I didn't say it was creepy.
I posted a definition of the word 'cult' earlier.
The problem with certain words is that they can be loaded.
On a different key.
The Ivy forum seems to take its reference points from the past. Take the Tech Ivy thread for example. Again this is just an observation.

Its kinda weird that you can go to ska nights these days and mix with skinheads and not end up rucking. I think the violence has got out of it these days. When I was a kid you rucked any one who was in a different subculture. You rucked anyone who was from a different estate, regardless of subculture. For me it peaked around 82/83. My mates were mainly casuals and we fought any one. Then you'd go up town and get into rows with casuals from other areas. I drifted into the casual thing towards the end of 83. TBH the clothes were better, I was never really "hardcore" with the football but got to know most of "the lads" that were. I think our generation was the first one that saw the end of rowing other estates. Everyone knew each other from the football. Riaz Khans book which I've spoke about elsewhere here covers this. I did get involved a few times with the footie and ended with two charges of violent disorder, I was already bound over for a year from an incident at QPR. Front page of the local rag as 16 of us got sent down. I got two years, out after 10 months on parole and that was that for me but really the end of the football culture came about due to the Rave scene. Suddenly you were getting off your nut with guys from Cov, Derby and Notts at places. It didn't always go without a ruck but it was rare when it did.
^I missed all of that, as the rave music didn't resonate with me, so I couldn't get into the groove.

I see plenty of skaters around in gangs, and the emos have their own places in town where they gather en masse.
They are by no means threatening to me, if I was a little old lady I might be unnerved.

Modern suburban America lacks the social ingredients that can foster real group solidarity. Everything is shallow and fleeting.
Hey Sammy, do you know Phil Saxe or Dennis Hawe?
Yeah, well done F! Shelley's. Lets get fucking mental! Think it'd kill these days though. Venus in Notts was pretty spank as well. That played a perfect mix of trance garage---

The tune that holds the most for me from those days is Nomad, Getting into the first Perception at Wisbech. After walking though a fun fair, getting up to the top of the steps they built at the entrance and seeing thousands grooving under that light show, already off it with Nomad playing on the stage...

I think the above is taken for granted. Most kids would probably be more upset to see their dad wearing weird clothes (e.g. anything decent).
