@___Sean______ @SaladBarFan Nah, the weather kind of sucks

@realEstateTrent There’s been an explosion in thrifting/flipping over the past 10-15 years. Lots of people trying to make money off grange sale finds, etc. Clothes, out of print books, all kinds of collectibles. eBay is bigger than ever.

@cowboy_postbop Nah, the serious Mingus fan would argue for something less well known like The Clown or Blues and Roots

@Noahpinion Serious question: does SF do any of these better than LA?

[junco subconsultant @parlance_common]

@ehlicita Myself and everyone I know who has lived in Oakland has been a victim of some kind of property or violent crime.

Most of these people aren’t “scared” so much as just wary of a place where you are statistically much more likely to be a victim than most other places

@ZaidJilani MJ was so big that people were still using his name as the generic example of a superstar 20 years after his peak

@venus_weeping Like many, many things, the “poseur” concept (and “authenticity” in music in general) was a mid-late 20th C phenomenon that some people convinced themselves was some sort of timeless thing, and the situation has now reverted to the historical norm

@GrowlerEnjooyer @unexplainables8 @mylordcod Are you originally from Southern California?

@rachcorrine Is there a pic here where the denim actually fits?

[junco subconsultant @parlance_common]

@nealjclark1 New as of, what, 1970?

@unexplainables8 Neither Gilroy nor Santa Cruz is Bay Area

[junco subconsultant @parlance_common]

@unexplainables8 @mylordcod “The” 17? I don’t believe you ever lived in the Bay Area

@DavidAstinWalsh “Late capitalism”

@MattZeitlin Part of it was just that in the ‘90s, there was nothing less fashionable than ‘80s music, so his musical contributions were downplayed. But by time he died, the (very long-lasting) ‘80s revival had been in full swing for a while.

@jrmamana I’m sort of fascinated by the phenomenon of bands that were huge in their time but seem to have been completely memory holed in the internet age. The Who are one of the prime examples of this

@minarchist9 @roryisconfused I thought it was pretty common knowledge that a large majority of Americans were weekly churchgoers in America in the ‘50s and ‘60s. The stats are easy to find.

Anecdotal, but both my parents grew up then and went to church every Sunday (and they weren’t esp pious families)

@centristpeater I think at least some of it is genuine in that a lot of them are young and live in cities where having a car is burdensome.

[junco subconsultant @parlance_common]

@minarchist9 @roryisconfused Yeah but the early ‘60s was at or near the high water mark of the mainline Protestant churches in the US, and in reality most of the characters on the show would have attended church regularly.

A lot changed over the next few decades.

@uncledoomer Weird question. @ just means “at”
