled, and absurdly hardcore, with references to Lain, Neuromancer, hacking culture, and cryptocurrency. It is sent as a reaction to glorify one subculture while playfully ridiculing another.
