This is fascinating. I'm always interested in how subgroups like this become so niche and specific (the dress code seems like it was very specific) and also how youthful self-expression (as a kind of anti-establishment thing) has changed over the years. I can't imagine any 17-20 year old dressing and acting this way nowadays, haha!
