Forgotten icons of the ah beng/ah lian culture of 80s/90s that I fondly recall:

1) Ah bengs with combs with long sharp pointed ends and must stick out prominently from the back jeans pocket

2) Jean Paul Gaultier(JPG) long wallet and is over sized which also have to stick out prominently from the back jeans pocket

3) Motorola pagers with the must have accessories of gold chain with clip and the color full bells-

4) Numeric codes sent to pagers during ah beng/ah lian courtship, e.g: 5211314(love you forever)

5) The reign of pagers lasted less then 5 years and was quickly over taken by the mobile phone where motorola startec clam-shell phone was   one of the few standard models that ah bengs would carry, as well as a few favorites from nokia. LED lighted antenna and LED stickers all   light up with incoming/outgoing call signals. soon the trend of modified phones caught on, with changing of the phone cover to transparent/gold/printed covers popular, as well as adding LED lights inside the phone to compliment the transparent cover.

6) Sparks, Fire Disco, Canto etc all did see their hay days as long Qs form for tea dance session as these did not have age restrictions

7) Once an anthem for any dance session was the song "Infinity" by Datura : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37iS3_EQm5A

More nostalgic dance session music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAqHfATmL9I&list=PLy2NAkYwzGF2_YGAmVzroE_VRH42K_BUR

8) Chanting of secret society slogans as taunts was common during those dance sessions and are the precursor to starting of fights. Aw-ah-aw!! Yo-ah-Yo!!

9) Early beng/lian fashion culture was very heavily skewed towards excessive brand associations where Valentino, Armani, Vesace, Boss, JPG were the uniforms that every self respecting beng/lian would have. Jeans will have loud prints in loud colors such as bright yellow/red. The girls trench-coat fed last for a while with its signature black trench-coat/dress with a contrasting shiny belt in either white, red or yellow tied tightly around the waist with the dress pulled snugly down to clearly define the chest.

10)The fashion culture soon changed in the 90s as the "grunge"  look caught on, with brands like stussy, criss cross, aliens, quicky silver fighting with the high end brands to be the default fashion code. 77th street was instrumental in the culture shift and they also successfully started the Doc Martins boots craze.

 

I hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane...

 

We're probably from the same era. Could relate to everything you mentioned here. Those were really fun and memorable days before the digital age took over.
Human interactions were more personal then.
