Beloved of many a culture and sub-culture. In fact they may be a culture all their own.
It is the considered opinion of your correspondent that if you manage to marry the innocent brilliance of Syd Barrett with the funk of Funkadelic and the attitude of The Doors you may have a winning combination to blow the mind of the unsuspecting pubic, solve the global climate crisis and perpetrate whirled peas on the planet as well as extinguishing the memory of Trump and his cronies.

Not seeing a down side to this. Don’t forget the satin shirts
Heck yeah!
