It didn't last long, but it cast a long shadow through bands inspired by it like Metallica and Anthrax. A good time was had by all!

    The kids, young adults, college students and art school geeks that were part of the 80s underground/indie/college radio scene were all about The Cure, Butthole Surfers, Minor Threat, R.E.M., Echo and the Bunnymen, Skinny Puppy, Depeche Mode and Sonic Youth. We pretty much ignored the small scene that was coming from the Pacific Northwest. As the 80s wore on, bands were breaking up. The Clash, Black Flag, Husker Du, The Smiths and The Replacements. And bands like Pixies, Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie and the Banshees, New Order and Dinosaur Jr. were imploding behind the scenes. The tastemakers at Sub Pop Records back in Seattle saw an opportunity to push their brand of punk/metal on to unsuspecting pre-teen metal kids. Overnight, alternative music was hijacked by grunge. The mainstream cash grab era had begun. Turning it into a punchline for the rest of the 90s, retrospectively. The indie side held on through the 90s and re-established itself with the garage rock/post punk revival in the 2000s. Real alternative music became indie again (White Stripes, The Strokes, Arcade Fire, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol, Artic Monkeys, Tame Impala, MGMT). Poser music like emo, nu metal, butt rock and the aftermath of artists like Imagine Dragons, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, All American Rejects and MGK are what the mainstream was left with.

    A couple of tips:
    1: Before embarking on a project as generalised as an overview of largely British originated subcultural youth tribes of the post War decades, get a dictionary.
    2: Look up the definition of the word 'research'.
    3: Do some.
    4: While you've still got the dictionary, also look up the meaning of the word 'forgotten'. (Hint: it means 'remembered by very few people, if any', like 'Shoegazing' or 'Greebo'; it certainly doesn't cover 'Metal', 'Punk' or 'New Romantics')
    Just a word to the wise.

    Years later I would chase and bother the goth girls but not be able to befriend them. 😂
    By 1990, at 20 I was part of it without actually being officially accepted by any group. By the way were gangs and gangster rap subcultures? Glad to have never been interested in joining but like the music, NWA, Ice T. 😂
