Maligned misunderstood and fetishized the 1980's stands as the decade when post - modern life began in the west and London was at the epicenter of this shift. An explosion of creativity took place against a backdrop of radical social change. London became a city of tribes. The vast youth culture categories of the preceding decades shattered into shards. It was the decade that sub - culture as a way of life reached it's zenith before giving way to it's inevitable scene surfing conclusion. Ridgers documented this cultural moment obsessively. Punks post - punks cyber - punks gothic punks mods hard mods Trojan skins racist skins ska reggae dub early electronica synth pop acid house happy hardcore Blitz Kids New Romantics Hip - Hop Rap Electro Break Beat Techno Rave these were all sub - cultural spaces with scenes attached in London in the 1980 s. Unlike now subcultures in the 1980's were not casual playthings they were a way of life for their participants. They inspired profound loyalty. They were a beautiful a doomed flowering of the hope for a better world. Derek Ridger's exquisite street portrait photography has captured this creative decade beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: In The Eighties Portraits From Another Time\u003cbr\u003e\nBrand: Carpet Bombing Culture\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781908211569\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 160 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/1\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Photographs: Portraits","brand":"Carpet Bombing Culture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52428658278705,"sku":"IN-G-9781908211569","price":40.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781908211569.jpg?v=1769409243","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781908211569-in-the-eighties-portraits-from-another-time","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
