Club Kid movement

The Club Kid movement was a vibrant cultural phenomenon in the late 1980s and early 1990s centered around New York City’s underground nightclub scene. It was characterized by flamboyant, avant-garde fashion, bold makeup, and theatrical personas, embracing creativity and self-expression. Club Kids, including figures like Michael Alig, used their distinctive styles to challenge social norms and celebrate individuality. Beyond nightlife, their influence extended into fashion, music, and pop culture, highlighting themes of freedom, rebellion, and artistic experimentation within a mostly youth-driven subculture.
