WILF 52,638 Posted February 22 Report Share Posted February 22 (edited) The 70s and 80s, and something you don’t see anymore is……youth culture ! There used to be: Mods Skinheads Punks Goths New Romantics Scooter Boys Mod-ism has had a bit of a revival amongst blokes of a certain age and old scooter boys just wont die, but you don’t have the same groups anymore Theres also a little pocket of Skinhead/Oi music going strong with bands like Booze & Glory but again it’s niche.

In the late 60’s, early 70’s I was a young, single mod without a care in the world; By the late 70’s I was married with kids and working in the Middle East bringing electricity to remote communities; The path of life takes many twists and turns…….

My 14 yr old daughter,has just started knocking about with a group of young Skinheads,there's about 20/25 of them in our little Town and surrounding villages,boys and girls....I honestly think they are cool as f**k,and it's great to see them dressed up,and watching all the Karen's,pointing and talking under their breath as they go about their days no fucks given 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There used to be: Mods Skinheads Punks Goths New Romantics Scooter Boys Not forgetting the metal heads with their filthy biker jackets.., or by the mid-80’s the football casual scene. Like you say there are little pockets of these things left but they’re usually people reliving their youth. Seen a few videos recently of some bloke singing some of the old ska/two-tone classics with guys and girls in their 60’s skanking away, good for them but it did look a bit ridiculous. Fella I work with is 63 and goes all over the country watching punk bands from back in the day.., or what’s left of them. I think the dance/indie/rave scene of the late 80’s early 90’s was the last real youth cultural thing.., or at least the last of any size and real significance. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 26,798 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 In the mid 60's I remember nearly getting sent home from school for wearing Winkle Pinker boots that I nagged and nagged my mother for Lol. Used to stuff tissue paper in the toes to stop them curling up. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
