What getsgot me wondering was this, the 'good old days' of Ibizan clubbing (forgive the term, I know there are good nights still going, but y' get the picture) often refer to the great mix of people there, non judgemental & from all walks of life. Very egalitarian & on the face of it what good clubbing people would appear to aspire to.
However in the same breath, anything percieved as 'cool' nowadays, has to be 'exclusive' or you must be 'in the know'.
Now forgive me for my cynicism, but my experience of 'in the know' generally means the exact opposite of that egalitarian ideal. The same gang, coined up,coked up, denying access to their place to the less 'cool'. Would it appear that cool of now is the antithesis of what the 'original' cool was. knowwhatimean?
I was just thinking, when I read the Terry Farley article & he talks about the 'girl from greggs' in disparaging terms - what happens if she is the safest, soundest person ever? Is it not ibizan to play out with her due to her background?
F uck me i've droned on, be interested in if you think perception has changed.
