remember when nostalgia was fashionable? those were the days, man. good times, ............good times.

nostalgia is out, retro is in

i thought retro was in and nostalgia was out

I thought we were all being ironic about the past?

that passed

I don't think "in" is in anymore

I think you are correct Rock Steady, 'out' is the new black

so...in is out and out is black? what about retro and nostalgia? are they out or black or ironic. or if in is out then is ironic, irotuoc? i cant handle this thread any more.
i dont think im hip enough.

I've been working 16 hours straight. So nothing makes sense to me right now. Stick a fork in me; i'm done.

Are forks black or in?

Heh, I find it amusing that the 'counterculture' is so mainstream now. Like, look at what rock radio plays. "Alternative" like... Green Day, Blink 182, Franz Ferdinand, or whatever other angst-sludge gets pulled outta the barrel. But the only thing it's an alternative to anymore is rap. Angst is the pinnacle of 'cool' now.

That's why I've seceded from my generation, and have "regressed" to the... Late 70's / Early 80's, I guess. my hair is more 70's/80's-ish than anything else, I just bought myself a new pair of really rad 80's glasses, and I listen almost exclusively to 60's, 70's, and 80's music. 'Course, I wasn't alive for any of it, but that can't stop me from trying, eh?

I find it ironic yet retro-nostalgic hip that you like 80's stuff. I was there for the original. It was a very disturbing time.

That's not true, it was OK.

The country was at peace and AIDS had not yet become a problem

People went rollerskating, and decorated gyms with crepe paper, and drove monzas and fiestas

Part of my love of the 80's comes from not having been there, I think. I look at a lot of it and laugh, but love it like people love retarded children. And parts of it I look at, listen to, then learn how to play. 80's shred metal pwnz, and I love hair metal, too (remember what I said about loving it like a retarded baby?)

Regarding the ORIGINAL post.


Yes, too real sometimes. I love to look in a persons face. I am a good reader of faces and body language. I can spot a good heart or a phoney a mile away usually , unless they are a good lier and I get mixed messages I may shy away.( irl)

Here in text, messages and impressions get mixed. I am a visual and feeling person and I am missing that vital 90 % piece so please be patient with me. I get it wrong alot probably.
