I love period works based on relatively recent decades that are built entirely out of the childhood nostalgia of the people making them, and as such end up being just as much time capsules of the time they were made as the time they're set.

Like. I don't know if I'm wording this right. But "show or film based on a particular decade but entirely from the real memories yet flawed nostalgia glasses of a writer who was a kid at the time" is always going to be very much a product of its time. Like. Grease and Happy Days, both set in the 50s, could only ever have been made in the 70s and early 80s. Hairspray (the original film) and Heartbeat, both set in the 60s, could only ever have been made in the late 80s and the 90s. Ashes to Ashes, set in the early 80s, could only ever have been made in the late 00s. And Turning Red, set in the early 00s, could only ever have been made in the 2020s.

Because none of those works are true accurate depictions of what those years were objectively actually like. They're true accurate depictions of what those years felt like, if you were twelve at the time.

And that's something future generations of writers are never going to be able to quite emulate in quite the same way.

[yioh]

it’s so crazy and dystopian that average conversations these days on social media are abt whether or not a group of random ass people have the right to be alive or if they should all just be indiscriminately murdered and bombed and die the most painful death

In praise of Dad Jeans, an older short article, but makes the case well.

It needs to be harder for American apocalyptic or disaster movies to be made

i’m not joking if anyone cares about the Imperialism of the United States i really recommend this book

It touches on subjects like military state, the treatment of political prisoners, sterilization of women when testing the birth control ya’ll love so much, testing cancer treatment and radiation on prisoners and poor country folk, injecting lethal carcinogens to said ppl in order to test radiation, the CIA blackmail to prevent our independence, the killing of puerto ricans in the States military just to create a narrative, massacres by the states, the gag law that prevented us from even raising our FLAG and much more. 

its INFURIATING that this happened and IDIOTS in the island want to become a state. ALSO that gag law is the reason we Puerto Ricans are so obnoxious when it comes to our flag, WE USED TO GET ARRESTED AND KILLED FOR IT.

Being a musician is weird because you make one good connection and then suddenly you’re like. One degree of separation from like. Famous people.
