At møde halvfuld op på Café 1000FRYD i Ålborg en tirsdag aften, stille sig 50 centimeter fra scenen, råbe med på sangene fra et obskurt garagerockband og gå derfra med gennemblødt t-shirt, ringetoner for ørerne og et kæmpe smil på læberne." - "Sometimes I miss being a teenager. Meeting half-crocked at Café 1000FRYD in Ålborg on a Tuesday afternoon, standing 50 centimetres from the stage, shouting along to songs from an obscure garage rock band and leaving with a soaked T-shirt, ringing in my ears and a huge smile on my lips." It is a focus of the successful novel Nordkraft by Jakob Ejersbo. The bar and concert hall are located on the ground floor. Other floors in the building contain cots for touring bands, artists and vagrants as well as several art studios.

Det er undergrundskultur blandt borgerskabets og småborgerskabets børn, som udviklede sig stærkt igennem firserne. Ikke arbejderklasse i den forstand, men sådan en slags ungdomsproletariat, som markerede sig særlig stærkt i Aalborg og Aarhus i de år", quoting Hans Henrikson. "In Aalborg it's the culture surrounding 1000Fryd in the transition from the 80s to the 90s. It's an underground culture of middle-class and lower-middle-class kids that developed in a strong form during the 80s. Not working-class as such, but rather a sort of youth proletariat that made itself felt very strongly in Aalborg and Aarhus in those years". References Further reading Jakob Ejersbo.
