Adults complained about kids' sagging trousers in the early 80s. From literature it's obvious they've been doing it at least since the 1800s, probably longer. They can still be Hitlers while doing it but it's also a time-honoured tradition.

DrBouvenstein posted:Speaking of hairstyles, was there a name for that women's hairstyle trend where it would be pulled back, sometimes in a ponytail but maybe just held back with clips or something, but then the very front was sort of "poofed up", if you know what I mean? Wouldn't that be a kind of pompadour?

Thermos posted:I remember super annoying DRM becoming a thing in the 2000s. Like Starforce or whatever that one was that would gently caress up your PC, games that required constant internet connection for no other reason than DRM, music CDs that wouldn't play in a PC, etc. To this day I haven't found a CD player or optical drive that could play my copy of Mando Diao's Bring 'Em In, except for a player in a Toyota Corolla my sister had for like six months. I really liked this song  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Jmxyjrza5E

The 2000s were dozens and dozens of Hollywood movies that "everyone" watched and I just couldn't be arsed. Mostly because about 100% of them starred Tom Hanks, somehow. (Wilson there reminded me.) e: That was also the 1990s.

Argyle posted:I've been slowing re-reading Achewood over the past few months and imho it really holds up (aside from the earliest strips where it was still finding its voice). Some of the references are outdated of course, but a lot of the strips were still making me laugh 20 years later. It does a lot of the Dave Sim -type burrowing-into-its-own-rear end in a top hat orthography shenanigans that I hate, but only occasionally. And as far as I know, Frank Achewood never went insane like Dave Sim. I'm thinkin, for instance, of the couple with the chinchillas.

People have Brunkeberg Bears'd themselves into thinking "licensed" games were poo poo back in the day. No, computer games were absolute dogshit back in the day. Only maybe half a dozen decent or good games were released every year. Some of them even were "licensed". Like Dallas Quest.

I remember buying an issue of a foreign magazine with game reviews (Zzap 64) for the first and last time. I was looking at the scores and reading the reviews and going "what the heck I KNOW this game is dogshit and they gave it a 90? How can they print this?!?" With the domestic rags you might have had to wait a bit because game publishers would make all sorts of insane demands to send them preview copies so the reviews only came out after the game was released publicly, but you never had to worry about being left with a lemon if you trusted a review. And who the gently caress bought games at launch anyway, you bought them when they hit the bargain bins.
