Diamond Dogs
Diamond Dogs is a David Bowie album from 1974, a post-apocalyptic concept record loosely inspired by George Orwell's *1984*.
The title track depicts feral, glam-tinged survivors in a collapsed civilization.
The phrase has been borrowed for band names, video game factions, and other cultural references evoking stylish outcasts or rebellious survivors operating outside conventional society.
