I want to be a rebel...like everyone else

This is a pretty cool photo project: a couple of Dutch artists visited several major cities around the world, and photographed members of various subcultures. They had their volunteer models for each group all pose in the same way, but the clothes and hairstyles are all what those people were already wearing that day.

They've got everyone from Goths to Grandpas!

Unfortunately for us American visitors, some of the names given to the different groups are Dutch slang and hard to figure out. Gabberbitches are apparently members of the Rotterdam hardcore/skinhead scene. I thought the Juffen looked like young librarians, but it seems they're all members of a conservative Christian denomination that requires all women to wear skirts.

Oh, the site is a little difficult to navigate. You can click anywhere on the main tile page to see a page for one photo set. If you click on the photos on that page, it will take you to the next group. Warning for those of you Web surfing at work, some of the models aren't wearing much.
