Museum of Youth Culture is a new emerging museum dedicated to the styles, sounds and social movements innovated by young people over the last 100 years.
See our exhibition Grown up in Britain: 100 Years of Teenage Kicks at the Herbert in Coventry.
"Among the submissions are fuzzy photos of raucous pre-drinks at home, women smoking cigs in social clubs, house parties in Manchester and pints and hairspray in Essex nightclubs."
Thanks to The Guardian for including us on a round up of social media channels capturing UK nightlife! Brilliant to be featured alongside some great photographers including Linden Archives and Liz Johnson Artur.
Great nights out are gone too soon, often lost in a hungover haze. Thankfully, social media accounts are capturing the scenes that deserve to be remembered

“Most of my work actually is just like the straight up portraits… There’s so much information just in looking at their faces, looking at the way they dress, their identity or how they hold themselves.” Our exploration of the summer months had us interviewing Rebecca Lewis who captured the many different scenes of youth culture in the 2000s.

Taking the studio to the street.
The Handsworth Self Portrait project, set up by photographers Derek Bishton, Brian Homer and John Reardon in 1979, was created specifically to allow people who had been stereotyped and objectified by mainstream media to put themselves, literally and figuratively, in the frame. Over 350 people photographed themselves in the outdoor studio using a electronic cable release.
The resulting archive of photographs are a joyous celebration of the local Handsworth community.
A selection of photographs from the Handsworth Self Portrait project are featured in Grown up in Britain: 100 Years of Teenage Kicks at the Herbert in Coventry. On until February 12th, 2023.

In May we explored Protest and Rebellion in youth culture. We featured the story and photos of Atalanta Kernick who was involved with the Rebel D***s and briefly lived at Greenham Common. Reflecting on her time organising and living with different women's groups, Atalanta can see how the movements have evolved over time, but her and her peers' inputs were all crucial in shaping the activism we see today.

The screaming fans, angry protesters, hysteria in the papers - going to these gigs brought with it the teen kudos of causing outrage and panic amongst adults. The Noughties had barely begun and two American rockstars were courting controversy to win the top spot as the ultimate anti-hero.
In 2001 Marilyn Manson and Eminem took to the stage at London Docklands Arena a month apart. In the queue their teenage fans burn bibles, and brandish their middle finger, whilst their parents wonder what happened to their sweet children.

“Hip hop, Acid House, Break Beat, Techno from 84 -89. These four genres combined with a shift in emphasis depending on tastes, that in the 90s would grow into more sub genres like, Hard core, Rave, Jungle, Drum & Bass and within these sub genres would evolve into a new generations genres from the turn of the millennium like; Garage, Dub Step, Grime and more recently Bass music, Trap and EDM.”
In April we looked at the major influence of musical innovations on youth cultures globally. Photographer Normski was there to capture the time and wrote about his time growing up with electronic music for us.
Richard Davis is a British, social documentary and portrait photographer. He was born in Birmingham and moved to Manchester where he studied at the Polytechnic in 1988. He quickly began documenting life in the inner-city area of Hulme, it’s huge brutalist inspired concrete crescents, as well as its many characters that inhabited the flats, many of which were squatters.
Richard has a forthcoming photography exhibition called ‘In The City’ which starts at Manchester Central Library on the 7th January and runs until the 1st April 2023.

Naz Toorabally, founder of WEIRDO Zine, wrote for us in March to explore South Asian Representation in Alternative Subcultures.
“Many of us have felt like we’re the only ones from the South Asian community in the alternative scene, and I realised this was partly because our presence in these scenes was not being documented.”
In March we dug into the many styles and fashion choices young people have pioneered through history. While fashions and trends may exist on a cycle there are always new innovations and spins that define every generation. 🧵🪡

“The sense was that the music was happening elsewhere and I wanted to be elsewhere. I guess that’s why I got into the pen pal thing really.”
Before the world wide web connected us through apps and chatrooms, social media required a more physical and time consuming approach to connect with like minded people. Magazine listings, record shop advertisements and handwritten letters were carefully constructed and waited on by young people around the world. Jonny Melton wrote many of these letters as a teenager in rural East Anglia. Mail became a way into the world outside, otherwise only seen on late night TV. From Moscow to Finland Jonny kept pen pals, sending records and creme eggs to other kids waiting by the letterbox.

