# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=punk+teddy-boys
# Punk carries the structure. Teddy Boys appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Punk (Style, 1970s–1980s) and its accent from Teddy Boys (Style, 1950s–). Structural cues: Cut-and-paste letters; Photocopier noise; Handwriting; Ragged placement. Accent cues, used sparingly: Long drape jackets; Slim ties; Crepe-soled shoes; The quiff. Composition: Deliberate misalignment and overlap; disturb even the margins. Type and lettering: Mix newsprint letters, handwriting and stamps. Let one material quality come from the second style: Thick crepe soles, narrow woven ties, cloth that takes a drape. Mood: Rebellion, Exhilaration, Nostalgia, Play. Color: build on #eee3cf, #ef3127, #10100f with a single accent drawn from #eae6de, #6b655c, #1a1815. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Punk: Borrowed rebellion is hollow. Decide what you are protesting first.
# - Teddy Boys: The more carefully the Edwardian detail is reproduced the more authentic it looks, and the joke about class quietly disappears.
