Hippies in the ussr. What were the informals in the ussr

Entrance doors 31.08.2020

Few people today dare to dress as it was prescribed by the fashion of the 90s. In the imagination of a post-Soviet person, this style is identified with the most ridiculous images that anyone could ever dare to. But global fashion tends to be cyclical, and in the latest collections of famous couturiers, the main trends of that controversial, extraordinary and unforgettable era have already begun to slip boldly.


Historical background

The political situation in the country began to influence the consciousness of the Russian people even earlier. The awakening rebellious spirit of the Russian person, clearly oriented towards Western culture and the desire to dress in everything foreign, was already clearly traced. Well, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a powerful flow of foreign goods poured into the country.


The so-called shuttle business was actively developing. Clothes and accessories were often of dubious origin and of inadequate quality. But this did not stop anyone. A photo of the 90s fashion shows that this was the style of a shopping-hungry man who was forced to exist for a long time in conditions of a severe shortage of outfits. It was a completely wild cocktail of candor and vulgarity.


Women's fashion

In the women's fashion of the 90s, there was a strong desire to look sexy and at the same time a complete lack of understanding how to do it. It seemed to the ladies of that era that the main adornments of their image would be excessive brightness, ultra-short skirt length, deep neckline, unimaginable hairstyles and catchy makeup.


At the same time, it is worth highlighting several directions that the fair sex adhered to. The style icons of that time were the romantic “Wild Rose”, the aggressive Madonna, the direct and purposeful “Intergirl” and the freedom-loving hippies.



Men's fashion

The representative of the stronger sex, who wanted to match the men's fashion of the 90s, also preferred foreign labels, and the clothes were chosen "indiscriminately". During this era, there were several major trends. Firstly, this is the style of the “new Russian”, for which the famous crimson jacket was traditionally chosen, as well as massive accessories - a chain around the neck and a wristwatch.

Secondly, this is a sporty style - young people in those were actively involved in gyms.

Another musthave in the wardrobe of those beauties who were almost ruined by the women's fashion of the 90s - leggings in acidic and metallic colors and flashy ("leopard", "zebra", etc.) prints. At the same time, figure flaws were not taken into account - it was customary to fit even plump hips, and wear a skirt on top - a short and tight "elastic band" or a flared "lambada". Soon a worthy alternative to leggings appeared - dense multi-colored tights "dolchiki", which fit well under slip dresses that migrated from the lower wardrobe to the evening one.


Representatives of youth underground subcultures had a hard time. How to stand out among the gray mass of ordinary people, if it has long been not gray, but motley to the point of impossibility? The integral attributes of the youth fashion of the 90s were leather jackets, leather pants, tights in a large mesh, torn jeans.


Those who preferred the hippie style opted for casual loose-fitting outfits that didn't have to be ironed to perfection.


At the end of the decade, after the release of the movie Titanic, teenage girls began to wear white tops, T-shirts and T-shirts depicting the main characters.



Accessories and footwear

The favorite accessories of women, which were designed to complement the main image - leather backpacks and tote bags, which saved in all situations, be it travel, shopping or a romantic date. In the cold season, ladies wore berets and unforgettable angora hoods, which played the role of a hat and a scarf at the same time. At the height of women's shoe fashion - platform, boots, multi-colored rubber "soap dishes", ankle boots with fur trim. Men preferred sneakers and sneakers.


In the fashion of the nineties, any available jewelry was most often chosen for the role of jewelry - metal chains, pendants, watches, massive earrings, clips and bracelets made of plastic of bright colors. Appropriate hand-made accessories were selected for hippie-style clothes - beaded baubles, hiratniki, leather bracelets and brightly colored laces. By the way, not so long ago the so-called came into fashion, which is a modernized echo of that era.


Makeup and hairstyles

The desire to look defiant continued in makeup. The make-up of a woman of that era was really "fighting". There was no emphasis on any one part of the face - with the help of decorative cosmetics in rich shades, lips, eyes, and cheekbones were simultaneously emphasized. Moles, arrows were drawn, purple lipstick was used.


