Subcultural Stylin', 1980s-1990s
Though remembered in popular culture as an era of power suits, supermodels, and the motto "greed is good," the 1980s and 1990s saw the proliferation of subcultures, including punk and hip-hop, in which girls were active participants in pushing back against the mainstream. Activism against AIDS in the 1980s also inspired a generation of queer youth to fashion a culture for themselves. |
