Throughout the past century, some of the major sub-culture movements rebelling against society gave birth to a few of fashion’s most major scenes and trends. As holds true with most movements, the beginning often worked around the birth of a new genre of music to tell the story of the people who no longer identified with the prominent culture surrounding them.

eager to add a "professional" accessory
to my vintage, seven-year-old appearance.
