@TreborRhurbarb They were about as neo-Nazi as ABBA due to Anne-Frid's "tyskerbamas" heritage. The keyboardist expressed regret for his association back in 97. They were however really shit.
@offbeatorbit It's been the whole hipster era in microcosm: interesting thing becomes ok-that's-enough-of-that-now before you can blink. Completely apt really. Bring back gatekeeping.
@RVanderblight East London hipster started around '95: Blue Note, Bricklayers, Hoxton Fins, Japanese Denim, BAPE, Mo Wax. Yanks were mainly post-grunge, pop punk and plastic Puffy Hip Hop at this time. Beasties, FUCT, X-Girl, Zoo York etc were their early seeds.
@orbitalivory@offbeatorbit It ran many iterations from around '95 onwards over here. From the Hoxton Fin Evisu Evangelist to the Absinthe Alt Libertine Flaneur; Electroclash Extrovert to Beard Oil Barista. Ever evolving, always consuming. The final-phase shape-shifting hydra of post-war youth subcultures.
