It was a scene that had many names: some original members referred
to themselves as punks, others, new romantics, new wavers, the
bats, or the morbids. "Goth" did not gain lexical currency until
the late 1980s. But no matter what term was used, "postpunk"
encompasses all the incarnations of the 1980s alternative movement.
"Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace "is a visual and oral history of
the first decade of the scene. Featuring interviews with both the
performers and the audience to capture the community on and off
stage, the book places personal snapshots alongside professional
photography to reveal a unique range of fashions, bands, and
scenes.
A book about the music, the individual, and the creativity of a
worldwide community rather than theoretical definitions of a
subculture, "Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace" considers a subject
not often covered by academic books. Whether you were part of the
scene or are just fascinated by different modes of expression, this
book will transport you to another time and place.
