Much like there are many movies now written to take place prior to the invention of cellphones because they would break the plot.

David Bowie was doing Glass Spider and Tin Machine and was terminally uncool. It took a while for us to forget.

Reminder also that when Bowie played with NIN people literally walked out after Reznor's set. Gen-Xers were plebs.

Ugh DAD youtube.com/watch?v=HuhA6EPpBVo

Pretty simple, the same way kids posting on this board who are zoomers born after 2000 dont know x band

because he's radio music for your dad not anything you would ever actually listen to
first time i heard bowie was when he died - not impressed

Well I'm glad people have forgotten garbage such as Oasis or U2

nice zoomer pasta

it be like a kid from today not knowing who 2Pac is

I don't know who 2Pac is. I understand he's a rap musician, but I've never heard his music.

most people in the 90s thought the man who sold the world was a nirvana song

you'd be surprised.

>garbage
>u2
thats like one of the only good rock bands of the 80s and 90s

Me neither, never have. All else I know is that he was killed in a the typical black fashion.

David Bowie is/was way bigger than Tupac

Also that Under Pressure was a Vanilla Ice song
Basically if you see a Gen-Xer you should spit on them.

2Pac was literally unknown outside of America.

vanilla ice is based

Oh boy. Yea Forums is going to jump on your throat dude.

x band sucks!

Name some better rock bands that aren't guns n roses from that time

i don't know dad you're the authority here

There was no internet back then, it was very easy to not know things.

True, imagine how retarded people would be nowadays without internet
they are already retarded with it

movie is good by the way and has some nice cineamatography

I wanna see this movie

If the internet didn;t happen and what 2010 looks like

I watched this as a teenager and it had vert deep impact on me. David Bowie's Heroes was my first contact to indie music and it blew me away with how good it was. I definetly feel that this movie made me experience my youth years on a deeper, more sensual level.

you couldn't just google music lyrics like you could now. even if you had heard a bowie song before it doesn't mean you would know who he is. 90s was a low time in bowie's popularity too.

Cool, it's my favorite bowie song, really great. his entire album low is actually underrated as fuck too , movie does have a good feel to it

faggot

It would be like 2000's expect even more plastic, disposable and cheap. Also more sex among young people.

The onions is strong with this one.

look at these manchilds. So insecure about having feelings.

Yup. I watch that flick and imagine what it'd be like to have had friends at that age.

Does anyone else spend all their 'brain off' time day dreaming about being part of the friendship circle of any recently consumed media?
When I'm lying in bed at night, or driving to work, or doing the repetitive parts of my job, my mind just gravitates to delusional fantasies of myself as a character within a fiction I've recently been exposed to. I imagine myself as a functioning part of that friendship circle and imagine the life I might have with those people.
Sometimes I even imagine a real life situation, think about what my life might be like if I'd kept in touch with my friends from school. I could spend hours daydreaming like this, and it actually makes me happy. It's sad to say, but I feel like the life of my delusion is somehow more fulfilling and even more real than the reality of my life.
It makes my loneliness hurt far less when I can just escape into my imagination and live a totally different life. Sometimes I'll get so invested in the dream that when I come back out of it it takes me a while to remember which life is real and which life was an imagined, ideal construct.

Anyone else ever do this?

>Sometimes I even imagine a real life situation, think about what my life might be like if I'd kept in touch with my friends from school.

Shit like this is always a gamble. I started trying to reconnect with some friends and their lives are just all over the place. Some are junkies, some are whores, some are alcoholics, some just try to make ends meet and are just barely holding on and so on. Even when I try to find new friends for some reason the most social people literally always end up being the ones that are the worst off.

I only vaguely know he was a rapper that got shot and im 21.

>Bowie
>indie music

ok gramps so "indie music" doesn't mean independent lable or whatever, it means stringy strangy guitar music
got it?

if you could even make it through this cringe movie i applaud you

Because it was the 90s and bowie was fucking invisible then

Did anyone say Misfits???

The Berlin Trilogy overall is pretty good.

Oasis were based though.

who's x band?

I mean i was a teenager, not sure if i could connect with the characters or the setting anymore now that i'm 25. Life isn't as awesome anymore in general.
