Describe 70s Bronx. Do you miss it? Like I know it's renown for being a shithole for the decade but is there shit only a native like you could be able to appreciate, did you find it had character, etc.?
>the obesity epidemic didn't really start until [Clinton's] reign
Clinton's democrats popularized all the special snowflake issues like "autism", and "ADD", and attacked sports and athletics in general so they could justify pumping kids up with their prescription drugs.
HFCS was introduced in the late 70s and by 1985 it had replaced sugar in most things. Cane and beet sugar prices where high and corn being heavily subsidized made HFCS cheaper.
You get your ass ravaged with a killer virus, you move on. No masks, no lockdowns, no pussy condoms. Bathhouses open 24/7. Not pozzed? You will be, fren.
ny is gay as hell now and lost all of its 'soul', but the 70s-mid 90s was filled with crime and drugs but still a cultural influencer. Untill giuliani shut down everything, I dont even like clubbing but clubing seemed so crazy and cool. Pic related was a great read
Rudy saved that city, it was great heading to Times Square for the ball drop, visiting Fox News and Trump Tower, and going to the Times Square TGI Fridays for classic NYC pizza. Now that’s gone.
>Giuliani cleaned it up
Correct >its been decent ever since
Nah it went to shit the second deblasio took office and now someone gets killed on the subwat every day
Lol and now Eric Adams is doing what every single Black person does when they get a little power, immediately start stealing and hiring family members.
It's a dump but in a totally different way. It's been flanderized and commercialized into an ideal, touristy image, and prices have gone so absurdly up, there's only billionaires and actual hobos living in it.
Been to NYC twice. December 2015 and Dec 2018.
Never again. Food's great but overpriced af. Women and bawds aplenty but 80% of em are stuck up c**ts. If you're a lone traveler like me I would say to go there once for a solid week tops to get it out of your system and that's that.
Also, NYC pizza is SHIT.
SHIT
5$ for a double shot of espresso? Eat my ass.
It's mostly a tourist trap shithole run by actual commies.
Thinking of heading to Tampa Bay Florida next time i visit the states. Food and women good there?
Until Rudy became mayor you had tons of gangs everywhere. My Dad lived there for 18 months and said guys would run around the streets swinging chains and bats and shit. They even had a gang called the Acid Droppers who’d throw acid at people at burn them, and if you got burnt you were expected to join the gang. If you didn’t they’d melt you down to a skeleton in a big acid barrel they wheeled around. NOBODY stopped this. Sadly, this is the world Democrats create, I heard there’s a new gang there that steals babies and turns them into tiny suicide bombers, shit is wild.
>They even had a gang called the Acid Droppers who’d throw acid at people at burn them, and if you got burnt you were expected to join the gang. If you didn’t they’d melt you down to a skeleton in a big acid barrel they wheeled around
Aw dude, I watched a doc about this gang of Neo Nazis that would freeze their victims solid then throw them out of windows. And then there was this other gang called the Goblins that would throw bombs at unsuspecting people and turn them into skeletons.
It's his gang weapon cleverly disguised as a fashion accessory, when you joined a gang back then you had to choose something off the weapon table that you would carry into battle.
The Confederate Flag, up until like 5-10 years ago, was literally just a symbol that represented the South in the US. It was universally understood to be a tongue-in-cheek display of one's pride at where they were from, the South generally meaning not "urban". And since the South had a frick-ton of blacks, a large number of them that lived in other states were happy to display it because it represented where they were from.
It's only in modern times that people decided it means "I'm a racist that wishes slavery was still a thing" to anyone.
Also a general 'FRICK THE FEDS/CITIES' sentiment, which is why you can see it flying in places like Upstate NYC. It's an expression of rebellion too, rather than KILL ALL Black folk I HATE Black folkS LET'S BREAK BUCKS
My take exactly having grown up in the 70's. It didn't mean "frick Black folk" to us it meant "frick the feds!". Or at least "frick authority!" which is why it was on the Bandit Trans Am and the General Lee as Hollywood started trying to cash in on the sentiment
Laughably untrue. Southerners/rednecks always tried to argue that but no one who wasn’t culturally entrenched thought that was true. Just same ol racist shit it always was.
It's common in Buenos Aires too. They even use the phrase (in English for some reason) "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God", which probably speaks to them being in South America.
There is a docu called "80 blocks from TIFFANY's". It's crazy to see that a guy like DSR, black dude who went to prison, was thrown from a window by the mob, raped, was still alive into the 2000s and well enough to give a "where are they now?" type of interview.
Were there actually roving gangs of mimes and gay bikers and shit running around stabbing each other? No, obviously not.
But NYC in the 70s was actually as dirty, disgusting, and burned-out as it looks. Everything was bare metal and concrete covered in graffiti, and Time's Square was literally nothing but sex shops, porn theaters, and hookers and druggies. There was no "tourist" stuff, there were disgusting alleyways and barios and everything smelled like shit.
>Correct me if I'm wrong, but that porn theater in Taxi Driver was in Times Square wasn't it?
I don't remember specifically, but it could very well have been. Time's Square was literally a fricking garbage dump in the 70s, it was the polar opposite of the corporate, advertising-covered, Disney- and Time-Warner-owned media tourist location it is today. If any of that existed at all in NYC in the 70s, it would have been in the Upper West Side.
This is the only reason to be in 1970s new york.
I've been to CBGBs in the 80s. It was the real deal. Places like that don't really exist anymore.
>frick rudy for taking it away
I mean, it's pretty much coming back. NYC is a fricking dump right now, crime is through the roof, there's no cops anywhere, and nig-nogs are running the streets. Only difference is you can't get a gun and it costs 10x as much to live there now. And there's no porn or hookers.
>And there's no porn or hookers.
which makes it worse. you have homeless crackheads killing people outside of the disney store which is peak soulless instead of in front of a XXX movie which is the definition of sovl
Which is basically the way all major cities are going. Crime skyrocketing, blacks and psychotic druggies mugging and murdering people and smashing cars and shooting guns in front of big, shiny facades of giant corporations' tourist stores while everyone either just ignores it or films on their phone and does nothing because they might be next. The nightmare dystopia we all have to live with now.
>The actor that played Fox was supposed to be the lead character but got fired because he was such a c**t and couldn't even get along with his female love interest.
the Meat Packing district is the best example of how far nyc has changed since the 70s. Today its one of the most luxurious shopping locals and has the Whitney Museum drawing crowds. There are still some meat packers there, but its not like that.
>I know you >I know you >I knew I knew you...I knew I knew you. >But you aint you. >You can't be you. >We put you through the window. >There ain't no coming back. >This is really real world. >We killed you DEAD >There ain't no coming back. >There ain't no COMING BACK. >THERE AIN'T NO coming back
>>All right now, for all you boppers out there in the big city, all you street people with an ear for the action, I've been asked to relay a request from the Grammercy Riffs. >>It's a special for the Warriors, that real live bunch from Coney, and I do mean the Warriors. >>Here's a hit with them in mind.

