Steampunk's been around for years, overlapping with the goths.

Still plenty of goths about, plus all the little spooky kids!

i am willing to start a revival

'chavs, slags, hipsters, emo's
posh totties'

This is according to dd (15)

NB Please note SHE said chavs, not me, before I get a kicking

It did brighten my morning the other day to spot, for the first time in ages, a proper grebo, in cut off painted with a chapter's wings.

pointydog · 14/01/2011 22:33

don't forget the moshers

And those metally guys with the hair and the black and the air of dirtiness will always be about

2shoes · 14/01/2011 22:34

lots of goths about

cornslik · 14/01/2011 22:34

talking of goths, where is retiredgoth these days?

pointydog · 14/01/2011 22:36

she's got the black slippers of retirement on

cornslik · 14/01/2011 22:39

retiredgoth is a he isn't he?!

pointydog · 14/01/2011 22:44

he put on the black slippers of retirement and had a sex change.

Which means I had no idea she was a man.

Cyb · 14/01/2011 22:44

lol

cornslik · 14/01/2011 22:45

ohh-er!

moondog · 14/01/2011 22:45

steam punk??

Que??

cornslik · 14/01/2011 22:47

I know. Surely a punk is a punk. Anything elSe is braking the rules.

pointydog · 14/01/2011 22:49

pseudo-victorian sci-fi punk.

Would you credit it.

MrsChemist · 14/01/2011 22:51

I thought the moshers split into emos, goths and skaters in the end.

pointydog · 14/01/2011 22:58

I live in a backwater. They are still called moshers here.

MooMooFarm · 14/01/2011 23:05

I agree OP. I was talking to DS no.1 tonight about his grandad being a Teddy Boy in the 50's and what he used to wear (not that I'm old enough to remember!). That got us all talking about the fact that everyone looks the same now; teenagers wear much the same as their mums and grandmas sometimes - which is pretty boring IMO.

usualsuspect · 14/01/2011 23:06

Lots of goths and hipsters here

pointydog · 14/01/2011 23:08

I disagree that teenagers look like their mums and gradmas.

Cripes. Wjhere do you live? And wither the teenagers or the old folk are nutz.

catsinthebelfry · 14/01/2011 23:08

Well, music isn't what it used to be is it, for a start? In my day, you couldn't listen to punk if you weren't a punk, etc etc. Now (and this isn't a bad thing at all!) you can listen to what you like. FFS. Even old hippies like me are allowed to say that Take That's new album is really alright if you like that sort of thing. When I was 15 I'd have stuck pins in my eyes before admitting that.
