I was talking to a colleague 10 years my junior in the pub the other day and after a while the topic moved, half drunkenly on to what cool stuff you did as a student.
As a student I went to clubs like the Hacienda, Soak and bands like the Happy mondays and Stone Roses were in their heyday. He said that he wished he'd been around to experience that period. I often wonder what it would have been like to be round in the punk era.
Does each generation grow up envying the previous ones defining genres?
What was the coolest youth culture era of the 20th century?
Are there any around at the moment that will define the first decade of the 21st century, I have to wonder when I look at hispters, but thats probably me getting old I accept...?
