Rather than explain, I’ll start with an example.

I’m made of many different types of materials  
Sometimes you can see through me  
I require a key to pass through but not to pass out

What am I?

A two-fer!

Powers virtual are mine to command  
Moving large amounts of 1s and 0s is my game  
I am otherwise known as an old British fashion movement  
and people hate me for no reason

So could you please move this thread to MPSIMS? 🙂
