You can get all general and say "Punk" or "Hippie" or "Grunge"

but whats fun is when you disect past pop culture and dive deep into the trends and uniqueness of different time periods.

For instance:
A widely ignored movement in the '90s is lo-fi, and Brit-Pop, Nirvana & followers overshadowed it. But I personally love the honest DIY four-track-recorded awesome-ness that if the lo-fi movement. And the crazy good acceptable pop that came out of the UK, Oasis, Blur, Ash. You got to love that stuff.

What do you like?

Mod (from modernist) is a subculture that originated in London, England in the late 1950s and peaked in the early-to-mid 1960s.[1][2][3]

Significant elements of the mod subculture include: fashion (often tailor-made suits); pop music, including African American soul, Jamaican ska, and British beat music and R&B; and Italian motor scooters. The original mod scene was also associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs.[4] From the mid-to-late 1960s onwards, the mass media often used the term mod in a wider sense to describe anything that was believed to be popular, fashionable or modern.

There was a mod revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, which was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in Southern California.[5][6]


That was my obsession over the summer :3
