Your social status hinging on the “generation” of dubs of a cassette copy is hard to fathom......but what a way to discover a band! Pretty cool you had an older brother to help bring you along, memories shared and never forgotten. |
yeah. Depeche mode fans were a proper massive subculture. In those grim grey days of socialism, there were few possibilities to escape:
- Punks were the 'wreckage of society' whom everyone loathed and police arrested them because it was a counterpoint to the normality,
- metalheads were laughed at and they had problems with police too because of their long hair
- but Depeche Mode fans had style and they didn't smell. So it was cool to be one.
