i love(d) have heart.

anyway. i guess so. i was a (non racist) skinhead in the mid late 80s and then sort of morphed into the straight edge hardcore thing. i'm in my late 30s now, but that foundation still exists for me. i listen to a lot of british oi bands like cock sparrer and cockney rejects. so i am really influenced by the cleanest parts of skinhead fashion. baracuta. fred perry. etc.

somewhere along the way it morphed into a bit of this anglophilic trad thing as well and i wear a oliver spencer, universal works, barbour jackets, etc. i guess i'm somewhat inspired by the football casual look as well which is semi-directly tied back towards the skinhead thing.

so yes?

In as much as my aesthetic can be considered eclectic, the answer's "yes"

Japanese Shibuya-kei and picopop resonate rather keenly with me, since they also contain references to, and pieces of, past eras, especially the 1960s-1980s, given a modern veneer

^ Even further back, to the neo-aco period of Flipper's Guitar in 1989, although Shibuya-kei was not a going concern then. I also have one or two of Pizzicato Five's early 1980s albums and some of Maki Nomiya's solo outings, which are fun, on a mixture of hard copies and mp3s

Cornelius remains possibly my favourite recording artist; I've collected a number of his records and promotional products to the point that I bought the sheet music book to 69/96 on a whim

I had some of those records, was great for loungy atmosphere and the 60s bossanova references. At the time I wore black combat boots, black military pants, crisp white dress shirts and thin black ties so no style matching (looked like a young nazi). I also had a more "punkish" phase and even some APC or other euro-casual semi-lifestyle hip brands.
