While the term 'Cybergoth' was coined in 1988 in the United Kingdom, by Games Workshop, for their roleplaying game Dark Future,[1] the fashion style did not emerge until a decade later. Valerie Steele quotes Julia Borden, who defines cybergoth as combining elements of industrial aesthetics with a style associated with "Gravers" (Gothic ravers).[2] Gravers hybridized "the British Raver look and the NYC ClubKid look with a 'freak show' spin."[2] This fusion between New York and London styles began in 1999.[2] Borden indicates that initially the hair extensions and bright fishnets did not mesh well with goth fashion, but that by 2002 "the rave elements of dress were replaced by Industrial-influenced accessories, such as goggles, reflective clothing, and mostly black clothing."

Adding to that wiki-note is that there's also varied inspirations from Japanese culture (and vice-versa), comic books, movies, cyberpunk fashion/novels/etc., and even a little bit of LOL POP MUSIC.
So sadly, yes, to some level much love to Britney Spears and the like for the "modern" cybergothic.

I've heard that David Bowie somewhat started it. Of course that's just me being on Wikipedia too much.

I'll be honest and say I've never listened to David Bowie...but some of the pics I've seen kind of look like a precursor... I think that a lot of the 80's punk and early EBM stuff had the most influence...although this may seem out there I think Billy Idol may have had a large part. He did release an album called Cyberpunk (my favorite of his music).

Also, I wouldn't call it Cybergoth culture. Cybergoths are generally a slightly more colorful and happier version of the rivethead (which I am). And being a rivethead is like being the b*****d child of Punk and Goth.
Industrial music started when Throbbing Gristle started their own record label called Industrial Records.
