Timmy Mallett - Father of Nu Rave Neon Idiocy?

510 days ago

Timmy Mallett invented the Nu Rave look championed by magazines like Super Super. Probably.

Actually maybe it was Ultimate Warrior

Maybe it was Max Headroom

Here’s PM Dawn in the early 90s. Maybe it was them. Who knows?

This bloke could easily have invented it, but check out this guy . I think he got lost on the way to his 12 year old sister’s LSD ski school or something! Dirtydirtydancing is brilliant for pictures like that.

This kid might well be the living blueprint for the neon idiot…

  • Neon teeshirt – check
  • Converted white Rayban Wayfarers – check
  • Shemagh (arab scarf) – check (although it might be on his teeshirt – even if it was it wouldn’t deduct any points though)
  • New Era Fitted cap – check
  • Alife trainers – check
  • Japanese – check
  • Booze – check
  • Fags – check

I know he’s not pushing the boat out or thinking outside the box like teenage acid ski school man or anything, but I’d say he’s definitely the benchmark.

HOT FASHION





Just to prove that people are actually wearing this kind of shit and taking it seriously, here’s a photo taken at Sonar this month.

You’d have got lynched at a rave for wearing shit like that in my day.
