Annoying Teenage Terminology

[LoginNotSecure]

It's super odd to me how skateboarding turned from something that was looked down upon to something viewed as "cool". I'm 26, and for my entire life skateboarders have been like the male equivalent of goth girls, an aesthetic/pattern of lifestyle that used to be shit on a few decades ago but nowadays people respect the way they do other subcultures and the sort.

I don’t know how anyone can hate on a big titty goth girl.

Well I've always had a fetish for goth (and punk) girls from the first time I ever saw them. I think in the UK, teenage subcultures have been kind of tolerated since their first emergence around the 1960s. Although there has always been clashes between rival factions, mods vs rockers, chavs vs goths etc.

Although one subculture that got Margaret Thatcher and the police very hot under the collar was the 'new age traveller' movement which had become pretty huge in the UK by the mid to late 80s. Cue time to send in hundreds of riot police to smash up all their vehicles and their male and femail occupants alike, hoping to prevent them continuing to live their free lives on the road.

I kind of mourn the apparent demise of teenage subcultures and subcultures in general. Everything just seems homogenous now. Either that or everyone is an individual, and not part of any subculture.
