Some Wear Leather Some Wear Lace A Worldwide Compendium Of Postpunk And Goth In The 1980s

It was a scene that had many names: some original members referred to themselves as punks, others, new romantics, new wavers, the bats, or the morbids. "Goth" did not gain lexical currency until the late 1980s. But no matter what term was used, "postpunk" encompasses all the incarnations of the 1980s alternative movement. Some Wear Leather, Some Wear Lace is a visual and oral history of the first decade of the scene. Featuring interviews with both the performers and the audience to capture the community on and off stage, the book places personal snapshots alongside professional photography to reveal a unique range of fashions, bands, and scenes. Alongside rare photographs, the interviewees discuss the motivations behind the dark aesthetic: the fashion, the art and, most of all, the music.
