It was Mods and Rockers, then Glam and Punk, and in my day it was Alternatives, New Romantics or Trendies and now pre-teens are 'aspiring' to become and , or so it would seem.
My 11 year old is one for the sports labels. He actually said he wanted to be a Chav. I thought that was a derogatory term that stood for 'council housed and violent', but he and his peers reckon the Chav look is good!
And then Lorna got in touch which puts my son's comments into perspective: "Chavs and Goths are taking over and normal people can't be accepted unless they're on one of the sides."
Did you identify with a group when you were growing up and what made you sign up? Before my Alternative phase I went for the , Miami Vice look, complete with suit - sleeves rolled up, of course - and shoes with no socks. My father was so embarrassed with my fashion disasters. Now I can see what he meant!
