Quoting: Anonymous Coward 985286Today's world is nothing like the 50's. . So did I and I completely agree... today is nothing at all like the 1950s. Yeah, but the OP did a good job of pointing out some similarities. But, OP,they are right it's nothing like the 50s. It doesn't feel like it at all. To me, it seems like the 20s and 30s. It just feels that way, but I don't know, I wasn't alive then. |

They're long gone, except for China. Old MacDonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o. And on that farm he had a cow, ee-i-ee-i-o. With a moo moo here and a moo moo there Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo moo Old MacDonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o. |

As a child of the 80s, this seems like a soulless, mechanical version of the 80s How so ? Well, in the 80s we had fun but it was a fun that came out of the realization of technology and music and a world that was more at peace. Walls fell down literally and figuratively as self-exploration (not the 60s kind) and self-expression was raw and open and.. fun. This version of the 80s has the same look and feel (leather, punkish hair, similar electronica music, etc) but the fun seems 'fake' or 'rushed'. I think there may be many people in various industries that are reliving/rebuilding the 80s they loved, but it's a carbon copy of it. The fun is 'different' and I'm not sure how. Even the kids sense it. |

OP, you obviously never lived during the 50s. I'd take them any day over what we have now. We used to laugh at all those tv shows with "normal" folks panicking over events. I never knew anyone with a fall-out shelter. Aquarius is right...no comparison. |

People are still having 'fun' however fake it seems, but now there is an apprehension....like it is fake...like everybody is posing.....saying "look at me" im having sooo much fun.....and it almost seems ....planned. The 80s fun wasnt planned....and most of it was ...real fucking fun!!! organic by nature....look at the band poison!!! that was fun and thats all they were doing...same as motley crue.... but today, the "FUN" is mixed in with all this REAL SHIT going on.....wars, sept 11, terrorism, recession turning into depression, climate change, Hurricanes, the death of the middle class, and now..the GOM. it goes on and on....how can anybody have FUN, when all this shit is going on?? The younger generation, like 15-25, is going to turn out some really funky things...thats my guess.... |

It used to be that someone became famous because they were special. Now people are considered special just for being famous. Fame, itself, is now a moral good in this country. It's its own virtue. |
