The focus on David’s talk was based on margins vs mainstream. The word spread in the late 1970’s / early 1980’s creating an underground network of all kinds of art forms (concentrating on music and fashion) that rebelled against the norm. Hassalam goes on to say the marginal became mainstream, which led to other groups to go off and create their own interpretations of music, fashion, art and so on until the vicious circle reoccurred over and over again.
My main point to consider is in 21st century mainstream has absorbed most of the originality of things and makes me question now is anything original????
The margins are now the mainstream with high-street shops selling the shirts of independent bands such as; The Pixies, The Smiths, Joy Division, Sonic Youth and so on are now all being sold on t-shirts to the mainstream where a large percentage will not know or care who they are. Now the mainstream has added all factors of what was once original and manufactured it into a watered down profitable style to be sold on the high-street.
(If you liked David's talk check out John Robb -bassist and vocals for post punk band The Membranes also is a a music journalist who claims to be first to ever inteview Kurt Cobein of Nivarna)
