watching Once Upon a Time…. in Hollywood and just listening to how mi h the ”hippies” project their views on morality for the Vietnam war, makes me think that in this day and age I’m the same way with the Trump bullshit.
i don’t regret it at all.

I think I am on board with your assessment @ACTUALLYASLEEP
Four reasons:
* stylistic diversity: punk was born and commercialized at one end, hip hop at the other. We take this for granted today but at the time the jaggedness of going from the Clash to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the Treacherous Three, and ESG (all of whom they collaborated with at one point) was exhilarating. The sheer confluence of everything was unprecedented.
* MTV as a cultural force: I mean, it was called Music Television 😉 and this was its finest hour. The assumption was that music mattered more than everything else, otherwise why would you watch it?
* legacy icons: Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bruce, Bowie. I could go on. You may not like them all but you’ve gotta respect the bodies of work over decades.
* the roots of indie culture were born then: bands like R.E.M., Husker Du, Replacements, the Smiths and a million others were blazing a trail (radio, live DIY tours, etc) that created “College Rock” and ultimately indie and here we are today staring in awe at what they made from scratch.
The Reagan era sucked to live through but a lot of great music came out of the struggle.

I was a millennial hater for a long time but then I realized that for all their flaws they were the only thing keeping us from sliding into fascism. I cannot stop listening to Eminem, icona pop, childish gambino, and LCD soundsystem and daydreaming about being at a Williamsburg house party in 2012.

Theory of this moment for me: The British invasion stuck the first knife in, and hippies twisted it long enough to rupture the jugular

i’ve been looking for a dope vintage carhartt jacket for a while but most resellers put them for way too much, luckily i snagged this for a great price ($80) and im so excited for it to get here:))
just a reminder that if u want something, u deserve to treat u to it. work for the means and then relish in the fact that u earned it.
