A striking thing about punk was how much nona gaye it was an echo of the 50's - although in its defense it wasn't just revivalism, because it was post-modern in the sense that nona gaye it knowledgably and self-consciously incorporated those styles into new kinds of cultural productions that used them ironically, not uncritically. So in reaction to the loose colorful clothing of the 1960's and early 70's, you suddenly had this idea of tight clothing and dark clothing, leather jackets, black pants. I remember that you couldn't buy black jeans in Winnipeg in 1980 so we used nona gaye to buy blue jeans and dye them black. And you couldn't buy skinny legged jeans so we would turn our jeans inside out - and I remember I had my mother's sewing machine which I learned to use very well - and we would sew new, tighter seams on the inside of the pants.
