My opinion is, 1950s/1960s movies and muzik were divided in 2 categories:


* movie theaters grade color movies + background music for malls like Muzak


* soap operas on 1950s tellies + traditional pop on the radio, "adult contemporary" beautiful music/easy listening


Both were, probably, overused.

Besides, Star Trek and Star Wars have changed the game of drama by employing merch.

The baby boomers mostly grew up in the 50s which was a time when Hollywood was struggling. After WW2 people had largely moved out of the cities, where theaters were the largest form of entertainment, and into suburbs where they partook in other hobbies. At the same time, the television was invented and popularized, which added competition to the movie industry. Compare this to the 80s-90s, when Hollywood was having a boom with major blockbusters, and VHS made it so that people at home could watch their favorite movies again and again. The younger generations also saw the rise of streaming services, where companies heavily leaned into nostalgia for advertising. Subscribe to Netflix and you can watch all your favorite movies from your childhood!

For what it's worth my boomer parents are both somewhat film buffs, especially my mom, and they showed me a lot of classics and interesting older films. I don't think they are typical examples of the generation though.

>>317967
IDK, my boomer mom likes some grayscale movies.

Not sure if thats common to have a taste for Chaplin or Film Noire for a boomer though, as my mom has a taste for classical literature also

>>321528
*Film Noir

>How does this make you feel emotionally?
Meh
>How would you react to it?
idk
No use worrying about something you have no control over. We'll all die one day and none of these things will matter anymore.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to learn a 190cm chubby bucko with some "adorkable" features would be a model man, heh

>How does this make you feel emotionally? How would you react to it? The implications of this technology really bother me, but I know bringing it up in real life would likely make me seem paranoid,
You're not the only one feeling this, everyone is self-policing and keeping their gaze down.

Every lifeform invents AI and then goes poof in the collective choir of an apocalyptic schizo-material paroxysm. Like a flower.

I'm leaning into "the other stuff" more and more. Real estate, bonds, money market, CDs… I know it's leaving gains on the table but I like the idea of business and government courting ME to borrow money.

Yes. Social bullying, even moreso than bullying in general, is extremely feminine behavior. This is a thread about bullying and shaming, the two most feminine behaviors on this accursed Earth. If your stomach was not already turned by the feminine and sexualized bully-worship of >>319236 depicting the fictional bully-stereotype as a fantasy daddy-dom who is just there to fuck you straight yes daddy harder daddy, then I can't imagine being put off by anything happening in the orient.

>>319368
I have read that the verbal status displays are much shallower in impact than the social exile aspect, and are also part of the reason the profile of bullying victims doesn't span the whole IQ curve the way it does in the west. At least on a psychological level, since awareness of social exclusion does not stop when one is alone in a room and verbal sparring can typically be parried at least partly successfully if one keeps one's cool.

I have read that Japan is a shame-oriented society for most participants and especially for bullies themselves, but a guilt-oriented society for severe bullying victims. Since most of the society is shame-oriented any guilt-oriented section lacks either the tools or language to process this or to reintegrate into the mainstream. Which means that someone has to have quite a lot of social and emotional aptitude, above the neurological median, to ever reintegrate into society since most social deficits impede the ability to process guilt or to comprehend someone whose base values are completely reversed from your own. This being part of the reason "female hikkikomori" keep getting lumped into hikkikomori stats and the same as the reason "high function" autistics get pushed into autism stats–why just look, society's methods of treating hikkikomori or autistics involve X% recovery rates and future employment prospects that just happen to match these categories that everyone knows don't really reflect the general case, so we just need to keep funding and or keep paying the right professions and keep pushing them into servile forms of employment.

>>319368
>bullying in japan is also about intelligent verbal pushing of anything seen as strange or alien.
How could you bulli this face?

Plot twist: entertainment in Japan used to have "ippagusei" format, where just a small trick was enough to make a bored guy giggle

I don't even know who that is little zoomer, do you think virgin dudes just poofed into existence? You think terms for virgin didn't exist before 1997? Were you even born before the internet was omnipresent?

You're so desperate to be above someone that it's sad.

>>321494
>You think terms for virgin didn't exist before 1997?
Are you saying it's another synonym for virgins?

OP, i think you're self-sufficient and that's good.


>I suffer from social anxiety IRL
Wear COVID panic themed gear - mask, no-dioptria glasses and such

>I also feel little need to socialize.

I also don't add 'friends' online because people are annoying most of the time and they're jerks online. better be alone

Other than guildies in the WOW days, I saw no benefit. Occasionally I'd get a persistent coworker that'd demand it, and nothing was worse than dealing with coworkers off the clock too. I tell people I don't do computers now.

>Anyone else here has 0 friends/contacts
Yes
>on Steam and similar online platforms?
Oh.. no.

>>319536
Yes.


I have no socweb accounts.
