In post-Franco Spain many were glad to shake off Catholic social and sexual mores and to experiment. This was the period that saw the emergence of exciting and innovative film directors like Pedro Almodóvar and bands like Radio Futura and Alaska y los Pegamoides. At the same time the media, music and fashion industries sought to distance themselves from the mass-produced popular culture of the US and UK and to establish their own Spanish identity.* * *femenino1) (Jueg) move2) (Esp)a) (fam) (asunto, rollo)no me interesa la movida ecológica — I'm not into this ecology thing (colloq)