It was insane combing, and ponytails, which did not interfere during aerobics classes, and smooth, even bobs, which were preferred by business women.

Nevertheless, they have formed their own language of expression, street styles, fashion, art, communication, and a self-sufficient music lover market.

Hippie

The heyday of the movement based on music lover's psychedelic and hard rock addictions, which gave rise to the all-Union system of lists, forest and beach camps, home concerts, as well as hitchhiking, came in the mid-70s. By the early 80s, the hippie fashion swept the capitals, in Moscow, hippie communication covered the boulevard ring, Arbat and Mayakovsky Square. The ranks of the movement were joined by Beatleman students, street bards and a generation of children of the Soviet intelligentsia who were engaged in unofficial creativity.

In the 1980s, the movement revived thanks to the youth's interest in retro style. These groups appeared in Leningrad under the name "secretists" in Leningrad, and in Moscow they were called "bravists" (after the names of the groups Bravo and Secret)

Newwevers

The new wave movement has received a rather vague manifestation in Soviet society. Initially based on music lover preferences in the form of electronic experiments and the aesthetics of post-punk "new romantics", domestic newwevers compiled their external aesthetics on the basis of "pure style", hairstyles of a certain type and makeup, with elements drawn from other already established movements, starting from breaker glasses, ending with post-punk "dark style".

After 85, following the partial legalization of foreign non-radical styles, the popularization of disco and the rise of the metal wave, the total mass of the "new wave" was divided into two camps. Disco fans of foreign stage and consuming branded items and receiving the label "poppers" because of their hobby for pop music of the 80s. And the more advanced newweaver mods who were in close contact with the creative underground, experimenting within the framework of mod and post-punk traditions.

Breakers

In the early 80s, the echoes of the hip-hop movement reached the Soviet youth, they got their manifestation in the form of the "breakers" movement (according to the self-imposed local definition of the dance style). Originally a lifestyle that combined skateboarding and disco dance, this style was represented by a small student fashion environment and the "golden youth" of the South-West of Moscow. But by the mid-80s, following the opening of youth cafes and the release of the film “Dancing on the Roof”, breakers were presented as nothing more than a dance subculture, with their experiments in the field of appearance.

Rockabilly

The style itself became widespread thanks to the European revival of classic rock and roll and the beginning of the psychobilly movement in the second half of the 80s. In the Soviet Union, this manifestation was superimposed on the Newway costume fashion, but after 86 it became isolated, partly in the Kupchinsky underground (Leningrad), partly in the rocker (Moscow, Moscow Art Theater), and among the Elvis Presley fan club (Moscow) with hangouts at the station. Metro Revolution Square and Catacombs (the ruins of the Greek Hall)

Rockers

The term "rockers" appeared in the early 80s and was initially applied to Soviet rock fans. But, already since 1984, the label “rocker” has been fixed for the fans of the hard rock, who gravitate towards the external styling similar to the British “coffee bar cowboys” and American bike clubs. In September 1984 (on Coverdale's birthday), the term was raised on the flag by a group of hard rock fans at the TsPKO. Gorky, and later spread to the first motorcycle gangs of Moscow "Black aces" and "Street wolfs", then to all motorcycle associations up to 1989.

Metalworkers

Actually, the term "metalhead" itself, originated at the phylophonic get-togethers back in the early 80s, when at the turn of the decades the rhythms of the bands changed, which were previously considered "hard rock" by Soviet standards. The slogan "heavy metal" traced from foreign magazines initially extended to "kisomanov" and other fans of "hard rock" in the early 80s. But by the middle of the decade, after the self-determination of some music lovers into "rockers" and the appearance of domestic bands "99%", " Metal corrosion "," E.S.T. " and other groups of fans began to be called "metalheads"

Punks

The most ideologized and, at the same time, apolitical movement received its first manifestations at the turn of the 80s. Not possessing the completeness of visual information about foreign counterparts, but understanding the effectiveness of the artistic caricatured lifestyle, this phenomenon manifested itself in the form of parody street idiotism, artistic foolishness, gradually acquiring non-Soviet attributes, playing music and arts.

