Are we the BASF generation?--------r1

Has anyone seen the BASF commercials? They don't invent new things, they just take old things and make them better. I've been trying to think about what makes our generation or decade unique. It seems like every decade has something, but frankly the 90's and 00's don't have much. It seems like we are marked by living in a retro world. We are trying to relive the 70's. I mean look at the fashion we have now. Mesh hats, shirts with stripes on the upper half, pimp like clothing, shaggy 70's like hair. In a way it's like we're taking what has already been invented, and just making it better! The prime example right now is Starsky and Hutch movie. Snoop dog is a way better pimp than any 70's pimp.

So are we the BASF generation? Do we have anything that really makes us stand out?

Date: 3/3/2004 9:59:00 AM  From Authorid: 13297    I think we are the "microwave" generation where everything has to be done right here and right now and of course usually redone, overdone or simply regurgitated...  
Date: 3/3/2004 10:08:00 AM  From Authorid: 28989    Our technology is surging forward by leaps and bounds, but our music, entertainment and fashion taste is definitely retro. I think maybe we're just plain scared about entering new territory, sort of like putting the brakes on the direction that technology is taking us. Also, this same technology is able to re-master a lot of old movies, TV shows, record albums, so we're always exposed to those things and are affected by it. This wasn't always true in the past. Old records were just thrown away, and old films and the soundtracks just sounded--old, outdated. Part of it might also be a nostalgic longing for a "simpler" time because things seem to be moving forward so fast and we're having a hard time adapting. Or I could be just plain wrong about all of those things, lol.  
Date: 3/3/2004 10:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 13297    I think Canoe has a very good point. Things are becoming very rapid and I think we are becoming nostalgic for a time when we could enjoy those forms of entertainment more be they old songs, movies, clothes, etc. We barely have time to live anymore...  
Date: 3/3/2004 1:08:00 PM  From Authorid: 27558    in this day and age its hard to tell anything.  
Date: 3/3/2004 2:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 38256    I think it takes time for nostalgia (sp?) to build up before you can really define a decade by a particular fashion trend, type of music or invention, etc. Who knows maybe in 20 years we will be the borrowers lol.  
Date: 3/3/2004 3:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 17081    lol...My neighbor just busted out his record albums. We were listening to Jim Groce in his garage. Let's see, we have satellite radio, dvd burners, cell phones that take pics, digital cameras, illegal music downloading. I am 35 years old and had way more fun in the 70's.  
Date: 3/3/2004 3:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 45630    Ummm it can be siad that the majority of rock music in the world created in the nineties was brought about by a rapidly growing world wide recession. Young white males were feeling like there was no hope. Banded together as the slacker generation they created a type of music namely Grunge. Grunge while having atrributes that are mirrored by 60's and 80's band reflected the times that they were in. Rather than wearing hyper colour or fluoro coloured clothing like in the 80's people were more likely to wear flannel and torn shorts than the previous years wear a good pair of jeans was sufficiant.

Date: 3/3/2004 5:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 22080    p.s. i believe we're the mall punk generation, buying most clothes from hottopic, flashing faux-hawks, messing your hair and calling it punk, mocking avril, i mean honestly  
Date: 3/3/2004 10:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 62146    I am not sure I was thiking this myself we have been reenventing styles and stuff latly I guess you inprove old styles and desighners get ideas for totly new ideas cause of it. in some aspects with stype we are the BASF Generation. But we probbly wont be the last either.  
Date: 3/3/2004 10:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 62146    Jestr has a point keep in mind they also mock 50 cent aswell.  
Date: 3/8/2004 2:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 48250    LOL @ EIMAJ...After that reply I don't need to say any thing....LOL
