Merry Christmas To you all and the MODS.

As the first moderator coming back after the Christmas break, thank you Major Malfunction on behalf of all of us! :)

A belated Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the community members!

Thanks,

Yes, and to the Rockers too  

*Chuckle*

I have a pair of sta-pressed trousers and a couple of Modish looking jumpers. I used to have a Bowlcut when I was younger also.  Made me look a bit 60's.

Punk essentially morphed into Hardcore by the 80's. Hardcore continues to this day.  It developed subgenres and it also fused with other genres.  There's some interesting fusion genres involving Hardcore and Metal that I was listening to for a bit earlier this year.

I used to have quite an interest in the aesthetics of Mod and its music. I still do to a certain extent. Altho never a fan of The Who!

Belonging to a subculture took effort. Now you just buy it and discard it at the swipe of a screen.

Interesting. I've never heard of this. 

I'm currently doing a Futurelearn course with the University of Reading about Punk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_edge.  Another subculture that I have been reading about.
