I still maintain that this is a good thread.
It just gets crap when people try to personally talk about me...
It's something you'll all have to grow out of. Like sucking your thumbs.
I'm going up in an Air Balloon later today, even though the weather is against it...

Being immortal, I'll be back no matter what -

Just as the thread was getting interesting as well. Why don't you ponce another score of the missus, grab your army coat and fuck off down your local, you flake, what?
That Nimble ad is where they filmed 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland. One of my favourite Bond films.
Not much youth culture there nowadays I guess, but some nifty skiwear back in the day. Proto-casuals lol
some light relief

Jolly good !
My Son (22) reported that in his youth a herd mentality was not considered 'cool'. Others will have to work out the years of his teenagerhood and tell me what was going on then.
My Daughter (12) informed that there are 'some idiots who all dress the same' and that they are 'avoided by the rest'.
My other Daughter (2) expressed a need to have a nap and my other Son (15) was unavailable for comment.
(I'm actually Son, 22, but as I'm writing like 'Jim' you'll have to excuse the authorial conceit)
You could also say,
subcultures don't exist now.
Adherents to certain styles just like to dress up like those who were in a subculture in years gone by.

Teds weren't around as early as 1950 were they? A little later into the decade is what I thought.

I think we need to take a stab at defining what a youth sub-culture is. What are its constituent parts and are they shared from one group to the next, or is every group self-contained.
For example, there isn't any particular genre of music connected to the casual movement.
Most casuals in London and the south-east were into soul and jazz funk of the time. But not all.