Being the most "offensive" for the council of nomenklatura social manifestations (openly defaming the image of a Soviet citizen in front of foreign tourists), "Soviet punk" was subjected to the most intense pressure from the Komsomol members, police and gopots. All this led to radicalization; the fusion of punks and rockers, the formation of hardcore, steal and cyberpunk styles, with the first "mohawks" on the deranged heads of the carriers. To the surprise of the representatives of the Soviet punk underground themselves, when information gaps were discovered in the "Iron Curtain", it was found that these manifestations coincided with the advanced global subcultural trends.

Fashion

With the filing of the first "new dandies" and which received its starting impetus from the mod movement of the 60s, in the USSR it received a reverse vector of development from Soviet punk to vintage motifs of the past. At the same time, without at all losing radicalism, the Soviet "fashion styling" of the period of the avant-garde artistic movements of the 80s, became a visiting card for many participants in musical and art projects, uniting diverse artistic people who gravitated to music lover omnivorous music. Such characters, disparagingly referred to in the art environment as "mods", participated in most of the key shows and performances, were carriers of the latest fashionable and near-cultural information and often shocked the population with parody of social nomenclature costumes and punk antics.

Hardmods

A short-term manifestation of this intermediate foreign style of the 70s occurred in the late 80s, due to the rallying of radical informal circles during the opposition to pressure and the influx of a new wave of truly marginal elements, following the popularization of informal movements at the turn of 87-88 (exactly after a turning point in the street battles with "Lyuber" and Gopnik). It is worth noting that such manifestations in a caricatured ironic form were present in the vastness of our homeland, when radical informals dressed up in proto-skinhead outfits, cut their heads bald out of harm, and crowded in crowded places. Frightening the policemen and the townsfolk with their appearance, who in all seriousness listened to the Soviet propaganda that de all informals were fascist thugs. Hardmodes of the late 80s were a sublemation of the punk, rockable and militaristic style, and of course, having never heard about how they should be called according to stylistic classification, they preferred the self-name “streetfighters” and “militarists”.

Cycobills

Sykobilly manifested itself to a greater extent in Leningrad at the turn of the 90s, together with the Swidlers and Meantreitors, when groups of young people shaped this direction musically, standing out from the rockabilly environment. But even before that, there were individual characters falling out of the framework of new subcultural leagues and preferring rock and roll to polymelormania. In terms of dress code, this attraction was close to the punk aesthetic.

Bikers

During the clashes with gopniks and "lubers" in the period from 1986 to 1991, special active groups emerged in the rocker and heavy metal environment, which at the turn of the 90s transformed from motto gangs into the first motto clubs. With its visual paraphernalia on the model of foreign bike clubs, and on heavy motorcycles, manually modernized or even post-war trophy models. Already by the 90th year in Moscow it was possible to distinguish the groups "Hell Dogs", "Night wolves", "Cossacs Russia". There were also less long-term motorcycle associations such as Ms Davydkovo. The self-name bikers, as a symbol of the separation of this stage from the rocker past, was first assigned to the group rallied around Alexander the Surgeon, and then spread to the entire motto movement, gradually covering many cities of the post-Soviet space

Beatniks

A phenomenon no less multifaceted than the aesthetics of punk, the Soviet beatniki traces its origins back to the distant 70s, when this term included fashionable decadents visiting hot spots, growing their hair below their shoulders and wearing leather jackets and "beatlets". This term also included "lazy" musicians playing music to order in Soviet restaurants, and simply people outside of any "leagues", leading an isolated and immoral, from the point of view of Soviet aesthetics, lifestyle. This trend by the early 80s was aggravated by a careless appearance, defiant behavior and the presence of some kind of distinctive element in clothing. Whether it's a hat or a scarf or a bright tie.

