Is there any part of New York City where something like this still exists? Like the place for artistic people who do psychedelics and want to actually be in the real world not on their phones?
I've never been but planning to visit soon. I grew up out in the country isolated and bored af and I was always jealous because growing up in New York City looked like so much fun surrounded by people with the city as your playground.
The BBC are gods. Best docs ever plain and simple.. Nobody can touch them except HBO and Showtime make bad ass documentaries too but BBC is the shit son
This is My New York; this is what "I" remember! ….. well of course, I remember I'm now 64 & a former New Yorker living in a different state but you know the old saying "You can NEVER take the New York out of an Old New Yorker"!
Phyllis same here was born in NYC, jopined the Army in the late 70's, retired U.S. Army paratrooper/Infantryman, disbaled veteran, i loved the Bronx, it will always be in my heart, still talking with a New York City slang.

Old New York was great. Then Ghouliani looked to crush those with less wealth. And made himself out to be a hero. And after 12 years of Bloomberg. The city is more then ever for the rich and the hipsters. The people raised here have become strangers to the city. Punk's not dead, Disco never sucked, Rap once was great. But Hip-Hop culture continues to evolve.
It was great but while Guiliani and Bloomberg had an effect, greatness can't be sustained indefinitely, and was dying off by the mid-80s due to many factors including AIDS.
Exactly Dam Pham. Even though it was rough, but it was authentic, and real. Now its filled with hipsters pretending to be those, that were real, but fail. Gentrification is like a vacuum that suck out all the authenticity from a city and leaves it generic and plain.
I liked every bit until I went and got sick from the environment. I came back to my town which is remotely similar feeling like I got hit by a truck and that was after a year-
anita bryant true christian .... nobody points that out. she showed whats god true love about. she cried because that could have been a gun or bomb to her face. dosent mean because you live an immoral life we can't socialize or engage into a conversation
It was the resurrection of hip hop you could thank Thoth for re teaching humans the, Art rap is ancient. People get it real twisted here on Earth especially after the fall of mankind. The God kingdom is ancient is transcends all colors races but people go it twisted in this age they forgot and are now in the devils traps
Before there was punk in Manhattan there was The Saints in Australia, and before that was Detroit. New York never began punk if anything The Saints took what MC5, The Stooges, and The Flaming Groovies etc and sped it up. The Saints' song I'm Stranded was around long before anything The Ramones did.
LITTLE GHOST What, they both are a result of mainstream music marginalizing the group of people who are considered underneath for reasons that include classism and racism.
LITTLE GHOST Ok one what's with the sometimes in the parentheses? Two, your history of both is kinda. Hip hop developed out of the classism in black american music at the time towards the Caribbean immigrants. Those immigrants responded in the 70s after the success of the civil rights movement and slap a bunch of Caribbean musical influences on the African American sound present at that time. As for punk, it was a response not to disco but the developments within mainstream rock
