Punks, Goths & Mods on Irish TV, 1983

There sure are a lot of siblings in their families. I guess sex is the only luxury their parents can afford...

So, like that, their parents were poor, but they all came from families of 8, 10, 12 children all the same ... ??!

BRAVO ! I can see that poor people are very smart, indeed !!!

Dated now

Are British people the most intelligent race?

Punks, darks, skinheads, mods, heavy metals, hardcore, you name it. Today the conversation is about: nonbinary, pansexual, transgender.

Wonder where this group is now

So embarrassing to admit, living on the dole but yet say they're against the system! The same system that is financially supporting you?! Wow, what dummies.

They look so uncomfortable, too

They sound so dumb and speak like uneducated teenagers. Kinda reminds me of the dumb kids of today!😊

What is that famous line in tropic thunder that Robert Downey Jr said about simple Jack.

jojo characters be like:

Host's name is Gay? Arre you serious? Hope dude isn't straight because he must go through hell with a name like that. Or maybe his name is Byrne and he's gay so he's known as "Gay Byrne"??

With those massive families, one should dress "oddly" just so your parents can find you and remember who you are.

Did not expect to fw john

A characteristic that they all share is that other than being different and wanting to express themselves, they are calm, collected, seem to stay out of trouble, and don’t really have issues against those who are not like them. And the two latter are in my opinion the difference between those groups of that time to the groups of our time, and also in some occasions seems to be some obvious mental issues intertwined. And though I’m not an expert to point out which specifically I have heard from experts that narcissism is the main factor to “wanting to attack all those who don’t agree or bend the knee”

Always made me laugh how these folks always claimed to be so individual and anti establishment- while all looking the same LOL

Os irlandeses pareciam ser bem conservadores nessa epoca, ja começando chamando eles de gangues

I saw a punk once in a bus recently. A young man probably 20-22 years old. He was so handsome. He looked so cool. Like he was genuinely so nice to look at. And i couldn't be farther from their subculture but among all the cultures punks just hit different. They're also seem very nice for some reason despite looking intimidating

First guy wants to rebel against the system he was born in into - EXCEPT - when it comes to taking the dole to live - (paid by tax payers into the system he wants to overthrow)

John was pretty funny. You can tell hes intelligent. Its a shame people judged him on his appearance.

Well done

Calling them gangs is crazy bruh

Byrne asking the tough questions here with a group of young unassuming kids while the whole country is being raped and pillaged by his beloved Catholic church.

Is there a video about where are they now?

Great debate with 2 very clever lovely people who I have nothing but respect for, they achieved something impossible 👍
Glad to see this in 2023

If they were train spotters or stamp collectors would they be treated like a freak show. They are just enthusiasts.

The people giggling in the audience so arrogant

Can we have that back instead the cults nowadays harassing everyone who just want to live their lifes? Please? Just identify with music or fashion styles and not weird cults without even deitys.

Nothing changes: young morons replace older ones😊

This was a nice breath of fresh air. Not being depicted by the media/industry as hostile chaotic violent brainless thugs but real people with passion of expression.

I'm from the US and I'm visual kei (VK for short it's a Japanese style fashion/lifestyle/genre that took inspiration from old school punk, grunge, goth and hair metal) I was a punk before that but visual kei spoke to me in my adult years I'm in my mid 30's now and still wearing the fashion and am an anarchist.

Living off the dole 20+ years now !!! Rock on

The first Punk looks like Robert Pattinson from Twilight Movie

God that silent gen interviewer ugh

I wasn’t alive then, but I know by current standards these kids are basically academics. Very people think this intellectually anymore. Good on them, I want to get in a time machine and hang out with them all.

The second dude is fucking awesome 😂😂

How can you just sit there and have someone call you a punk don't go to jail punk

was watching this with my mom and she said "I went to college with him!! Johnny Fiddler. He used to wear a kilt to class!" hahaha

The girl is shocking beautyfull! Very classic profile

What about metalheads

Only two of the groups he listed are gangs

St Patrick’s day chuckles

I was a punk/goth in the mid 80s . The clubs I went to in southern England hardly ever had any problems. It was the “squares” as I called them, that had fighting in their clubs. The only fighting I ever saw punks involved with was when “squares” picked on them for the way they looked.

Apparently Irland had no problems with fertility rate back then

Estarán igual en el 2023?
Maravillosa época 🎸🏴‍☠️🧷

I totally agree with Danaka's way of saying that punks aren't violent. I got onto the punk scene when I was young (extremely young, like 11) and there I always had people looking out for me. Of course, my friends who I went to shows with were older than me and they always had my back. But, there were also grown men who would see if I was scared or hurt and get me to the back of a show away from the pit. There were people who would push the pit away from me or say 'stand behind me' or something. People think alternative people are so scary and mean but we really aren't and punk people are typically really kind and empathetic.
