A brief history of cosplay, explained in 5 historical conventions

Have to listen in a bit. Does it go over where the term came from? I don’t think I heard it until mid 2000s.

I didn’t get to a lot of cons as a kid, but being part of Star Fleet I did goto some Star Trek conventions locally. People were in uniforms there. I spent too much money on comics and stuff to buy me a proper uniform, but I do have a communicator badge around here some where.
