Paninaro

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paninaro (plural: Paninari) is a subculture born in Milan, Italy during the early 1980s at a fast food restaurant called Al Panino (in English :sandwiches). The subculture was famous for its apolitical nature and its obsessions with fashion and the United States, contrasting sharply with the hyperpoliticized 1970s.

The movement was also diffused in some European countries, and is celebrated by the Pet Shop Boys in the song Paninaro.

Italian Paninari spoke their own slang, very similar to the dialect of American Valley Girls.
