Awww, that is so sad!!I hated them in high school because all the girls I liked, liked them instead.
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.SW MI Planner said:

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."Seabishop said:By the way were "hicks" and "guidos" 80's stylistic categories everywhere or was just a regional thing?
buzzards were the guys (and girls) dressed in denim from head to to, usually wearing workboots, that would hang out around the dumpsters sneaking in butts.SW MI Planner said:jocks I can figure out, but the hell is a buzzard (besides a big ugly bird)
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.NHPlanner said:

Any guesses as to the "type" that fit into the latter category?
Scissorfight's not bad....I've actually been meaning to go to one of their shows. I've only heard a couple of songs on WBCN and WGIR though....but I liked what I heard.Seabishop said:

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.
Certain Providence suburbs are still pretty guido - some in a more upscale, suburban way. E. Providence to New Bedford is where the Portuguese guidos are.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.
