-'''bontempi''' is also the name of an East-Worcestershire / East-Yorkshire underground movement.
-Originally a music based synth ensemble, a group named '''bontempi''' in later years went on to become a brand, (after making their name as a hugely popular band).
-Their slogan ran:
- "bontempi the band
-  bontempi the bRand
-  bontempi aren't banned"
-Three years later, after several near-splits involving rape allegations a second t-shirt campaign ran:
- "f*ck the media
-  for being well shit
-  the kilroy silk
-  is licking your c*nt"
-An original 1992 t-shirt bearing that slogan was recently sold on eBay for 300 Euros.
-The word bontempi derives from the Japanese symbol of the women, and roughly translates to ‘in one mind/one concept’. Post-Ironically, the phrase has perfectly encapsulated the movement it created.
-It is widely rumoured that the very early stages of the ‘bontempi movement’ originated in East Worcestershire, however pin-pointing it’s earliest locations still baffles historians. The mystery has endearingly been given the name ‘Bontempi HQ’ - it is uncertain whether or not this was in name used by the secret underground movement. Allegedly this location has become an elite school which has been set up to ensure the survival and understanding of bontempi. The school charges no fees and requires no specific academic achievement. On the contrary, candidates reportedly endure a gruelling two week induction period where the Mainstream in them is whittled away to leave new members of '''bontempi'''.
-Unlike it’s location, the ‘bontempi movement’ beliefs are resolute; to scorn anything the group labels as ‘mainstream’ and also to provide lyrics the working class can appeal to. These two central themes of the movement have lead some journalists to label '''bontempi''' as ‘the most influential British Youth movement since Punk and the scouts’ .
-The only evidence of the elite school to this date is a photograph a postman and dedicated fan took on his mobile phone. Unfortunately, and ironic-depressively, the movement moved and the postman dissapeared. [[Image:DSC00097.JPG]] An investigation is underway.
-BREAKING NEWS - It seems as though the cult, ‘Bontempi’’s mystery is starting to unravel. The group attributed to the massive success of the new wave of indie bands through- out the country and penicillin. The group that is famed for being the most underground society, has today been blown wide open. Below is a photo that has been leaked to the papers – no one can be sure of its origin, but allegedly it is a photograph of the co-founder of both the East Worcester and East Yorkshire wings of the organisation.

-NOTE: Not to be confused with the Canadian band of the same name.