Fans

The movement, which originated in the late 70s and consisted of "Kuzmichs" (ordinary visitors to stadiums) and the visiting elite who accompanied the teams at matches in other cities, by the early 80s had found their regional leaders, overgrown with "gangs", merchandise and turned in near-football communication. Following the quick start of Spartak fans (the most famous hangout center of the early 80s was the Sayany beer bar at the Shchelkovskaya metro station), who held their own city actions and parades, “gangs” around other teams began to appear just as quickly.

Luber

A peculiar direction formed at the junction of the passion for bodybuilding and the program for the supervision of youth.

Initially assigned to a local group of people from Lyubertsy, who often arrive in the capital to places of youth recreation, the name “Lyuber” has been interpolated since 87 not only to heterogeneous groups that have no connection with each other, but also to larger groups that were concentrated in the CPKO during this period them. Gorky and Arbat. Zhdan, Lytkarinsky, Moscow State Farms, Podolsky, Karacharovsky, Naberezhnye Chelnovsky, Kazan - this is an incomplete list of the "Moscow Region brotherhood" that tried to control not only designated territories, but also other hot spots and squares near the station.

Initially encouraged by the authorities, who hoped to place these formations in the canvas of the "people's squad", these groups did not have a common dress code except for the attraction to sportswear, but also had conflicting interests consolidated only in the framework of aggression against fashionistas and "informals".

On December 2, the TsDZh hosted a festival in memory of the legendary musician Papa Lesha under the controversial and controversial name "Hippie End". The headliners of the festival were Umka and Safety Magic, but for such subcultural events it is always more important who came and not who played.

And the very expected characters came. The difference between sitting in the hall and performing on stage is practically erased. The hippie generation of the 80s and 90s is a completely lost island in the ocean of modern life. It is difficult for today's teenagers to explain why the people who sang and wrote poetry in those years are so legendary. The refreshing wind of freedom that brought the generation of hippies to the smothering gray reality of Soviet times does not even seem like a breeze today. The irony over the stamps is no longer readable due to the disappearance of the stamps themselves.

The generation of hippies of the 80s and 90s collected ridiculous tablets of ridiculous content, sang songs turned inside out and declared a complete rejection of non-creative content. This is not the “generation of janitors and watchmen” that BG glorified. These people could work as janitors only temporarily. Because they constantly wandered from flat to flat, from registration in one city to registration in another, they could go swimming in the Crimea at any moment in a good mood, and went basically without money. Because cars hitchhiked, asked on the way, earned money for food by playing the flute and singing with the guitar.

The life of a hippie is best described by the lines of Pope Lesha himself, honest and harshly ironic:

Where are you from? - From Petrograd ...
Oh yes! Well, what is there? - Yes, everything is as it should ...
We were in May, fit in with Lovu ...
Do you know Lova? - The dude is high! ..
Yes, very cool, and we lived there,
We lived on flat Lova all May,
What are you next? - No, back ...
When? - Tumorrow ... - Yeah, I see ...
Will we come to you? - Of course, cool! ..
Pacific Knight! - Will be healthy!
And then - by knight - a buzzy people!
Everything is in complete Paradise - let's go to St. Petersburg!

Oh yeah! Let's go ... And what will happen there?
All the same boredom, all the same people
All the same spikes, flats, layouts,
All the same Sams and the same Magda,
Carts, races, tea until dawn ...
What is it, why is all this ?!

This generation was originally lost. It did not fight for life. Hippies of the 80-90s died like a fan. Someone committed suicide, someone died from hard drugs, most often the young and talented simply got drunk. The fact that Papa Lesha lived until October 2005 seems incredible fantasy and a caustic grimace of life. He should have died much earlier. For several years now, his kidneys did not work at all because of excessive alcohol consumption, in hospitals they confirmed and denied the diagnosis of AIDS ... And yet Alexey Barmutov remained a subtle, intelligent author, writing incredibly powerful driving songs. When he died, he was only 45.

Why do I always mention the 80-90s? Because there is no mutual understanding between generations, even within these very Russian hippies. Some of them have gone to veganism and animal welfare (Lyubava), some are copying the Beatles of the 60s over and over again, some are leaving for sketes and communities remote from civilization.

