Are you "stuck in an era" - Page 5

Havinfun · March 12th, 2017, 12:44 AM

I'm not, "stuck" there, but I'm definitely a child of the late 80s/early 90s. It seems like things started going downhill from there. I'm sure my parents probably think the same about their era.

I did read somewhere that the 90s was the "last great generation," but I have no idea why. (It was probably just an article written by someone from that era.)

I want to go back to the 70s so badly...

I find myself getting stuck in eras I never knew - or was too young to know. The more I look at old photos of places, the greater is my sense of loss of something I wasn't even there to experience.
Ever seen old photos of New York's Pennsylvania Station? Or London's Euston Station?
And those are only the more dramatic. Here in the US, entire neighborhoods were destroyed in the name of "urban renewal". Can you imagine the entire East End being pulled down and replaced with 12 storey apartment blocks? They did this to many American cities...

The Shootist (1976). The last great western that Hollywood produced.
Unforgiven (1992). Overrated. Above average at best.

The Zenith = 1965-1975.
The Nadir = ???.

Stuck in the eighties and nineties mostly with music. A Transformer toy, Model vehicles Nerds Candy, Super Nintendo, Playstation console etc etc. Just a rough idea of stuff. School was s*** !

Best era ever.

If like me, you've experienced Jimi Hendrix doing Wild Thing on stage, talked about film making and music with Mick Jagger, seen Jan Hammer, Eric Clapton and Keith Emerson perform and quite recently been to Soft Machine and Simply Minds gigs you might appreciate that over a lengthy period, there is always fantastic stuff around. I now begin to really like bands from the 80s (I often dismissed at the time) and my tastes continue to evolve. Yes there is plenty of crap on the radio these days and I can't stand like rap, but so what?

Who wants to be stuck in a past era, which has developed into some golden age you long to go back to? You have to make the best of everything.

As a child of the fifties, let me tell you:
the sixties weren't as full of free love and weed smoke as later generations imagine
the only thing memorable about the seventies, was that fashion looked even sillier then than it does now
the eighties...too bad if you weren't into cop dramas about maverick detectives, because there was nothing else on TV
the nineties, reality TV...'nuff said
today...thank god for Netflix!
