Synopsis

'It was the best of times, it was the worst of times'

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. No longer would the state look after you from cradle to grave - now it was every man for himself, greed is good and the markets are the hand of god.
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.
