Appearance: Faded denim jeams, possibly with holes in the knees, chequered shirt over a black T-Shirt with a spingle band, preferably Metallica/skulls and snakes design thereon. Favours eighties trainers, particularly of the white Reebok persuasion. Shoulder length locks. Delights in painting white designs in Tippex on leather biker jackets.
Bands: Metallica, Megadeth, Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden
Tribal Leader(s): James Hetfield, Dave Mustaine.
Note: Most of them date from an era when thrash was thrash, however genus unlikely to die out... For the college generation just beginning to start out on the alternative track, the usual choice lies between spinkle and minimosher, spinkle being the less trendy, but more hardwearing alternative.
Appearance: Loads of hair, oftened permed. Occasional bad moustache. Could often be mistaken for seventies porn star. May sport leather lace up or buckle up trousers, leather jacket, and maybe a bit more leather.
Bands: Poison, Def Leppard, Steppenwolf, Manowar
Tribal Leader(s):
for two lovely spingle photos!
