The 1980s. A time of wild creative activity in the exotic state of Florida. From South Miami to West Palm Beach and spreading north, the music, fashion, art, and youth culture were in revolt. Read about what Miami Herald columnist Tara Solomon called "a vibrant underground scene of creatives...The kids were in charge—at least for a while. And it was bliss."

From bands like Screaming Sneakers, the Cichlids, the Reactions, Psycho Daisies, and the Eat to clubs like Fire & Ice and the Cameo Theater and clothing stores like Electric Trash, all of the alternative-scene players and places that sparked a creative wave in South Florida are captured here in a fascinating document of the time that the Orlando Weekly calls "comprehensive."

If you lived in Florida in the 1970s, '80s, or '90s and considered yourself part of the creative class, then this highly illustrated book tells your story. If you have an interest in Florida arts, music, or culture from the 1970s till today, this book is the holy grail of alternative culture that eventually made the mainstream.
