Alternate Footage of Viral Cybergoth Dance Party Video Emerges
Alternate footage of the viral Cybergoth Dance Party video has emerged online.
The original video was shared online on Sept. 7, 2011 and featured a group of German cybergoths breaking it down underneath an overpass. Clocking in at under three minutes, the clip went viral after other YouTubers remixed it with other music, making it appear as though the cybergoths were dancing to Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You," the theme song from Bill Nye the Science Guy and other popular tracks.

According to RebelsMarket, the cybergoth subculture formed in the early 2000s and features a combination of elements from the goth, industrial and rave genres. Sonically, cybergoths favor electronic and industrial-like music, and visually, they often wear futuristic outfits that mix black with bright, neon colors.
