Punk definitely my era , love the pistols, the clash , the damned, uk subs, buzzcocks, Sham 69 , but also like madness and the specials. Great times great music.

That's my Dad in the main skinhead photo. Taken in Carnaby Street in 1969

We need another depth charge to blow our youth compliance apart. Still a punk at 57!

My dad was a Teddy Boy and a rebel character. I was once a Skinhead. Then I got into the 88-93 rave scene. I'm the blood of a Rebel, I became a rebel. Now my life is quite sensible, but I'm still a rebel in heart. Once a rebel, always a rebel!! Never conform to the mundane shit in life, be yourself!!

I was a second generation Ted from 1969 onwards. I had my drape suits made to measure at Burtons, when it was a proper mens tailor. Got married in 1974 in one of my drape suits.

I was in my teens in the 80's pretty much. I was basically a New Romantic, heavily into bands like Ultravox and Visage and the like. But I still got on pretty well with the Goths cause I knew who Siouxsie and the Banshees were and so on, the Rockers cause I knew who The Stray Cats were. The Punks cause I knew who The Pistols were, you get the idea. I liked some of the music from just about every subculture so I had friends in pretty much all the subcultures.

Whatever your music , whatever your generation, peace be with you...

1976-85

“I don't know what's worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you've always wanted to be, and feel alone.”

Its all about being a teenager and rebellion through the ages

I did a long trip around America in mid 80’s,and stayed on University campus (cheap accommodation) I went to the bookshops to see what Americans were reading and in every single town the shelves were full of books about English street culture. They clearly found it fascinating,and I was constantly asked about it everywhere I went. Made me proud to be half English

I was a Teddy boy in the big Rock n' Roll revival in the 80's. Burtons tailors even used to MAKE drape suits from scratch so I had 2 made! You could go in and chose the cloth took about a week. PLus the 'brothel creeper' cblue suede shoes!! Stragely I went from there to a rocker riding with a big crew of bikers!

The 80s were great different music cultures,to identify with,now everything is almost the same sterile crap.
