Guest REVILOT Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Dave You summed it up in the title of your post "Marketing W*nkers In Action" That is what it is. Fred Perry today rely on making punters to make them think that they have to wear Fred Perry to be credible or to be accepted. Their own website mentions mods, skins, punks etc and " authentic British street fashion" giving examples of Weller, etc. They obviously have heard of Northern Soul and want to make us real Northern Soul music lovers, and anyone who thinks they are, or anyone who pro-ports to be a Northern Soul fan feel that they should, or hopefully in their eyes have, to have a Fred Perry shirt to be a credible Northern Soul fan. That is wrong and what you wear is, as Mark put it - sod all to do with the music. More important is what you where, but more important still is what you are... As for Maark's post. I have always found "involuntary spasm of muscles of the pelvic floor" to be very comfortable and a sure sign of acceptance. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Amsterdam Russ Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) Being the charmer (or lecherous old twat) that I am, I asked her if she liked Northern Soul and she smiled and said "Oh Yahssss" so I told her I was one of the original DJ's from Wigan Casino but after that she looked blank...... Sorry Ian, but unintentional as it is, that's up there as one of the funniest things I've read on this site for a long time. I very much suspect that you were right in your second assumption! Put yourself in her shoes - and, if some old geezer came on to your 20-something daughter like that, what advice would you offer?

Billy Freemantle Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 What I was really getting at is the ill informed copy writer who has done scant research and comes up with the line 'Infamous' Twisted Wheel. when read as a whole it does yet again give the impression that northern soul grew out of drug fuled, crime ridden, origins. ... Just generally have a problem with the new breed cool media types, jumping on the band wagon and then getting the story wrong and re-writting history. Just a thought, but maybe their source for this is the All our Yesterdays section of this site: jolly tales of villainy, car theft, bovver and dodgy gear.

Whilst ageeing that the marketing angle of these "retro" shirts is flawed, I woukld disagree with what you wear has nowt to do with the music. I would say that from the 50's with the Teds, through the Mods, Rockers , Skins, Suedes, Greasers, Hippies, Punks, New Romantics etc the fashion you wore came-Mostly, from the type of music you were into. And, in almost every case, the look came from the streets and the clubs found it's way into the mainstream and was watered down for the plastic wannabees. Or has my memory gone again??

Geeselad Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Its all so off the peg for kids now, if its easy to access, it must be good, there's such a different mentality amongst most young people toaday than even my generation that grew into the scene in the 8TS. I think we were just so much more suspicious of the mainstream. Edited June 8, 2011 by geeselad Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
