You’ve probably noticed that “indie sleaze” has made a comeback.
The moniker was retroactively bestowed onto the period, spanning roughly seven years from 2006 to 2012. And while the era is currently remembered for its grubby, brash aesthetic – all smudged eyeliner and Henry Holland slogan tees – the portraits of @rebeccazephyrthomas tell a slightly different story.
We Are Your Friends 01, a new zine by the Shoreditch-based, New Zealand-born photographer, documents The Underage Festival, an independent music festival that ran from 2007 to 2011 for 14 to 18-year-olds.
The images, taken at the first events of ‘07 and ‘08, capture the halcyon days of the indie music scene, with teenagers splayed out in a sunny Victoria Park, decked in Minnie Mouse headbands and Peter Pan collars. There’s an innocence and joie de vivre to Thomas’s photographs, one that is often omitted from conversations about that time.
“I remember thinking the atmosphere was really nice,” Thomas told Dazed in an interview earlier this summer, “as you could only find alcohol in very limited places, so there wasn’t that loud aggressive vibe that can come with booze."
"The atmosphere was more dreamy and upbeat and innocent.”
