I didn't really notice many of these threads in the decade from 2000-2010. They seemed to increase in 2011 or 2012. Why do you think that happened? Was there a shift in popular culture in 2011? Or do you think that 2011-2014 is still basically the same as 2000-2010? Do you think that technology and/or music has changed that much since 2010, and is that a factor?
Mostly, they are from people who want to know what the music scene or the party scene or the drug scene was like ten years ago, which predated their conscious memory.
I often think its because people hear so much false information about a year or time. When I hear about the 60's which I was a ten I I get a laugh when so many think it was full of hippies which is far from the truth in the vast majority of the country. Friends and I were listening to Beatles ;Dave Clark 5 while going to the beach on warm weekends and attending school dances each weekend and making the drag.being a kid during the 50's we realized now much life had improve over our parents who work very hard then ;altho many see only the civility and less crime in most of the country. Of course my parents where happy then because they had gone thru the depression and WWII and hard work with peace and freedom where good times.
It was bad...we used to be taken over by the P&C forum crazies and would have to chase them out, now we are being taken over by the entertainment and arts forum guys I guess. I see most of the threads at least are moving off the page.
See my thread on it as well.

Most of the 60s (and indeed, the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s, and 10s) were not much unlike the 50s in many areas of the country/world.

Guess I'm the first one to appreciate the satire here.
