People have made some pretty neat stuff in the last several thousand years or so and it's not my fault I just got here

Only if you're weird about it
Had an ex who was obsessed with the 80's even though she was not alive during that time and also refused to actually interact with the art of that era
It was very weird, like she kept asking me questions about what it was like to be alive back then (I was like two) while at the same time refusing to engage with the stuff I loved about it (NES games, Chintzy TV shows like Manimal and early Industrial music)
Felt like I was being examined by a British Explorer back in the 1800's
That is weird. I'm big on the 80s cause almost all my favorite stuff came out then but I'm also an Encyclopedia about the decade
One of my earliest memories is of an air brushed mural van in the mall parking lot. It had a wizard and a top less woman riding a Pegasus. That's the kind of thing you don't see much these days.
I feel like airbrushed topless woman riding a unicorn on a van is something that should have become millennial lesbian stereotypical.
holy fuck I SHOULD HAVE DONE MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION AT KARAOKE THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS DRUNK ENOUGH FOR IT WHY DIDN'T MY DRUNK ASS THINK ABOUT IT
nazi germany was before you were born
still feel cool about liking old things now?
Nah I love Golden Age and Silent Era films. Just don’t be weird or an asshole about it.
Watch some pre-Hays Code crime movies. Some of them feel incredibly modern in topics and tone and language. The Hays Code really fucked over artistic freedoms.
No, it's not weird to like stuff from before you were born, but that normalization only happened over the last 20 years or so. The internet has made it far easier to access huge swaths of that stuff than it would have been before. Older folks (like gen x and older) are more likely to see it as weird because they mostly only had access to whatever was contemporary.
heck yeah the 70s had some great music and fashion. peak han dynasty.

I really hope not. Most of my favorite music is from the 80s and can talk about artists I love going back to the dawn of music recordings. Same with film. Same with TV shows. I fuck with archival radio broadcasts. There is stuff I love and hate about any era, I'm not on the cutting edge on anything modern except for a few niche things but for older stuff I find that picking a decade and looking at everything a bit including the trash lost to time is both fun as hell but also grants fantastic insight. Love silent films, love early soundies, love weird early blues records or wack early 1900s experimental music that somehow survived, early jazz is fun, big band when it wasn't 50s dad music was cool af, obscure 50s rock that sounds like punk music, obscure 60s garage bands that sound like punk music, punk music, early industrial, disco, early rnb, 30s horror movies, 40s war propaganda, 20s German expressionism, the fucking twilight zone. There is SOOOOOO much cool stuff out there and if you look under the right rocks you can find shit from the past that you would think was done last week but no one gave a shit about at the time. Year of release means nothing to me other than how to approach it.
Only if you make it your only thing, tbh. And I say this as someone who likes a lot of 60s and 70s stuff, too.
not really. i like fashion that's waaay older than from the 70s
I actually went down the "classic prog rock enjoyer to djent fanboi" pipeline, and I still listen to a lot of classic prog rock, so definitely not.
Ney, not necessarily unless ye gimme further context
