If most of you guys saw modern 18-30 year olds dressing like this you'd all call them hipsters. But because the photos were taken in the 70s it's ok?Originally Posted by chronoaug
that's because there's a huge difference between doing something different at a time when it *was* different/shocking/eyebrowraising (in the 70s), than doing it with hindsight as retro-reference (hipsters today)

C'mon. I understand that. I was merely talking about the clothes/ensembles themselves. Also, i'd argue that it is as almost acceptable to dress like that now as it was in the 70s. It is perfectly acceptable within that counter-culture both then and now, although the mainstream views them very differently. I do agree with you on the retro-reference bit though. Also, props for the jonathan richman pic
He is a god. And also super nice. Seeing him last month was a great mark off my musical checklist. Still upset i had to work the night waits played in jacksonville. Would've been another mark off.

uh huh of course you doOriginally Posted by Get Smart
Oh that's right. I'm sorry for busting up the over 30 party people are having. I forgot you can't understand and appreciate a music/time period unless you lived it despite having not only listened to a majority of music from the era intently, but also written on it. My mistake. I just felt like breaking up the nostalgia-fest a little by playing devil's advocate.
