The Young Ones: For Punks, Metalheads, Hippies — and Total B@stards

When I was 11, growing up as a misunderstood metalhead, there was nothing on TV that felt like it was for me — until The Young Ones smashed through my screen… literally.

In this deep dive, I break down how this wild, anarchic show became the true voice of the 80s counterculture — punks, metalheads, hippies, anarchists, hopeless romantics… we all saw ourselves in Vyvyan, Rick, Neil, and Mike.

This wasn’t just a sitcom. It was a variety show, a political statement, a musical showcase, and a hilarious rebellion all in one.

Featuring legendary moments:
🎸 Motörhead playing “Ace of Spades” live
🧘 Neil’s iconic “Vegetable Rights and Peace”
🥾 Alexei Sayle’s “Doctor Martens Boots”
🧻 Rick’s “Dirty pants, clean botty”

For everyone who never fit in — this one’s for you.
