Yeah, but everyone who wanted to look like Neo had to decide if they wanted to look like the Columbine shooter too. I’m literally only talking about the kids that cosplayed as Neo every day. Even the cowboy kids in highschool second guessed their walker Texas ranger getups after Columbine.
His reasoning isn’t unfounded but incorrect. Those kids never even watched the matrix, the media made those connections. They planned to watch it the next day. At least according police reports gathered. His friend Dylan Klebold was interrogated.
Thats exactly why matrix cyberpunk never caught on, Columbine happened so soon after that the two events were cemented together by the media. Everyone who wore one afterwards had to deal with “uh oh school shooter!” comments. I personally knew three guys who wore one before, and well after too. By 2009ish it was weird. I worked with a guy as late as 2016 that wore one to work every day (well, two, but the other guy did it for cowboy reasons not edgelord reasons).
The guy in the picture might be just wearing a regular jacket, not a duster btw, and it’s brown not black. Those sunglasses were all over the late 90’s/early 2000’s too.
I rephrased this a few times, but basically Columbine happened and that was the end of that.
That explains why the never made any sequels.
Nah, they just made it a series.
No.

Your leg may really be broken, but that is not really your leg
The Matrix was hugely popular for many years after Columbine.

That happened before the Matrix didn’t it?
Looks like it was a month after, March and April 1999
The Matrix look went on for much longer, this guy is seven years later, so I reject the hypothesis tbh

Add to that, that the matrix was popular in more countries than the one that tragically had to suffer through columbine.

Ya, I had leather pelle pelle jacket but it just happen to be a duster. Everyone called me a school shooter.