For the most part, the same people gathered at the festival in memory of Pope Lesha. Who survived. The host of the evening was The Hobbit (Aleksey Beketov), \u200b\u200bwhose caustic and often abusive verses amaze with philosophical depth. The hobbit recalled some stories connected with Dad Lesha (they were close friends "no-spill-water"). And read poetry. I read something from Papa Lesha, something from myself. The lyrics of the famous songs that were sold among the lost generation are still amazing in their relevance. Words addressed to the Brezhnev system may well be addressed to Putin's, and indeed to any social structure of thought inclined to totalitarianism.

Umka said that she had many connections with Papa Lesha. They performed together at festivals, sang together at home, the police dispersed these forbidden concerts ... Now we can already say that Umka and Papa Lesha became the most prominent faces of that generation. Umka sang for about half an hour with a guitar, remembering old songs. She performed a new one, just written, with the words: "Excuse me if I forget the words."

Sobaka (Andrey Rusinov) could not come, but Rostik (Rostislav Zvezdin) came and put on a real country blues show with his project “The Brothers Growth-n-Roll”. The turmoil sang one song of Papa Lesha to the guitar.

The Safety Magic, a star of the national ethno-jazz scene, played a meditative set of their best compositions. Guitarist Dan Lerman played a lot of jam sessions with Papa Lesha at one time, and bass guitarist Mikhail Avsharov is the bassist of Papa Lesha's most famous band called Lubok. Behind the scenes Umka exhales with admiration: “You are playing great! I would like to record something with you. " Safety Magic has a very busy schedule, without waiting for the end of the festival, they leave for the station. The next day they have a concert in Nizhny Novgorod with Inna Zhelannaya.

A theatrical performance of one of the songs of Pope Lesha is shown by Navna (Natalya Vinogorskaya). She walks onto the stage with a sheathed guitar. And he explains: "This cover was once given to me by Daddy Lesha." He takes pictures and sings in a trembling voice one of his most soulful things.

The Boston Tea Party is one of those groups that continue the tradition of melodic hippie songs with guitar and violin, enriching it with the grace of the Silver Age style. Beautiful and sad melodies pour from the stage, forcing one to reflect on the fate of the countercultural intelligentsia.

The protest against the vulgarity of momentary existence was once expressed in an asocial way of life. Few creators were able to enter the countercultural layers of creativity, comparable to the discoveries of the avant-garde titans of the 10-20s of the 20th century. Dad Lesha in the last years of his life developed technologies for the influence of white noise on textual conceptual series. Perhaps his archival records are still waiting for their researchers.

The festival ends with a hard set by the Trest group, the ideologists of pseudo-suicide. Powerful drive and honest infernal everyday texts are the band's calling card. Quart guitar riffs wrap around the pulsating rhythm section, Vladimir Kolosov is focused and precise.

And everyone came out to the final song. Participants and non-participants. Friends and associates. The children of Papa Lesha came out. “Here I die, I will die” is a hymn to vitality and self-irony in any circumstances. Papa Lesha's song to the melody "Happy Birthday" was written about five years ago, but became widely known in the narrow circles of "those" hippies. The choral performance of "Here I Die, I Will Die" to the accompaniment of "Trust" was discordant and raw, but from the heart. Vladimir Veselkin (ex- "Auktsion"), according to the old tradition, poured a whole box of cigarettes onto the stage.

May the cheese land rest in peace to you, Papa Lesha.

As you already know, fashion is cyclical, so all trends are gradually returning. 90s style again at the peak of popularity. Oversized sweaters and jackets, banana pants and Soviet-style sweatshirts have returned to us from the recent past.

clothing

Disco, rock, punk and rap clothing was an integral part of the 90s wardrobe. Remember the Kar-Men group, singers Viktor Tsoi and Bogdan Titomir, and pay attention to how they dressed. Among the then fashionistas and fashionistas were popular colored leggings, rubber sneakers, voluminous down jackets, sweatpants, boiled skirts, jeans and leather jackets. To fully immerse yourself in the style of the 90s, you can watch the Dutch film "New Boys Turbo", where eccentric characters are dressed according to all the rules of old school.

