a term used in the eighties and nineties when techno (electronic music) was mainly something the Europeans and
foreign exchange students were into, or the international students. the only place American youth were exposed to techno music at that time were at clubs that teenagers had to use fake
IDs to get into, that were either thrown up warehouses where you could still smell the chipboard, or four-level cigar-smoke filled buildings in downtown DC named “Z Club” or Baltimore “Egypt” nothing in between.
eurotrash were the international guys who
tumbled into the club or local mall out of a smoke filled
yugo, van or delorian-nothing in between. unmistakable the vehicles were lit with neon trim, were often stacked with car
stereos and booming electronic music. commonly with at least one friend with a German or
Indian accent, signature heavy cologne and offering drugs unknown at the time in the US, at least one of these guys would have been hot if not for hanging with at least one guy way to old for the scene who was abjectly creepy and awkward.
