That's a lot of your own judgment you've layered on top of it.

For a more joyful interpretation of cybertruck aesthetics, do a image search for "cybertruck trick or treat". I volunteered to provide my truck for my kid's school Halloween party and decorated it to look like the chomp chomp monster from Mario. Kids loved it.

(sure it's not cyberpunk but it's an example of how the look can be used for family friendly innocent fun)

Aren't Chomp Chomps round? Wouldn't a less jagged vehicle be better for this?

Let's just say it's the N64 version where there were some polygons: https://mario64hacks.fandom.com/wiki/Chain_Chomp

Here's what another cybertruck did: https://www.cybertruckownersclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2024...

Did you have to put protective tape over the edges? How did you avoid kids getting cut?

The frunk area where kids reached into to grab candy has no sharp edges. There are sharper obtuse angled corners at the front corners of the truck that are exposed when the frunk is open. If a kid were to run into it at speed, it would cause the same injuries as if they ran into a standard door strike plate (metal, immovable, very similar sharpness and thickness) of which my house has ~20 of them at head height for a preschooler. If I were driving at road speeds with the frunk open and hit someone, yeah that would be a pretty serious injury.

I didn't put protective tape and no kids were injured :)

i dunno. i don't think the aesthetic exists in a vacuum and i certainly am not the first person to use those words to describe it (as a fan of the genre).