Kek what a bunch of b***hes
They were originally meant to be more menacing and kill one of The Warriors. But things got all switched up when Walter Hill decided to kill off Fox because the actor pissed him off.
Everyone raves about how good this game is, but it's honestly nothing like the movie at all, much to it's own detriment. The gangs and characters all curse way too much in the game, and the violence is far too brutal and gory.
It's way too similar to Manhunt or GTA (yeah, Rockstar, I know), and is completely missing the corny dialogue, stylized action, and heightened sense of reality that the movie captured so well.

I liked the game but I see what you mean. Slitting people's throats felt a little out of place when the movie was mostly about brawling.
Also the game kind of fell apart once you reach the part of the story featured in the movie. It felt like an afterthought.
>>"Hey you motherfricking wienersucker, I'm gonna fricking slit your goddamn throat you son of a b***h!"
an innocent man in the head with a butcher knife, blood starts spewing out of his head >>"That's what you get you fricking piece of shit! Next time, I'm gonna kill your whole fricking family too."
Shit like that happened in the book. Also in real life. 60s and 70s NY gangs were horribly violent.
baseball furies best gang
Frick you, The Orphans are…y’know pretty big.
we really need them right now to smash all these woke homosexuals to bits with their bats.
They ARE the wokes
I liked the Saracens. One of the only gangs besides the Riffs to show the Warriors respect.
kinda fricked up they did all those suicide bombings tho
My dude, I read your post just after I replied.
Lizzies cuz I wanted to FRICK that one
Adoring this movoe since I was 14 and having played the game, if I wasn't a Warrior I would choose to be a Saracen.
The effect of the Baseball Furies is diminished when you notice that under the facepaint one of them is an old man.
You didn't know that it was a documentary?
Yeah
Born and raised in the Bronx, the 70’s were crazy and it wasn’t uncommon to see street gangs around
Describe 70s Bronx. Do you miss it? Like I know it's renown for being a shithole for the decade but is there shit only a native like you could be able to appreciate, did you find it had character, etc.?
larp. people this old dont exist

70s NYC was a dump but had cool aesthetics.

No it started under Reagan, though it got worse afterwards.
HFCS was introduced in the late 70s and by 1985 it had replaced sugar in most things. Cane and beet sugar prices where high and corn being heavily subsidized made HFCS cheaper.
Food wasn't loaded up with corn syrups and people didn't drink 2 liters of Dew every day.

