omg! just choked on my tea. i had the biggest crush in highschool on a boy with a jean jacket who always wore his favorite anthrax t!Seabishop said:
I thought it was sad too until I realized hey maybe the girls who like NKOTB won't realistically go for my jean jacket, bushy mullet and Anthrax t-shirt look.
By the way were "hicks" and "guidos" 80's stylistic categories everywhere or was just a regional thing?
Nope, definately not regional, but maybe the terms would have been different. We didn't have guido's, but had the preps, nerds, and stoners/burnouts.....I thought it was sad too until I realized hey maybe the girls who like NKOTB won't realistically go for my jean jacket, bushy mullet and Anthrax t-shirt look.

I think it was kind of regional. I remember a bit of that growing up in the 80's in NH....of course the "characterization" I still remember vividly was "jocks" and "buzzards."
Any guesses as to the "type" that fit into the latter category?

Have you ever heard that song "Blizzards, Buzzards, and Bastards" by that band Scissorfight from NH? I think they have another song called "NH is Alright for Fighting." I guess Buzzards is a NH thing, I don't know what it means - maybe its the stoners who got buzzed on glue or something.
I never knew the Anthrax look was so popular with the ladies. My problem was I that I was an inner-city "hick," I always wanted to move to the suburbs where I could hang out in front of the 7-11 and feel more at home.
Dan said:You still see guidos in Buffalo, too. A local urban legend has it that the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo still sells for sticker or higher in the area, because of the high demand from guido buyers. Chess King, GM F-body cars, Kiss 98, Mickey Rats ... that subculture is still going strong in Buffalo.
