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.

That's a very arrogant statement, given you know nothing about anyone (lots of people involved in production of this) or ages/culture of people making it. Think before you post.
@Persephone715 I was into high-speed music before punk ever reached arizona. Led zeppelin communication break down, black sabbath, paranoid (a song in wh ch the Dickies covered) , Queen, sheer heart attack. Then when punk did come to az I was 19 living in phoenix and djing at a teen punk club At the club was new order, depeche mode, souxie and the banshees, the cure, etc. When not at the club we listened to black fl, germs, exploited, plasmatics, etc. Whether you had a Mohawk, rode a Vespa, or a skateboard we ALL called it punk and WE were all punks. My nic name is SKUM. I've had it since the episode of WKRP. So I might know at least a little bit?

I went to my 1st rave in Chicago at the end of '89. Made some life-long connections back in the day. For better or worse, the scene had evolved into something I didn't recognize w/in 4 yrs. It was great fun while it lasted. ❤
Much of these got their beginnings in the UK and Europe before making its way across to the US and Canadian the early 80s . Punk ,New Wave which as a whole in music as The British 2nd Wave in music Groups like Tears for Fears ,Thompson Twins ,OMD ,Spandau Ballet ,Duran Duran ,Human League ,Howard Jones ,and many others Dominated the Dance Clubs and Top 40 Pop Radio for much of the 1980s My late teens and Early 20s and I loved it all then and still love much of this music today . As this was the Soundtrack of my Youth ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Punk began in NYC in the mid 70s... there was a music scene rag that referred to the Ramones as Punk and that began the movement, I think the rag was called Punk if I'm not mistaken
No genre “started” in any one place. It was gradual degrees of separation inspired by groups all over until a genre becomes popular enough to be fully defined .
@@ericfogle4965 or the MC5... yes you're correct, but it was the magazine in NYC in 1976 that was called Punk and associated that name with the movement and thus began the Punk revolution...

Punk has become everything it fought against. Punk attitudes are dead, and the punks left are a bunch of conformist who can't think for themselves unless their peers do it first. Used to be cool, now they are pathetic.
It is very hard to pigeonhole so many bands shown in this video. The video got skinheads very wrong. They started in the late 60s. Siouxie Sioux and the Banshees moved through so many styles as did early The Cure. Punk, New Wave, New Romantic, Post-Punk, Goth. So many bands show periods cycling through some of these styles. Talking Heads, Joy Division. Continue the list below.
surprised there was no mention of glam metal during the mid-late 80's... it was everywhere; you couldn't get away from all of the aquar-net, no matter how hard you tried.
Yeah it helped end the era of hair metal with bands like Pretty Boy Floyd and Tigertailz that were more about image than substance. It's no wonder why people started listening to grunge, because it was real with real songs. Not horrible poppy sing songs
I started as a punk (went to see crass 2 weeks ago, so still love it) then got into mod revival (had 2 vespas) then goth then rave. Think i might have been greedy! Still like and listen to all the music today, discovering a new genre never detracted from my earlier loves, never understood people who stick to 1 style for eternity..
Unless you know something the rest of us don't you didn't see Crass 2 weeks ago, although you might have seen Steve Ignorant and his current band doing a Crass set.
@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism Thrash Metal had it own sound and fashion style and Thrash gigs. It had huge impact on youth culture of the 80's. So yes it is part of Metal scene but same time it has it own identity. Here is analogy with Hardcore Punk.
@@mrnordyk1125 Those who listened to thrash, were into heavy metal. We didn't see them as divided back then. You were just a metalhead, listening to it all.

I think they are mainly talking about subcultures that were around in the 80s rather than started in the 80s. The are 10 years out on skinheads though.
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.
Hardcore belonged to all groups. There were always those who took the movement just a bit further. Hardcore metal, hardcore rap (aka gangsta rap or rap metal) and hardcore punks.

God; so what is it. a) Am I just old? b) is the younger generation 'that' blinkered that the 'punk', 'goth' 'break dancing' is actually forgotten; c) is this just a click bait title/these subculture are actually not at all forgotten?
How could you forget hip-hop and house music? Like punk hip hop started in the late 70s and grew in the 80s. Raves wouldn't have existed without house music which exploded in the early/mid 80s.
If there was a drinking game where you had to take a shot every time you hear a factual error, everyone who watched this video would die. I mean, come on this is just embarrassing.
