Most millenials cannot believe that Indie Sleaze is making a comeback, but how can it do better this time around? And is it worth reviving? Sources: www.dazeddigit... www.lofficielu... www.vice.com/e... gal-dem.com/wh...

In my mind 2007-2010 indie sleaze is different than the remnants of what existed of it 2011-2013

Can’t believe how we dressed when I was a teen is already being repackaged as indie sleaze. I’m only 26 and honestly don’t feel like much has changed

The trend cycles are getting faster and faster, but it just means if we hold on to what we love, it'll be back in fashion before too long.

Really?? I'm 25 and I feel like it's hella different. Like, the kids/teens get all their stuff from solely tiktok it seems. for us, tumblr-insta- and even still myspace for our elementary days if you were allowed on there. i feel like 24-27 yr olds are that weird zillenial bunch so its weird. but, I feel like the eras we experienced and how long & the way we consumed them were vastly different to those 18 and under. it feels soo different the fashion, just everything imo.

Enjoyed the video. I remember indie sleaze was endemic mainly to london/nyc and club scene culture. Subculturally there was also a '00 DIY house show scene (noise-rock, posthardcore, electro-rock, Spockmorgue, 31G or the faint/hothotheat-sounding bands, or in UK Artrocker Magazine/Brighton's 20jazzfunkgreats blog) of 70s thrift, ironic T's, white belts, stripes, spock haircuts, myspace music. Electroclash straddled the two scenes with connate garb. There's been no real analysis or revival of the latter maybe because it was too underground.

Oh man I was at Artrocker night at the buffalo bar nearly every Tuesday or White Heat at madame jojos for a live music fix, then my fix of electroclash at ‘ Trash’ club on a Monday, always Smash and grab (queens of noize gals) on a Wednesday. How I managed to hold down a fulltime job too I don’t know. Oh wait I worked in a record shop.

Indie Sleaze? Is that what it was called? My mum just said I looked homeless person. Although I still have my skinny jeans from back then. I also still have my American Apparel(unfortunately I did buy from them) roller skater/disco shorts(use them for bed), too many skaters skirts, and rainbow of colours tights. Still sporting my Zooey Deschanel inspired fringe cut. I flipped flop between this style and a Blair Waldorf style cause I love tights. I still kind of love both styles but dressed more tone down now, my mum is happy. Still love the music more than anything and actually my five year old loves listening to it as well. Another sleazy photographer who work I hope not to see with the resurgence of the ascetic is Terry Richardson. A real Sleazy Ball! But another top notch video. Thank you for reminding me of my Uni & early 20’s. Going to watch some OG Skins episode.

your take as someone who was “on ground zero” when the scene was in its heyday is so valuable! both the namedrops of lesser know artists and the fact that a lot of the culture vultures that cultivated imagery from that time were total creeps

I was involved with the 2000s indie scene and fishnets and heels were as common as ballet pumps on girls. Suits and blazers were common on boys. It should be pointed out that bands incorporating reggae or camp disco were doing exactly the same thing as post punk bands of the late seventies and early eighties.

I think ‘Indie Sleaze’ nicely packages and labels the style of the time. Yes ‘chav’, ‘preppy’ and ‘emo’ could be used to describe certain cultures or fashion but they all fell into ‘indie sleaze’ at some point. Indie Sleaze was also bigger than just music and fashion, it was television (Skins, Inbetweeners, Sugar Rush) it was reflected in reality TV (Big Brother, Shipwrecked) and celebs and tv personalities.

It was the last hurrah for an oppositional, confrontational and hostile youth culture, along with emo and scene.

This was a really interesting retrospective, thank you. Although I kind of hated this scene at the time (especially the music, and the pretentiousness), I do kind of miss some aspects of it now, because nostalgia. I do hope bright colours in clothing make a comeback! Everything has been so dreary for so long

Indie Sleaze fits in nicely with the idea of Dopamine Dressing and bright colours, so maybe it'll be bye bye to neutrals before we know it!

the excitement of y2k was quelled by disaster making the shift to the more materialistic celebrity worshipping decadence of mcbling. once the recession hit, we realized the new technological world wasn't what they promised, and got nostalgic for seemingly the first time, hence the emergence of indie sleaze

Lol, indie sleaze is literally a subset of the early y2k aesthetic. You see it particularly with Jules and Rue. The silhouettes of Jules outfits are very AA, then the glitter and smudgy shadows on a natural looking face. Very much indie sleaze. Same with Rue’s makeup, natural face with smudgy glitter shadows. Maddy and Cassie lean more 90s, especially Maddie.

@@nicoliva2327 very early 2000s yes, but by 2011 I was in college and we got really into 80s and 90s vintage looks and it eventually sort of became what I’m hearing people refer to as indie sleaze.
