What's your youth cult?

[Alf W]

I recently found a photo of myself taken shortly after leaving school which made the wife collapse into hysterics. I was at the prime of my 80s rocker stage all kitted out in Red/Black striped jeans, big Def-Leppard hair and leather jacket / denim waistcoat combo.

Bad as this is, I remember a mate of mine's wedding when the best man produced a picture of him about 13 years old in his full New Romantic get-up.

So which youth cult stereotype did you all go for to show your individuality, why and what elements are you still into? Obviously we've already touched on the goth / dungeons and dragons / DBA brigade in previous threads.

Wonder what ever happened to my studded wrist band?

Rudeboy... Black shirt, white tie, grey 'stay press' trousers which were 2 inches too short, white socks and shiny brogues with the obligatory steel heal tip.

I was a very cool 13 year old.

It has it's own web site now which just feels wrong. Bought my first stash tin from there.

I was really into the 1950's scene - used to wear the clothes/listen to the music and take my '56 Vauxhall Velox on the Chelsea Cruise every month.

Too young for punk, too old for the late 80s bollocks.

No wonder no-one missed me when I withdrew to become a full-blown computer geek. I was born Mr Invisible. At least no-one can steal my identity, I haven't got one.
