GTA_stu Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Rollerblading, skateboarding, skydiving, videogaming, cheap travel > Poking a dead animal with a stick/chasing pigeons/throwing stones at your friends balls/running around like a maniac Tell you what I'll meet you in Trafalgar Square next Saturday, you bring some stones and a stick, and I'll bring along the decomposing cat. If you don't have the time of your life, I'll buy you a rollerblade. Now you can't say fairer than that. Just bring along a spare pair of socks, because your other pair will be blown right off.

The reason why people disagree with you is that the technological era we live in is far more advanced than the past 50 years. If you didn't live in this era, you wouldn't have Internet, you wouldn't be able to post in GTAForums, you wouldn't be able to watch South Park! Also, if you think this generations youth isn't as good as previous ones, that shouldn't matter. You shouldn't follow the trends after all. Find a couple a friends, maybe a boyfriend, make a new hairstyle, new fashion, have fun, be creative. You don't wanna waste your youth wishing you lived in a different era.

Kampioen Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I feel like in terms of fashion and culture, up to about 2000 there was less room for individualism and trends seemed to be more widely followed, whereas today we have a wider range of subcultures and everything in between. I could be wrong though, I was born in 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Scratch Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 As much as I like things from before the 2010's I still wouldn't want to actually live in a different decade. Mostly because now we've got everything that made those times so rad but we can still enjoy modern stuff...like Teen Moms. mr quick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong though, I was born in 1990. A teacher I had in 8th grade told a story from when he went to middle school, where half the school were wearing the same t-shirt (Same color aswell). That was in the 90s. It seems like the chance of being bullied for not following trends (Atleast when it comes to clothes), is getting lower these days.

Not really related, but this reminds me: there used to be a kid in my class who had a t-shirt with a picture of 2 turds f*cking each other with halo's over their heads, and there was text on it that said "holy f*cking sh*t". I don't think a single teacher ever complained about it. Probably wouldn't have been a good idea in the 60s. My dad would get his hands beaten with a ruler because his fingernails were dirty.

DoubleDutch Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) life hasnt changed much since the 1950s aside from the obvious advances in technology and attitudes towards gays/women/blacks. people still went to work, they still f*cked each other and they still pissed the bed. they did all the things we do now except everything was worse and apparently nobody shaved their bits. the 1950s you see in films or whatever is great but actually living in the 1950s wouldve been just as dull as life in 2014. think about it, is your life anything like the fast & furious films (or any modern film)? edit: and the 80s were sh*t as well Edited August 18, 2014 by DoubleDutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and people telling you how to dress. OP seems to like the way people dressed back then, but it's very boring to me. Suits look classy, but there's not a whole lot of variety in it. You would dress the same as everyone else with very slight differences. Not that I dress very abnormally now, but at least my outfit can look very different from one day to another. Oh, and you forgot to mention religion. It was almost a disgrace to be an atheist back then. The 1950s would be a terrible time for me to live in.

Melech Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) It's hard to describe but I'm really not a fan of modern society. I've always wished I was born in the 40s so I could live my teenage years in the 50s. I am not a fan, either. Today's society sucks big. I could point out every thing that sucks in today's society, but then I would never finish. I love music from back then (Elvis, Chuck Berry, Dion, doo-wop etc), it had some features in it that are just uplifting and just always relatable and fun. Modern music is just computers and sluts screaming or lipsyncing. Exactly! Today's music sucks. I can't understand how can people like it. I mean, they like a song just because it's fashionable, not because it's catchy or the lyrics are beautiful. Just take a look at Gangnam Style. Sh*ttiest music ever. I only like classical music and old Israeli songs by Yehoram Gaon, Arik Einstein (Z"L), Gevatron, Naomi Shemer (Z"L), Ilan veIlanit, etc. The outfits were so nice too! A reason why I'm weird is because I dress for school like a girl would in the 50s; long skirt and a closed, nicely buttoned top. I also wear my hair in those cute 50s styles. Speaking of hair, why don't guys slick their hair anymore like the Greasers? Not sure if you guys have seen "The Outsiders" but that movie is filled with that stuff I agree that modern dress is not so nice in many ways. But formal dress is very nice. But if you dress formal with people call yourposh or preppy. Many people call me so. Kids had manners and still went outside. Exactly! Today's young people are very uneducated. Formerly people had more education and respected other people more. I mean, today to be a chav and/or an uneducated asshole is considered normal or even fashionable! Formerly those people where considered scum and marginalized. Today's youth do nothing but drinking till they drop, they have no worries, such as studying to be someone in a nearby future. Today's ignorants are proud to be ignorant fools, decades ago they felt shame and tried to hide their ignorance. Education and intelligence are not valued today as they were before. Today's kids just stay at home playing Call of Duty, telling you they are going to f*ck your mom. Also, kids don't play outside due to a rise of crime and insecurity. Glad to know I am not alone, but you're a little bit hardcode, aren't you? I deeply miss the 90s and I wish I lived in the late 80s. I'd pay ANYTHING to travel to the 80s and 90s.

dudclub55 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I've been like you ever since I was 12. I've love love loved music from the 50-90s. To this day, Ritchie Valens' Let's Go is still my feel good jam. Most teens my age think I'm weird because I'm supposedly 'wasting my youth'. You don't need to be a retard with sh*t taste in music and clothing to live your youth to its full potential. Melech 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
