There are all kinds of places where people find their style inspiration but, until pretty recently, video games probably wouldn’t have been one of them. It used to be that gaming was seen as part of the ‘nerd’ subculture, but in recent years gaming has taken off hugely amongst almost all groups.
It could be that computing capabilities have become so much better that the quality of games is almost too high to resist, or it could simply be that video gaming has been around for so much longer now that it has become the norm. Whatever the reason for the higher number of gamers nowadays, one thing we can totally get behind is the influence that this has had on style.

He wore maybe the baggiest clothes in the whole game, round-toed skate shoes and a perpetual jauntily angled baseball cap. Accessorize with a basic backpack, worn with the straps way too long and some shades, and you’d got the skateboarder that everybody wanted to be. Of course, there were a plethora of skaters to choose from in this game, but it really did seem that Muska had more of an influence on style than his peers might have done.
