A visual and oral history of the postpunk and goth movements of the 1980s. The book features interviews with performers and fans, capturing the community both on and off stage. Personal snapshots are placed alongside professional photography, revealing a unique range of fashions, bands, and scenes. Rather than providing theoretical definitions of a subculture, the book focuses on the music, the individual, and the creativity of a worldwide community. Whether readers were part of the scene or are just fascinated by different modes of expression, this book transports them to another time and place.
