Disagreement with statements of absolute facts. But then the statements change, so, I guess it's a moving target of conversation.

[quote]Poly doubleknit was definitely past it's sell by date in '82. My K teacher had an amazing double knit pant suit in sea mist green in 1977, and as much as I loved, loved, loved that get-up, even as a five-year-old, I knew poly doubleknit was gross.[/quote]

Sure, for most people. But there are always subgroups of people whose clothing would be considered gross and weird by the kids. The elderly, small-town unhip mid-America, the socially awkward. Plenty of people still had these things in their closets, and some sill wore them while the rest of the world had already moved on. Same as always.

[quote]Are we just bashing jumpsuits again?  They come come and go, pick your side, you'll get a chance to argue pro/con every ten years.[/quote]

And they were still there in the early 80's. That's all.

[quote]Is it really surprising that a car chase movie had a woman in a supped up mechanic's uni?  Agree, not real life.

Why is it supposed to be convincing when you (or another PP) posts from entertainment media to show "what was really going on," but when there are counterexamples from the same time period, suddenly that isn't real and not reflective of society? Just curious.[/quote]
