Once Were Heroes!
This  little walk down memory lane will charm the stovepipe pants off anyone who grew up between 1950 and 1990. Dedicated to British youth culture, the tribute revisits music-inspired fashion trends and lifestyles of 20th-century teens. The styles are all lovingly categorized here -- from the original '50s teddy boys with their mile-high coiffures to the '70s punks and their mohawks to '80s goths and their dyed-black tresses. Trace the entwined development of the mod, scooterist, northern soul, skinhead, and rude boy. Reminisce about the new romantics -- "Great days, whatever Simon LeBon was doing, we copied." Even if you don't fit in with any one crowd (or if your scene isn't covered yet), check out the general comments page for more fun flashbacks. Ah, kids today, they just don't understand.
