THE UNDERGROUND ELECTRONIC DANCE SCENE IS ALL ABOUT BEING IN THE KNOW AND CELEBRATING INDIVIDUALTITY. MUSIC GENRES SUCH AS TECHNO REACHES OUT TO A WIDE AUDIENCE, YET IS EASILY RELATABLE FOR THE EVERYDAY ACADEMIC. THE REPATITIVE BEATS HELPS THEIR MINDS TO STAY IN ORDER YET GIVES THEM THE SPACE TO BE FREE. THIS SCENE ENABLES THE CREATIVES TO COME OUT THEIR SHELL AND BE THEMSELVES WHETHER THAT IS THROUGH THE WAY THEY DRESS OR THE WAY THEY LET THEM SELVES GO INSIDE THE CLUB. THESE SPECIAL UNDERGROUND PLACES ARE NOT FULL OF PRETENCIOUS HIPSTERS WHO WANT TO FIT IN AND BE ‘COOL’. THESE ARE THE PLACES FOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T WANT TO B ANYONE ELSE, PUSH ALL THE BOUNDRIES AND ENJOY INTERACTING WITH NEW KINDS OF PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS AND OPINIONS. SOME INVOLVED IN THE UNDERGROUND SCENE WANT TO WEAR THE WILDEST THINGS BUT ALSO WANT TO BE BANG ON TREND. THE LINE RANGE HELPS THIS GROUP OF CREATIVES TO BE ON TREND WHILST INFLUENCES FROM THE CATWALK SEEP THROUGH. ITS ABOUT LOOKING EFFORTLESSLY COOL BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PASSION ABOUT HOW THE GARMENT WAS DESIGNED OR WHERE AND WHEN IT WAS MADE. TAKING INTEREST IN THE TECHNIQUES AND CRAFTSMENSHIP USED TO MAKE THE GARMENT, RATHER THAN MAINSTREAM PEOPLE WHO ONLY CARE WHO WAS LAST SEEN WEARING IT ON THIS WEEKS COVER OF ‘CLOSER MAGAZINE’. FASHION IS ART AND IT NEEDS TO BE APPRICIATED THE SAME WAY ART DOES.
