Popmusic wise the 1960s were 5,6 years of Beat, (Motown)Soul and Crooners (Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones). Around 1968, 1967 Beat/Rock (N'Roll) mutated into Psychedelic. Soul had an offspring mutating into Funk , and Folk got into the focus. Also, first prototypes of Glam and soon-to-be...

Me thinks, Hipsters are on the downturn. Maybe I am just not paying attention any more, but there seems to be a reduction of hipster's visibility of late. Or at least the Hispster uniform is in retreat - the younger bearded folx crew and all that.

Exacerbated by the fact that in 2017 it's almost impossible to actually make a living that way.

romanticizing being on the dole as a noble stand against capitalism? I have never encountered anybody doing that. In fact, all I ever hear when there's some talk regarding unemployment it's demonization of the actual people being unemployed. I give you that, Tea, this is coming from all sorts...

The only core of truth in this debate usually is, that there is a group of people working and a group on the dole and on welfare. I sometimes have to debate fools who are jealous and envious of the welfare recepients and I usually say, if it's so great, come on, what's holding you back? Sell all...

In today's western economies becoming unemployed isn't a "privilege" of the lower ranks of society any longer. The constant threat of "becoming redundant" has eaten deeply into the middle class. And together with this ubiquitous job-insecurity the pressure on the actual jobless and poor has...

Wanted to post something similar, namely: the 1960s - the last decade the working class (at least in the west) saw a significant increased income not only in absolute, but also relative terms.

Is (or rather was) Victoria Beckham a gentrified Chav?

An interesting and exact observation. The "work is oh so interesting and FUN" is of course pure propaganda and goes well with the fact (at least in my observations) that today work is being synonymous with office work and the actual "working class" has pretty much disappeared in the (semi)public...

Well, I am not British and Chavs were a British phenomenon in the 2000s so in my point of view asking bout them in 2017 isn't that weird

Do "Chavs" still exist?

And comeback acts of the 1990s

The mythical 1960s were the greatest decade in the history of pop culture, all the rebellious music, drugs and free love and all that. At least, that's how the greatest generation ever, the babyboomers, convinced themselves and even more the music journalists to believe.

...That crappy FB is STILL growing, and I am not referring to Asia or Latin America.

:crylarf: Superbly entertaining.... Any pigeon breeding club is run better than a "Trump Whitehouse" Thank heavens the propaganda offices are already preparing the current boogie men "threat" - Maduro and Kim Jong Un.

Yeah, the AI told zuckerberg that FB is a heap of blue crap and sucks

Current stuff from DJ Hell. I have a thing for late 1970s, early 1980s synth music (despite the fact I was still in Diapers or Kindergarden back then). DJ Hell himself got into music around that time ad is now back producing copies of that very same sound. He got full cirlce.

Jurassic Park is indeed set in the time of the movie release (somewhat) which was 1993. I re-watched it on DVD recently and there is this scene before all the action starts where they have dinner (and Goldblum is spoiling all the tech-naivety) and in the dinner room they got all those buisness...

I remember reading somewhere that U2 had a new album in the making in 2016, but got so disturbed by Brexit and Trump they had to stop working on it. Brexit and Trump are good for something after all :D
