Is TheBlackFringe too emo for a username?

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Gladly I'm not too old to remember such teenage thrends, although the actual aren´t just the same. In my time was that whole punkish style, chains, army boots, you know, acting generaly stooopid

The general purpose remains the same: to just 'fit' amongst others in my city:

You don't know what you missed.

When I was preteen there were The bodgies (males) and the widgies (females). Like Marlon Brando in The Wild Ones IE: Q: "Just what are you rebelling AGAINST?" A:"Whadya got?"

In the the 1960's there were three identifiable youth sub- cultures:

Surfies: short natural or bleached blond hair, face always sunburned. Liked to surf,(or at least look as if they did) The Beach Boys,Jan & Dean and The Atlantics, getting pissed and rooting (having sexual congress with) girls, in that that order. Also enjoyed lighting their farts when bored.

Rockers: slicked back hair with ducktail. Black brothel creepers and stove pipe jeans,leather jackets with studs.Tattoos. Liked to ride motor bikes or look as if they did, Elvis, fighting and rooting girls,in that order.

Mods: Long hair, trying to look as much like George Harrison as possible, corduroy jackets,paisley ties, black Beatle boots. For casual; stovepipe jeans and Italian racing shoes.Liked rooting girls, The Beatles,The Stones and 127 other British bands,going to dances in their mod clobber and getting pissed,in that order.


Hippies were a sub group of mods,mostly university students and seen as spoiled middle class wankers.

Drugs did not become a significant part of youth subculture here until the 1970's.

Me and my mates were Mods.Sadly,our condoms [mostly] used to perish in our wallets.
