Turbojugend by Paul Müller-Rode

Photo series Turbojugend by PAUL MÜLLER-RODE.

The original 2014 feature introduced fans of Turbonegro, known as the Turbojugend, and their denim-patch culture. Its then-current count of chapters is not presented as a current figure.

Paul Müller-Rode photographed fans during a weekend at the Weltturbojugendtage gathering in Hamburg for this 2014 series.