You saying NYC isn't a dump now?
Dunno. Last time was there was 2013.
ny is gay as hell now and lost all of its 'soul', but the 70s-mid 90s was filled with crime and drugs but still a cultural influencer. Untill giuliani shut down everything, I dont even like clubbing but clubing seemed so crazy and cool. Pic related was a great read

i dont doubt you but in turn he destroyed the artistic and creativity of New York and turned it into another boring city
he also shut down clubs which was gay
How is any of that "gone"?
Dead, killed

A shithole with character, as opposed to modern day soulless clown world
I forget the name but there are some solid to great documentaries on youtube about the time. Neat stuff.
It was a futuristic dystopia like Clockwork Orange, ya pinhead.

It's his gang weapon cleverly disguised as a fashion accessory, when you joined a gang back then you had to choose something off the weapon table that you would carry into battle.
looks like Mexico city
Does that Black person have a Confederate flag on his neck?
No, that Black person has a confederate flag on his back.

The confederate battle flag is even used by some bikers in Europe. It's just a tough guy, fight-the-power symbol
yup, it was largely a symbol of defiance and heritage until it was wasn't.
It's common in Buenos Aires too. They even use the phrase (in English for some reason) "American by birth, Southern by the grace of God", which probably speaks to them being in South America.
they rocked swastikas and shit they didn't care

Lol, a motorcycle gang without the motorcycles.
That was the idea. NYC gangs at the time were aping Hell's Angels. It's the same reason they wore WWII iconography like swastikas and iron crosses.
Yes but most the homosexuals stayed in the village and didn't ruin NYC yet
Were there actually roving gangs of mimes and gay bikers and shit running around stabbing each other? No, obviously not.
But NYC in the 70s was actually as dirty, disgusting, and burned-out as it looks.

What do you get when you cross generations of apathy with democrat politicians and wave after wave of unchecked foreign colonization?
You get what you fricking deserve.
Yeah Giuliani "cleaning things up" was just aesthetics so more corporations could prop up fast food on every corner. It didn't help anyone.
Speaking of 70s NYC, is this worth watching?
its alright tbh, good period piece and gandolfinis son is good in it
No. Gay as hell.
It's great

It was worse , honestly. The South Bronx was a mad max tier wasteland in the 70's
This documentary has a pretty good picture of it honestly.
Frick I can't post the picture, but it's "Rubble Kings" if anyone is interested
That's what voting Democrat will get you.

Music instruments used to cost a ton. Even a "student" guitar would cost the equivalent of like $1200. It's only very recently cheap ones are decent.

NYC was a decaying dystopian frick hole in the late 70s and 80. Abandoned and destroyed buildings.
nyc was fun until they shut down the sex on craigslist. 2009-11 or so was damn fun for me just burning thru trannies off that site. Wild times
Uh, how did that work out STI-wise?
Was new York really that much of a shithole in the 90s? Wtf is a porn theater like?
They were theaters that showed porn. And it was more 70s & 80s. 93 they began cleaning all that shit up
The first TMNT movie is funny enough probably the last mainstream movie filmed in "old new york"

This is awesome and difficult. I got the Hi Hats but then the game crashed on this flimsy ps2 slim I had. Remake plz Rockstar.

an innocent man in the head with a butcher knife, blood starts spewing out of his head
>>"That's what you get you fricking piece of shit! Next time, I'm gonna kill your whole fricking family too."
Shit like that happened in the book. Also in real life. 60s and 70s NY gangs were horribly violent.
It still is today
>being so shit you get cut from the movie and erased from the credits
Lulz
New York City in the early to mid 90's was a kino as you can get
Also the best films that take place in NYC came out in the 90s
The Professional
Hackers
Ransom
Fifth Element
Men in Black
I'll be frank with you, the movie was complete utter shit. Bad acting, bad camera work, no budget at all.
It's because of the game people remember this movie so fondly.
have a nice day.
No you kys
You forfeited your right to live when you showed everyone your shit taste.
No kys right now
With taste like that he's obviously already dead....
Yeah, it was cool.
70s New York was kino, dancing to disco coked out of your mind, those were the days
Is that the place mobsters used to chop up bodies?
very close to it, yah.
It's in the near future, shit moron thread
It's strange that London became more dangerous than New York. It was for a while but idk now. Covid era makes NYC seem like Gotham.
Yeah before fricking Chudliani ruined it
what would have been a typical day for a baseball fury? were they drug dealers/thieves/etc? did they have a functioning business model?
>was
It still is.
full of violent clown looking freaks on every street?Still is.
the movie itself is nonsensical trash (even for its time) but I get the aesthetic appeal of it
All pre-90's movies are kind of nonsensical and weird. I chalk it up to leaded gas making everyone moronic.
for me it's the Brooklyn Banks
did the 'can you dig it?' guy feel like a loser being like 60 or something and being surrounded by late teen/early 20s streetkids?
I know I would
Cyrus was top dog. his age was probably to show he had experience and respect.
The actor; Roger Hill was only 29
Yeah, but all the gangs were blacks and Puerto Ricans.
t. dad was a transit cop
