Were the 60s actually like this?
Other urls found in this thread:
It's a bit of an idealization, but yes. The 60s were like that, the 70s were like that. Fuck even today is like that, just not as much. What else were twenty-somethings with no hobbies and no talents supposed to do besides have sex and do drugs?
*70s
Even the 1920s were like this.
i feel bad for people without talents/hobbies or even something like religion or philosophy to keep them going or look forward to every day. it must be sad to find that hidden behind all the orgies and weed
I don't know, I'd like some sex and weed.
I've already got hobbies anyway
That’s fine. It’s just when it gets to the point in your life where all you seek is dopamine to release you from the world around you is that it gets a bit wicked.
For most people? No. Hippy/beatnick/counterculture types were a minority that got a lot of media attention. The "squares" vastly outnumbered them.

go to church
FPBP
Art is an idealization of life. Sure orgies happened, but that happens in just about every time period, and artists like to play it up for the edge factor.
>teach high school
>think about what half the dead beat students probably do
>Get high and fuck
Yeah, sounds about right.
The other half are from such shitty homes they don't have the time (supporting themselves or their siblings) or the social skills to do drugs and fuck
I beat some of the well off kids do this too, but the best kids have actual parents that parent and care about their child's wellbeing so even if they do drugs and orgies, it is a responsible amount infrequently.
>tfw 6 months sober now
feels good man
Kill themselves, like im planning to do
Im 29 and have never had sex, done a drug or drank an alcohol. Did I fuck up.
I never really think about it except when people post those shitty "down to earth, realistic" indie comics that's basically the protagonist aimlessly wandering between random sex abd weed smoking sessions.
the sex part only depend on if you actually want to have sex
the other two hardly matter
Few or no STDs back then.
Good job on never trying drugs/alcohol. Shit is way overrated. Alcohol is just terrible all over and even "safe" drugs like weed can send you spiraling into depression and worthlessness real quick.
As for sex, I'm a year older than you so I'm a wizard now. I consider myself to have fucked up since I did desperately want to have sex but was too much of a pathetic loser (not to mention having undiagnosed and untreated crippling anxiety and depression all throughout high school and college). Never had a girlfriend, never kissed, all that stuff.
10 years ago I said if I made it to 30 without having sex i'd kms but these days I don't really care about that anymore.
Fuck no that's where the Christspoitation film directors went
Having binged the movie and the comic within the last week, I gotta say, the movie was a lot better and ambitious. The movie feels like the product of someone who's actually lived a social life and the experiences feel true to life. the comic just feels like some shut-ins fantasies. Which I guess is true since Bakshi is a lot more of an extrovert than Crumb, but it still I feel Bakshi brought life to the material Crumb never could.
>they're pigs
how subtle
I love how the opening of the construction workers has them talking about how the current generation of college kids thinks they're the first to fuck before marriage but then talk about how they did, it just wasn't as openly talked about. Really hammers in how stupid moral outcries about falling standards are.
wat about musicians
saved
Fritz chronology is kinda weird. the "iconic" stories are all him in college, but then theres a random story where he's a secret agent, then all of a sudden in one story he's married with a kid.
>What else were twenty-somethings with no hobbies and no talents supposed to do besides have sex and do drugs?
The lack of self-awareness is astounding.
I think it actually took place in the 50s, possibly late 50s
100 years later and we still fuck to hoppin music.
>What else were twenty-somethings with no hobbies and no talents supposed to do besides have sex and do drugs?
Same thing I do every night. Get drunk alone and wish for a better life that will never come.
Going to church with your pious and studious good girl GF, instead of wasting your allowance or job money on going to the malt shop and dancing to the jukebox.
>Bakshi
>expecting subtlety
The '60s were not like that except in the very few free love communes.
The '70s were not like that except in the very few elite dance clubs.
The '80s were not like that except in the very few ultra-rich socialites.
The '90s were not like that except in the very few wealthy urban rave kids.
I'm glad the 2000s and 2010s didn't have fantasy party culture that only existed for literally 1 in a million people.
No way it was the 50s. It was the 70s. The movie, at least.
I couldn't sit through this movie. It was like just too weirdly put together and nonsensical to watch. I got to like the church scene and just stopped
i grew up in NYC in the 80s, my parents grew up in NYC in the 60s, yes, this is an accurate if a bit exaggerated and stylized account of how it was. fun fact, The Warriors is pretty much the same way, my childhood was basically learning which gangs my neighborhood ran with and which ones to avoid and how to tell the difference, playing with my freinds was pretty much forming our own gang, collecting makeshift weapons, and defending our "turff" which was just the interconnected alleyways and maintenance areas of the apartment buildings on our block. then the 90s came and all that shit was pretty much moot.
Legit congrats man! I know how tough that can be.
I thought that the whole point of the movie was in showing how shallow and ultimately self-destructive young people and the hippie culture were at that time. How else are you supposed to frame Fritz inadvertently causing the death of the only person who showed him any kindness, getting high and basically raping a chick, and leaving his girlfriend in the desert?
That's the joke with one of them being Jewish, too.
>Yas Forums.jpg
Actually they do, 2010s is white chicks shaking their asses and rubbing them against black guys when the worst kind of "music" plays
>"Ralph Bakshi was born to a Krymchak Jewish family"
To be fair, Ralpher was probably just as anti-semitic as your average Yas Forumsster. He didn't really like anyone (though he clearly had a thing for black chicks).
>basically raping a chick
I thought they both consented?
>leaving his girlfriend in the desert?
I thought that was the Nazi rabbit?
>though he clearly had a thing for black chicks
good taste
No. An entire decade of time did not exist solely in a few crowded cities on the coasts, through a small group of people
Good job, man.
That's how it was in my town. It's why like eight girls in my grade alone got rendered infertile by an STD.
Same boat here, man, but I'm 26.
The real hardmode is finding a woman who hasn't done either.
Ralph has a thing for anything with huge tits. Remember the fairy from Wizards? Or any of the women from Hey Good Lookin?
>I'm glad the 2000s and 2010s didn't have fantasy party culture that only existed for literally 1 in a million people.
Who are you kidding? It was all about the club in the 00's and 10's.
Not gonna lie, user. That sounds kind of fun.
VVV This, sounds like the life I wish I had.
Bertha was best girl.
Greek era was like that. Royal Egyptians were like that. Roman era was like that. We definitely know China and India are like that because look how fucking many of them there are.
Not him, but thanks.
His pretentiousness and fashion are very spot on. Also are the comics any good? I've only looked at a few.
Isn't that a net positive?
that black magic
ahhh, have you considered trying heroin?

just fuck roasties user
no virgin woman is going to be a gf worthy person
it says more about how much of a cunt they are or they have some tied shut vagina that she wont go to a doctor about considering women with BPD manage to keep men around