Jeans

In those days, special attention was paid to denim clothes - only the lazy did not go in it. Avid fashionistas managed to wear jeans with denim shirts, bags and boots. The style of the 90s can be safely called "denim", since every person had such a thing in more than one copy.

The influence of music

Style unisex in the 90s fell in love with the whole world. His main attributes were sneakers, wide T-shirts and jeans. Heels were replaced by massive athletic shoes. Oversized jumpsuits were worn by both girls and boys. Style grunge appeared when the popularity of the group Nirvana increased. Musician Kurt Cobain wore old, tattered clothing that shocked many fashion house owners. His rebellious look had several hippie and punk elements: long matted hair, ripped jeans and rough shoes. To try on a similar image now, you just have to go to any mass-market class store and choose for yourself the current style models of the 90s.

Fashion

In the 90s, the main fashion capitals were Paris, Milan, London and New York. Fashion makes two already famous designers insanely popular: Gucci and Prada... For them, this time was the beginning of the conquest of the world. From minimalism, the style of clothing turns into an urban look. Things are now meant more for the streetrather than for a secular reception. Russian girls tried on the hooligan image under the influence of the musical direction "hip-hop"... He was characterized by wide pants, a large jacket or hoodie, a cap and sneakers.

Hairstyles

In Russia 20 years ago were popular lush hairstyles... Long, loose hair, raised at the roots, was the main trend of the 90s style. Singer Madonna often wore a ponytail. Her images influenced the appearance of Russian fashionistas. Older TV shows also dictated hairstyles. Smooth and smooth bob, tight knots and straight bangs were the main attributes of the style of a business woman in the 90s.

How to dress?

Dressing in the style of the 90s doesn't take much effort. Now in the assortment of stores there are models "from the past". Jeans-boiled have been relevant for more than one season. For the winter, muted shades of blue with the effect of small stains are suitable, for the summer - light "dumplings" with gradient transitions. You can make a similar decor with bleach and boiling water. Long jeans skirts can be safely obtained from my mother's old wardrobe. In those days, models with vertically positioned buttons were relevant. To modernize such a retro thing, bleach the bottom of the skirt, and feel free to wear it in the summer.

Biker jacket

"Kosuha" - an important wardrobe detail in the style of the 90s. Several years ago, it ceased to be the "uniform" of only rockers and bikers. At the moment, the classic black "leather jackets" are leaving, giving way to pastel shades. For a refreshing 90s look, add a mint or soft lemon jacket in a similar cut to your wardrobe. "Kosuha" universal, so you can wear it with almost any item. In summer, in cool weather, wear it over a light dress, and in spring or autumn with jeans, sneakers and a sweater.

Leggings and leggings

The first thing that comes to mind from the style of the 90s is bright leggings... Now they are increasingly called leggings and are referred to as a purely female wardrobe item. Leggings made from stretch fabrics are back in fashion. Their distinctive feature, which has survived since that time, is prints... The popular swag culture has brought up tight-fitting, piquant places in the female image. Prints with space, skulls, geometric shapes and natural animal motifs are the trends of this season.

Sweaters

Shapeless sweaters with an ornament - the squeak of the season. The “oversized” size has been relevant for several years, but many are still afraid to return to the “dashing 90s”, but in vain! A unisex sweater with ornamental and geometric patterns is a real find for those who want comfort and warmth. Its shape is able to hide all figure flaws, and if you, on the contrary, want to emphasize a thin waist, put it on top leather belt... For a 90s-style sweater like this, head to your local thrift stores or outlets.

Hippie style

The ethnic theme in the 90s was popular among the most advanced youth. Clothes in style hippie consisted of long outfits made of cotton fabrics: spacious dresses, floor-length sundresses, maxi skirts, bell-bottomed trousers, elongated blouses, T-shirts and T-shirts. To look like "children of flowers", you will need not only purchased items, but also handmade products. Hair dryer
