It was revealed recently that treeve was a teddy boy in his youth, and it got me wondering to what other youth cults did members belong to? Any old mods or rockers out there? I'm sure there must be a few ex punks! Or how about Goths? I guess the list is pretty big - you could always find one group that fitted your rebellious needs.
I went to art School in London late 70's and it was pretty tribal up there - you'd go and see different bands and the different tribes would all come out of the woodwork. One night went to see Motorhead in Hammersmith and the whole area was full of bikes, leather and denim jackets. And then at the end of the evening they'd all fade away into the night. Other nights, different venues, it would be wall to wall Hammer House of Horror(!) - sales of mascara and black clothes must have gone through the roof during that period!
Seems today that the youth are at one end of the spectrum or the other. Either very bland or gun carrying, knife wielding hoodies - or perhaps that's just me in old b*gger mode! Or perhaps I'm now too old to notice any subtle differences in the middle ground.
