From my perspective growing up in the 80s and 90s, Adam & The Ants were perhaps the most uncool band in the world. Drippy, low energy music performed by battle re-enactment types wearing period costumes and Native American facepaint. Why anyone would like it, follow it, or emulate it was a mystery.
The 80s were uncool, especially if you didn't have a drum machine or a distortion pedal, and Adam & The Ants were the pinnacle of sad. Lower than 80s psychedelic people, lower than goths. Even lower than musical theatre on roller-skates.

I don't hate it at all, I was simply answering your question.

It’s from before the New Romantic thing, and it’s bloody great, and very very different to their “dandy highwayman” stuff
