Trying to explain to a teen that "Grease" was made in the '70s but it was actually set in the '50s and that's two...

Eh! Tsk, you know, they were on my forhead all the time.. pff, I'll forget me own head next.

>imagine the 50's like fallout
>the 70's filled with hippies
Easy. Also stop talking to children

>mellenials
you are stupid

Millenials are 30

Pretty sure you're just talking to idiots if they can't tell the difference, regardless of age.

Yea, it's almost like trying to explain to an old person how to use a computer or cell phone. Piss off, boomer

And the fucked up storyline of the movie is if you change everything about yourself people will like you

can your old ass distinguish between movies depicting the 20s and movies depicting the 30s?

With a modicum of historical awareness and fashion ditto it's easy to see which is which.

because fine knowledge of fashion for 30-40 years before you were born is super common for teens

Lol the further away we get the less the distinctions matter. Do we worry about the subtleties of eras such as 1850 vs 1870 these days? A lot happened between then, but most of us are just "oh yeah it's all post-civil war".

That's what I did when I was a teen.
I looked the designs of the world around me.
Taking a basic interest in the arts and crafts of those who came before me.

ok so you were gay, that's cool but it's still only like 10% of people.

did you pick the two most radically different decades for a reason? that's the decade before the civil war vs. the decade after the civil war.

Well, the 1850's were traditional, in the sense there was a strict dress code for the upper classes.
By 1870, these changed, because each generation rebels against the previous, the fashion of this time was a hodgepodge of exaggerated styles, unheard of just 20 years before.
Yes, it's also part of history - read a bit man.

Sexuality has nothing to do with it, so no.
Taking a basic interest in the world and its history, yes.
If you're flirting, sorry, I'm very boringly hetero.

history about the 20s and 30s is knowing about the stock market crash or the new deal, not the minutia of fashion changes, except for the tiny number of people like you actually interested in historical fashion trends. that's just not common knowledge someone can be expected to have that far before they were alive

what you said would describe the difference between any two decades for the past 300 years

Fuck the minutiae - even a basic understanding of the generations before one's own should be enough to distinguish between 1950 and 1970.
Granted, once we get back to the 18- and 1700s the change is slower. the further back we more, the more clothing becomes practical and handmade, traditions dictate style. Except if you're upper class or royalty of course, there extravaganza has always ruled.

Try explaining that Olivia Newton-John is supposed to be 17 in the film but she was like 30 . Stockard Channing (Rizzo) must have been in her 40's.

Trying to explain to a teen that "Grease" was the fantasy in the last few seconds of life in the mind of drowning victim Sandy.

>read a bit man.
I read stuff that interests me. Not fashion throughout history. Simply knowing vague tidbits about eras over a century ago should not make you feel that superior. My point isn't no one can make those distinctions. It's that those distinctions matter less to... everyone... except autists.

Here's a secret, that was one of the most boring movies that I ever saw. It fucking sucked and put me to sleep.

Too big a margin, but I'll take it.
in 1910 industrialism started in earnest, everyone began making more money, while there was still poverty, things got better for all.
In western society of course.
In 1945, post war, industry was settled, but technology was beginning to change how it looked, mass production exploded, and so did pollution. London suffered from smog so thick it killed the weak and elderly.

Lol that's not hard to explain at all. We still do that shit.

... I guess that because it was so boring to me and I fell asleep I didn't see it all but then didn't want to. The story is boring as well.

You made a paper of this?
You're even more boring than the movie or play itself. You should be sad and kill yourself.

for an adult interested in the subject. e.g. i can tell you within 10 years when a picture or movie comes from just from the characteristics of the film and cinematography, but could i do that 20 years ago as a kid? shit no

that's not fashion trends.

I can't help if you feel inferiour, not my problem, that's your thing.
True, we are each interested in different things, it's just prudent to look at history, if only to contrast what has been to what is. Perhaps there's a connection there, or a theme in society it would be helpful to know about.
And there it is, having difuse knowledge of any kind and you're called autist on Yea Forums.
At least I'm polite.

but it's done convincingly these days.

>London suffered from smog so thick it killed the weak and elderly.

LOL

no it's not. you can still spot it from space when they cast a 20 something as a 14-17 year old to avoid the complications of casting actual minors, e.g. having to file the contract in court

Nope, I didn't make a paper, I just touched minimally on history. Enough to bore you, obviously.
You don't have to read my posts, you don't have to reply to them either, if you're bored, do something else.
Both points are good points. I'd be hard pressed to know the difference at, say 15, but at 20 I was a keen.
Fashion was reflected in the times. In 1910 clothing was practical and oft repaired, it was not really about being fashionable, except at special occasions (I'm giving the upper class a miss here).
In 1945, fashion was practical, but lighter in both fabrics and design, mass production had begun - proper suits were now affordable for everyone, an enormous middle class were booming, and suits were seen even on office workers.

When is Gozilla going to become a prancng knife weilding nigger thug?

Yes, that's... er.. funny I guess?

If you made a paper on something so boring I bet you got an A on it because it was so politically correct. What kind of cunt was grading that?

niggers gonna nig

Give the name of your teacher that graded that? It should be publically available.

You can't read?

You can't read either?

That means so much coming from your types.
So are you a cronie or a henchman?

Don't forget to explain that it was hollywood fantasyland set wherever in NYC on the West Side and that shit didn't really exist in the 1950s. Also explain that in hollywoodland there was and likely still exists, an agreement that means the so called bad guy always looses. It's social engineering.

... it can be taken also as the good guy always wins.

Millennials up to age 38 now.

Stockard Channing was 34 in Grease...

Like Bierce's An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge.

Is that where she got that horrible voice from?

Is this thread an advertisement for the remake, comeon people at least try.

I bet ho ho howard stern does it, it's called conversational advertising.

Yeah yeah dude, it is.

Are kids today not sooo into 80s stuff?

Cool bait lol

And anyone who doesn’t have YOUR knowledge is an idiot right?

Do you know that’s a mental disorder to only see value in the things that YOU see value in?

Like classics movies? You’ll like this discord discord/46DMT9T

Not everybody has an agenda.
Sometimes people just want to chew the fat.

What in the fuck are you actually saying

What paper are you talking about dude, so back and read it again.

Bigger question is why show Grease to a current teen.? Grease sucked. The world would be a better place had that movie never been made. Actors sucked, music revolting...the only reason it became big, is there was nothing else to watch at the time. They spammed you until your brain learned to like it. Olivia Newton John has 0 talent.
