Tosh and Kimley discuss "Sweet Dreams: From Club Culture to Style
Culture, the Story of the New Romantics" by Dylan Jones. The 80s
are back! Whether or not this makes you cringe, it was nevertheless
an interesting era of Thatcherism, gender fluidity, rampant
consumerism, and a hugely creative group of young people looking to
conquer the world. This book goes well beyond the superficial
veneer of the big hair, the big shoulder pads, and the
hyper-stylized MTV videos. Jones gives us a seriously in-depth look
at the nucleus of the scene in England as well as contextualizing
it in the broader social and political sphere, not just in England
but throughout the world. No haircut is left unexamined!
