Lmao what even is this fanfic of a show
>1980s, middle of nowhere Indiana
don't forget season 1 the kids have Evil Dead posters and shit even though no one cared for that until years later.
They always do this with shows about the past. le time you wish it was but wasn't. They say freak instead of gay. Don't even get me started on that fear street shitshow where they all talked 2020 in the early 90s and the black kid listened to white zombie
The Thing too. That movie made negative money in the 80s. Frick outta here with that.
>don't forget season 1 the kids have Evil Dead posters and shit even though no one cared for that until years later.
It cost about $350,000 and made around $2.5 million in the US, something like 29 million worldwide. Though it developed a big cult following over the years, it was very much a success from the beginning. There's a reason it jumpstarted careers and got multiple sequels. Furthermore, season 1 was set a couple of years after it was released.
It doesn't need to have mainstream acceptance for a particular person to know about or like it
This is true. Though hilariously, they did in fact have mainstream success. So the original argument is entirely moot.
>normie zoomer homosexuals don't know how literally anything works
cult movies and artists are always hugely popular with arty types immediately, and that word of mouth slowly grows over the years into the mainstream
you think literally nobody saw evil dead and it just spontaneously became famous for no reason years later?
use your fricking brains, you pathetic little twats
>you pathetic little twats
Lmao it's just a TV show you gay.
anons get their first grey hair and start larping as a grumpy old man, its really quite pathetic
>zoomers larping as millennials
>millennials get annoyed
>omg chillax grandpa fr fr
frick off, homosexual
bruh no cap youre bussing hit the dab and chill
That's kind of the point.
It's a 15 year old teenager, 15 year old teenagers don't dig for stuff it would have to be directly provided to them, which Bush wasn't in the states
>15 year old teenagers don't dig for stuff
when I was 15 they did
Clearly you're not a normalgay since you're on Cinemaphile
>Cinemaphile is le deep web
it's 2022, Cinemaphile has been all normalgays for like a decade already. shit's like saying 9gag is 2edgy4me.
I'm losing braincells reading this moronic fricking thread
you're entirely wrong, just because you were a normie when you were 15 doesn't mean there weren't kids super into music and movies and art already
She lives in poverty with her drunk mom, how can she even afford the player?
>just because you were a normie when you were 15 doesn't mean there weren't kids super into music and movies and art already
She is a normie, she isn't that type of kid
And even the kids that are don't really develop a deeper taste until the reach college age. It's mostly the well known "edgy" stuff promoted they're into
>even the kids that are don't really develop a deeper taste until the reach college age. It's mostly the well known "edgy" stuff promoted they're into
again, you're wrong, you were a normie kid, you have no idea, shut the frick up
In the first episode, Joyce explicitly says that kids call Will a gay.
Billy's father also calls him a homosexual in season 2.
>They say freak instead of gay.
This is hilarious. A movie where kids actually talk like they did in 2002 would never be made. It would make a 90s Tarantino movie seem tame.
Are you out of your fricking mind? Evil Dead was pretty big where I was from. We snuck into see it. I was like 11 years old. Oh back then, 11 years olds would get dropped off at the movie theater and picked up after the movie. Same with Poltergeist.
>edgy hipster teen gravitates to an obscure artist
Sounds about right.
Nobody knew what was obscure back then
>young redhead actor
>jews force her to kiss a Black person
The album it was on came out in 1985 was successful in the US, the single was her first song to make the US charts in 7 years, and the show is set in 1986. Hardly a stretch.
She got tv time on 120 Minutes in 1987. It's not so far fetched.
PBS stations routinely air British cultural stuff, especially back then.
I don’t know whether they would have aired The Sex Pistols, but they would have aired Kate Bush, since her videos had the same aesthetic of Dr Who from that period, and PBS was definitely airing Dr Who.
She's from California though
College radio was a thing in the 80's, even in the mid-west. Not to mention MTV. It's plausible.
In fact, Kate Bush was one of the first artists to ever appear on MTV when it first launched.
College radio would be playing early alternative rock like IRS era REM not art pop
There was a lot of that and early U2 and a lot of names forgotten. A good college station played a little bit of everything - punk, metal, rap, reggae and jazz too. College dj's in the 80's were hipster as frick. This could be a good thing - if the music was good, but never heard on commercial radio it got played. If it was popular at frat parties, it got played a lot.
Anyone in the 1980s with access to a record store would be able to find and listen to Kate’s albums, you dumb moron
5 seconds on Google will show you its placement in a bunch of US charts at the time.
>1980s, middle of nowhere Indiana
>Basic b***h teenage girl fraternizes with a Black
i grew up in the US in the 80s and got a handjob from a girl while listening to kate bush but it was actually 1991
Still have no clue who kate bush is, did she do 9/11
No, she did Babushka.
Kate Bush isn't obscure, moron.
>Basic b***h teenage girl somehow knows Kate Bush and it's her favorite artist ever despite Bush never making any significant traction in the US
They were selling this album in the Earlham College bookstore at the time and she was on MTV pretty quickly
BUT YOU'RE A ZOOMER AND KNOW EVERYTHING, AMIRITE
Running Up that Hill was a Top 40 hit in the US in 1985, and the Hounds of Love album peaked at #12 on the US billboard charts that same year.
Running Up That Hill and Don't Give Up both got significant airplay despite charting just shy of top 20 to low respectively on the hot 100. I remember the video for the later being on Friday Night Videos.
I swear bitter millennials who weren't even alive in the 80's forget what it was like to be a teenager.
You guys may be forgetting, the kids' science teacher was into this kind of stuff, they show him watching The Thing w some hoe. They were close w him too, so it makes sense they may have heard of some stuff through him
It went to #30 in the US. This shit was on American Top 40 with Casey Kasem.
