Is this really any different from the New Romantics of the early 1980s (for example)?https://twitter.com/stonewalluk/status/1150329084695797760 …

Partly because the UK is so small, I think the relationship between fans and performers has always been more intimate than the US. You can get from one end of the country to the other in a matter of hours.
I grew up in London in the late-1970s/early-1980s, but different sort of music. Prog rock & then prog rock revival. So missed out on a lot of the popular culture stuff.

I was a punk then a goth in the Eighties. There were still a few teddy boys around then, and skinheads used to hang around reggae clubs with their Black friends.

Ha! Remember the Tim Roth character in Made In Britain (the film), with his black mate? I was attacked by a bunch of skinheads in Liverpool Street Station because I'd been on an Anti-Nazi League thing, and they were waiting targeting naive fools like what I was!

This is England wasn’t far off. I was more punk at the time we’d usually end up in a largely Black club because it was open till about 4am. Plenty of skins. Not that some weren’t openly racist; more towards Asians though.
