Not everyone knows what trash is. Today this short word has several meanings and is represented in many areas of life: in fashion, art, literature, music, street graphics, cinema.
What is trash? Literally translated - "garbage" (English) But a simple translation is clearly not enough for us. This word has recently taken on a whole new meaning. It is consonant, of course, to a certain extent with its main definition. In the most general sense, trash is something that goes against the conventional wisdom, violates the usual framework. Everything done in this style is done hastily, without any respect for the idea, theme, material.
Philosophy and culture
To understand what trash is as a cultural phenomenon, you need to remember America. The word "trash" there began to be called the "white dregs of society" who did not accept traditional customs and norms, but did the opposite. The emerging trend turned into a youthful subculture, the basic principles of which were based on a maximalist perception of the world and the psychology of adolescence. What can be expected from culturewhich was formed among children who are not able to recognize the shades of life, but dividing the world only into black and white? The main principle of this philosophy was "the more radical, the better." Do everything exactly the opposite. Antifashion. Anticulture. Anti-relationships. So to speak, a mass rebellion against "mass" culture.
Trash Phenomenon
He is in active interaction with glamor, with which he has many common features: marginality, exclusivity, aggressiveness, awkwardness. If you look at the models and manifestations of such a subculture as trash (photo), you can easily notice this.
Music
There is a concept of "trash" rock. It is called "thrashcore" or "fastcore". It appeared in the 80s in the USA. This is something very similar to hardcore, only in its faster variation. The compositions are usually short, filled with punchy and percussive riffs. The vocal line is often discordant with the instrumental texture. But this style of performance is by no means anti-musical. Lyrics are social, contain attempts to criticize social phenomena and social injustice.
Fashion
What is trash in fashion? If we simplify to the maximum, then “fashion trash” is terrifying colors that cause models, a combination of incongruous. That is, a complete disregard for decency, challenges to public opinion and narrow-minded taste. And also - it's ubiquitous piercings and tattoos, countless accessories, acid hair color, dreadlocks, false eyelashes, etc. Brightness and originality are important here,one might even say brutality, but also unpredictability and energy. Trash models do not appear on the catwalks. They exist in spite of them, as opposed to fashion. If fashion designers dictate that tight trousers are relevant now, then trash “sews” the widest flare. This style is the desire to stand out from the crowd as unconventionally and extraordinary as possible. The main thing is not to have rules, but to be able to be creative.
Cinema
This style has found its expression in the cinema. The top three films in this direction (according to the Internet version): Innocence of Muslims, Domesday Book and Remains.
