Oh forgot the bit about what got me into it - was essentially the trend at the time of my musical awakening and I liked the associated fashion and ethos so just happened naturally

I went through an awful emo phase - too tight MCR t-shirts, those studded belts and fishnet tights and Dr Martens and a fringe that took up half my face with a heavily eyelined eye just about visible.

A girl started it. Well, trying to impress/fit in with her.

It worked, we dated for a few months.

This was totally my friend scene, but I always stuck closer to the Tom Delonge, skater look myself, as opposed to full eyeliner and skinny jeans, but this was mainly because skinnies weren't functional for skaters, and I didn't look androgynous enough to pull off makeup. Haha

Rocker. Or "heavy metallist" as some of the media labelled it in the 80s.

I don’t really know why I got started in that but I suspect an element of adolescent peer dynamics, aside from loving the music. Also I was totally into the faux-satanic thing of bands like Sabbath, Maiden, Venom etc.

What's "scally?"

Guess it's life history time;

I was listening to grunge through school, being the cliché bullied kid pretty much all the way through my education.

My first boss got me into a bunch of first wave, stateside, and uk82 punk. So bottled up angst, and having a job from sixteen, therefore money, I was turning punk when I was eighteen. A little important place called le phonographique in Leeds pretty much broke me, I'm conjunction with mtvs rock shows. I got into placebo, so I mixed glam into the look too (to be honest, I probably looked a right state).

Slowly metal crept in, and I ended up swapping out punk for thrash, sludge, industrial, and nu metal. I bummed around that scene for a good few years, but it got stale, mainly due to the same songs being played in every club.

I did a bit of raving from around the age of twenty four, till I was thirty. it was fun running around with dayglo on, though the few days after were always ropey.

Eventually, the comedowns were too much and I jacked that in and just kinds milled around for a while. Then I started downloading music, after years of refusal, and ended up getting back into metal, much harder than before. it's been nine years now, and I've thrown myself right in there, and gone down the extreme route. Lots of Doom, death, black, grindcore, drone, sludge, among others. I don't think I am escaping this time, and I don't think I want to

I was into heavy metal as they call it, to me it was just rock, it stared with glam rock and especially Sweet when I was younger and by the time I hit my teens it was Meatloaf, Black Sabbath, AC/DC etc, I swear if I was born a few decades earlier I would of been a hippy

Born and early years raised in Coventry, Two tone, Hazel o'connor, great music just an awful time with all the hatred in the city.

I still believe The Specials did so much to ease tensions and unite people and deserve some recognition for this, They achieved more than the politicians during this period for racial harmony.

Given the sheer amount of trends, this almost always falls into its own category, or is so different that it just becomes contrarian. Fair lay to you if you managed to be that original.

Wasn't just The Specials though, The Selecter, The Beat, UB40 and to a lesser extent Madness all helped ease things - in fact just last week I had a conversation with Dave Wakeling (The Beat) in which we talked about how a lot of that music has come to have a relevance again today with some of the tensions that are bubbling under and being propagated by the likes of EDL, Britain First etc.

wasn't just the specials. It was the whole ska movement. would never have called myself a skinhead as the negative connotations were horrible (even if not 100% correct)
