This entire 'electroclash' revival seems like an
older person's version of being a raver. Though the
electroclash style doesn't require the baggy pants and
glowsticks, the electro version does require a

Fashion has been intimately tied to almost every subculture in this
century, from Rude Boys to Mods to New Romantics to Old School Hip Hop. It
is a way of differentiating the us from the them. Books like Dick
