A short-lived manifestation of this marginal foreign
style of the 70-s fell on the late 80-s, due to rallying of the radical
informal circles during face-off with the pressing and the new wave of real
outcasts, following the popularization of informal movements at the turn of
87-88 (right after a turning-point in street battles with “lyuberas” and
lowlife). It is worth noting that such manifestations in a caricature ironic
way were present on the expanses of our homeland when radical informal freaks
dressed up in proto-skinhead clothes, out of spite shaved their heads bald and
mobbed in crowded places, scaring militiamen and citizens, who were seriously taken
in by the Soviet propaganda that all the informal freaks are supposedly fascist
thugs. The hardmods of the late 80-s were the sublimation of punk, rockabilly
and military styles and since they’ve never heard their proper name in style
classification, they preferred the self-given names “streetfighters” and
“militarists”. In the first half of the 90-s with the first scooters came the
first hardmods, strictly sticking to the western street styling, but this was
totally different aesthetics than before.
