Full prompt (copy & edit)

Style: dark-pop / cyber-grunge / rap music video with photoreal high-fashion polish and the texture of a scanned film magazine—high contrast without looking cheap. Reference late-1990s to early-2000s indie magazines, photocopies, film scans, underground-music posters, and zine collage. Use @image1 for surface texture and @image2 for the lead's identity.

Add coarse grain, subtle gate weave, halftone dots, rough print edges, and slight scan misregistration. Keep the edit fast and use hard cuts only—no fades or soft transitions. Match the typographic treatment and surface texture of the reference images.
