Wipe their butts with Izal toilet paper. Affectionately known as 'skid paper' when I was at school.

Ah yes, IZAL or Bronco skid paper!* Also essential for that wonderful musical instrument, the comb & paper.

• I also remember my grandparents had the "Daily Herald" in their ( outside ) loo. I think that newspaper failed because it was a sht paper!

Yep! I reckon every draughtsman worth his salt cut his teeth on IZAL.
It was probably superceded by CAD, which was a spin-off* from the Spirograph.

• See what I did there?

Be a mod/rocker/goth/punk/grunge/skinhead etc,they all seem to be homogeneous clones nowadays.

That's very true - tribalism based on music seems to be in terminal decline, or at best seems to be something that can be picked up and put down at will.

I think this is symptomatic of the decline in relative importance of music as a form of entertainment.

I blame that simon cow ell muppet for that. His homogenised lumps of turd that he makes money from has rooted the music industry. Next to impossible for bands to form the way they used to and get half a chance on the radio.

Yes, created bands have been around for a long time as well, but they never flooded the market with their beiberesque shyte.

To be fair, there has always been utter ste music - it's just that we only remember the decent stuff as we get older. I love 80s music, but there was some absolute toss about that luckily I've forgotten

Is Simon Cowell much different from Stock, Aitken & Waterman? Probably not.
