Also, great
I thought Repo Man was awesome and probably ahead of its time. Its one of those movies that would have benefited from the internet if it was release today. Alex Cox would have been looked at in the same vein as Edgar Wright and Michel GondryAlso, great
It's important to understand that we are being manipulated by our own biology here, and it's something every preceding generation has also fallen prey to- our brains trick us into placing greater importance on the music we listened to in our formative years, and these tastes haunt us for the rest of our lives.Boomer's Believed that shit too. They remember the 50's and 60's.
In all fairness it wasn't till the mid to latter 2000's that that idea really began to be in the minority. Once people became disillusioned about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Wall Mart had decimated 'main street' Americana and the wake of the 2008 housing bubble.
Unless you are being ironic because that is exactly the complaint Boomers have about younger generations.
Not even close to as scary. Less than 1% fatalities and a full recovery compared to 100% fatalities and incurable?Corona virus says hello!
Same here. Born in 82. But even then, it always felt like we were on the precipice of a technological revolution that ended up happening this past two decades. So I couldn’t wait for the future, even then. But the 90s were fucking great. Punk rock, skate videos, great bands like Rage Against the Machine. The Beastie Boys. It was the shit.I was born in 84 most of my memories are of the 90s. It was a good time I guess

I had working class parents, and in the 70's my dad built a split level bunk bed thing in the back of this 1960's flat-nosed van and we drove from Ohio to the Grand Canyon parking the van in KOA's and rest areas. We cooked meal on a portable propane stove, lots of Spam and hot dogs. It was kinda awesome.The kids in the 80's likely grew up with parents with less money, generally, they had less resources in school, less options for play, less opportunities to travel, etc, etc but at the same time they had very happy childhoods, that were mostly spent out doors and anxiety free, as they made the most with the little resources they had.
In the very late 80s or very early 90's, I attend a Dead Milkmen concert were the crowd shredded a Poison album that was thrown into the pit. I walked 5 miles back to my apartment, drunk, when I was thrown out for moshing and was separated from my ride / friends.More like underground 80s music aged well. Not so much with the REO Speedwagons, the Poison's and Christopher Crosses' that were very main stream in the 80s
Glad to see someone a few years older than me in here. There is a pronounced generation gap.I was stationed in Korea in 1983, mind blown.
Also the only movie with no product placement!Has one of my favorite exchanges in film:
*staring at space ship*
"What about us?"
*looks at her dismissively*
"Fuck that."
