The word “informals” often brings to mind the gloomy goths or freaky punks from the odious year 2007. However, in fact, informal culture originated in the USSR. And in the distant forties. However, the peak of its spread occurred in the 80s and 90s, when a considerable part of students considered themselves hippies or rockers. And everyone had their own special style of clothing. We will talk about them today.
World peace
In the early 80s, the hippie movement, advocating a frivolous life, swept the planet. They could be recognized by their colorful clothes, extravagant natural patterns and equally bright neckerchiefs.
Among punks, torn clothes were not a cruel reality of the nineties, but their own special style. Often they deliberately damaged jackets and jeans. Instead of patches, informals used patches of their favorite bands. In addition, punks were distinguished by their hairstyle - a bright mohawk or a hedgehog sticking out with needles. And both girls and boys wore makeup. The latter most often highlighted only the eyes.

“In the early 1980s, the free-living hippie movement swept the planet.” Author, learn the hardware and don’t write this nonsense.
Nonsense
Author, you have no idea about those times. In the 90s, “anything is possible,” and pretentious, elegant rockers and metalheads, and other informals faded away and practically disappeared. Bikers remained and still remain in more or less significant numbers.
The motorcyclists in the photos are foreigners. We had mostly Javas, less often Chesets, Izhi, Urals. Almost no one wore helmets. Only a few had leather jackets; the majority dressed in telagas and kerzachis in spring and autumn. At least that was the case in the late 80s and early 90s. The main party in Moscow in those days was in Luzha...
Rave!!! Everything is mixed up, the 80s with the 70s, the 50s with the 90s.
We are still alive - informals of those years! Why write about us as Polovtsians and Pechenegs?
Irina, they made me laugh, however)) But yes, it’s true.
Author, do not mislead people, I beg you, learn the math part. The nonsense that has been written is utter nonsense.
Indeed, Idiocracy. It's creepy.
both of them were painted...
Is the author about 15 years old or something?
