Deep in the subterranean belly of the internet resides Internet K-Hole, an entrancing collection of personal photographs from the 1970s and 1980s. From metal heads to biker gangs to the bespectacled members of the high school computer club, K-Hole highlights the diversity (and pure weirdness) of humankind in a way that words never could.

If you don’t have time to take a dive yourself, we’ve dug up fifty-five of our favorite pictures:
