...Paul's Boutique is alive and well--in Dr. Dre's hands among others. The Beastie Boys' most recent offering, Check Your Head, features a mix of sampling and live performance, another new and powerful trend. And remember, this is from white guys!

Clothes in every color of the neon rainbow, clothes with words on them, clothes with Haringesque graffiti on them, gang clothes, dance clothes, nerd clothes, and even one or two items not made of Lycra...