"What is nearest seems absolutely dissimilar, totally foreign. Often the most striking similarities are ones we find - according to travel psychology - clear on the other side of the world.
Inspired by this notion I focused my attention on two communities either side of the Earth to continue my constant exploration of youth."

Gursharanapal, also known as Boy Chana, grew up in the diverse St Lozells neighbourhood of Birmingham. He remembers the positive influence of growing up in an area where those of Asian, black and white working class communities could share their experiences and interests. Heavily involved in Birmingham’s music scene he fused a love for Bhangra music and his Asian heritage with more mainstream music. Working as a pirate radio DJ for the Asian community, reporting and reviewing on new music releases and hosting late 90s all-dayer events, all whilst passionately encouraging and promoting Asian music.

“The pulsating nightclubs and fashionable boutiques of 'Swinging London' also fed into notions of Britain entering an age of bold, liberated modernity… British cultural exports such as Beatlemania, mod style and Mary Quant's chic fashion designs accrued an aura of exciting vitality.”
In the 1960’s British youth were shapers and shakers of youth trends across the world. Bill Osgerby explores the decade in this article. Swinging Sixties: from sharp mods to counterculture.

“Dubstep was one of the first music genres to benefit from emerging Web 2.0 applications. Myspace, Dubstep Forum, the Hyperdub web-zine and blogs like Blackdown, Gutterbreakz and Drumz Of The South all contributed to dubstep’s growth, at a pace unknown to previous underground scenes.”
Photographer Georgina Cook saw Dubstep boiling up from its earliest nights in South London pubs and clubs. In this article she takes us through the underground beginnings in to what would become a dominant genre of the global music scene.

Check out Museum of Youth Culture Mugs in production!
A new museum to house your stories of youth. Honestly, authentically, without fuss. A museum you can join today. Help us launch our first inaugural exhibition in 2019.
Originally formed from the archives of London based club culture and lifestyle magazine Sleazenation, the Museum of Youth Culture has been quietly collecting photographs, clothing and ephemera documenting our rich youth culture movements, scenes, fashions and nightlife over the last 22 years.
The archive brings together over 100,000 precious photographs, slides and objects celebrating the diversity and boldness of youth culture movements in the UK from the birth of the teenager in post-war Britain to the modern Grime scene of East London. It's now time to share this collection with the world.
Since 2015 the Museum of Youth Culture has evolved from a small youth culture photo archive into a fully fledged heritage team of youth culture specialists, working together to reinvent the modern museum for the purpose of preserving, sharing and celebrating youth culture history. The Museum is a response to an increasing public demand for a central go-to hub for the celebration and preservation of British youth culture including music, fashion and social movements.
The Museum of Youth Culture archive houses the most comprehensive collection of youth and subculture movements in the United Kingdom over the last 100 years, from Psychobillies to UK Garage, all our contributors and collaborators are authentic participants and active spokespersons of their respective scenes.
Already a renowned resource in the academic sector, the Museum of Youth Culture archive maintains long term partnerships with University Degree programmes including Fashion Design, Fashion Promotion and Sociology, providing access, workshops and academic support for students researching youth culture and social history.
Currently housed privately in Printworks London, Europe's biggest nightclub, the Museum of Youth Culture needs your support as a Museum Patron to help make this a public online collection enriched with a leading education and public outreach programme.
We think it's about time a permanent museum is dedicated to the specific needs of youth culture, subculture, and social history without the agenda of big institutions or curatorial bias. That's why we want to open a permanent Museum of Youth Culture free education space including a darkroom and gallery in Summer 2020.
Celebrating 21 Years of Club Culture: Resident Advisor for their 21st birthday they have published Sacred Spaces, a limited edition book of love letters to dance floors from around the world.
All profits from sales of the book will be donated to three organisations close to their hearts: Bridges for Music, Choose Love and Museum of Youth Culture
