COVER STORY: URBAN YOUTH
A History Of Attitudes
 The
Angst-ridden '70s
Socialism was in full swing, and the Nehruvian hangover continued. For
the young, Che Guevera and Amitabh Bachchan were cool, and the dollar
was exotic. It was chic to be Left, wear kurtas and sport angst as an
unshaven commitment.
The Uncertain '80s
 The
Rajiv Look — clean shaven, shawl across the shoulder, Ray-Bans and
lots of teeth. The first signs of nouveau riche spending began to show
on the social horizon, and for the well-heeled youngster, owning a Maruti
was ambition. Rohit Bal was yet to discover peroxide and fabric but there
was electricity in the air — First Greed.
The Carefree '90s
 A
teen in the 1990s was a teen forever-the world was suddenly at his doorstep.
Plastic became as important a habit as air kissing, and confidence was
personified. The body was a beautiful accessory and the dotcom generation,
emerging later in the decade, became technologically fluent. The laptop
Indian is the Silicon guru, with clones dreaming greenbucks everywhere.
