Idk if a gang war started by a petty criminal's mum throwing a bottle of blue WKD at another petty criminal's head is Real England or whether it goes all the way through Real England and comes out the other side.

THE MUSIC ROOM CREW
Then: You ever sit down and wonder who actually likes Muse? Or Biffy Clyro? Or John Frusciante? Well, consider that every school in the country has at least three guys who wear Fender T-shirts and spend their lunch breaks arguing about the correct way to play the "Under The Bridge" intro. And that there's, well – I dunno – a lot of schools in the UK, and you begin to understand these bands' popularity. At first, I wasn't sure they were still a "thing", but then I looked at the line-up for Reading this year and instantly realised that these young men were still ploughing their own furrow. Still got love for Flea, still not loving electronic beats.
Now: Unsurprisingly, in this troublesome economic climate, it seems most of them are still refusing to give up the snuggly world of education; still enrolled in various obscure universities (Buckinghamshire New, Anglia Ruskin, Glyndŵr) doing studies in obscure technical bullshit (RPG Design, Turf Technology, Josh Homme studies). They all grew wavy ponytails, started Reddit accounts and became the "rock" guys you see in every Wetherspoons; studded wristbands, 3/4 length pleather jackets, talking about UKIP and dragons.
They resent fashion in all its forms; every T-shirt has to refer to something else, be it a band or a Red Dwarf character. The strange thing about this particular subculture is that it doesn't seem to be something that people grow out of. We've all had our stages with different scenes, but mostly they're just fleeting obsessions with a rebel ideal. For guys like this, it seems to be more of a long-term lifestyle choice – a monastic vow of uncool.

one night recently after missing the last train back from a suburban London town of debatable realness I ended up at the only place where drinking could be prolonged, a night at the local rock club. It was remarkable, exactly the same as it would have been in 2001 except everybody's a bit fatter and a bit balder and a lot more empty inside.

the rock dudes in my old market town (7,000 people) were good guys who would seek out and stand up for the other youngish oddballs and misfits in town - as a mere badly dressed indie geek I felt honoured to tag along with this ragtag bunch of metallers + eastern Europeans + about half of the very few non-white people in town
then you go to the rock pub in the nearest 100k town (except you don't in the one I'm thinking of / living in now, because it's closed down) and the bar staff all completely blank anyone not in the exact same regulation leathers, band shirt and haircut as everyone else there. and everyone there would be white, since I brought up race in the first paragraph.
speaking of white I think I first heard of White Lies in the same month as another White Something band and now I can't remember if I used to like them or if I'm thinking of someone else

After hearing the religious revivalist Gypsy Daniels attracting crowds with his shout of ‘I've got heaven’, Monolulu adopted his own slogan ‘I've gotta horse’, sometimes alternating with ‘Black man for luck’.

[Jeffrey] Bernard had brought with him a box of Black Magic chocolates and offered the famous tipster a ‘strawberry cream’. Unfortunately, Monolulu started to fatally choke on the chocolate. Bernard backed out of the ward bidding farewell.
