"If you keep acting up, I'll give you to your parents!" Soviet cartoon, 1979.How did some soviets become hippies if American culture was banned, how did they have access to information ?
>>518688016Hippy is just a synonym for lazy meat sack. What drugs they do. What their actual attitudes are. What they actually believe is entirely besides the point.
>>518688016Just like in communist romania. Lorry drivers, sailors, soldiers posted in other countries, pilots and plane stewards, anyone with any contact with the outside world would bring in western goods. Amongst these goods you'd get electronics and records. Once in the country the recordings would be copied on other mediums (recording tape usually) and spread around. Also boomers would get together in some flat and listen to records.In romania we had home grown rock, I think the early bands were contemporary with the heatless, rolling stones and the like.Basically culture finds a way and since rock and roll was a CIA and Tavistock Institute operating it was aimed at weakening the soviet union.Considering that Metallica has hundreds of thousands of mainly young soldiers in attendance for their 1988 concert in Moscow id say it worked really well as a subversive force or a show of cultural superiority. The soldiers at the show were more American than soviet in their outlook and aspirations. Kek also notice the lag, it was 1979 and soviet boomers were hippies (10 years after the Summer of love) whilst the USA was in the Disco era lol.
hippy culture is literally just drugs and leftismif you have drugs and leftism there is is going to be hippy culture
>>518688016>Ideology created by selfish lazy fuck attracts selfish lazy fucksShocking
>>518688016Maybe the lack of information led to them becoming hippies 15 years too late.Maybe it was the alcoholism.Maybe it was the fact that 24% of the population has Super AIDS.Slavs are just niggers in a cold climate, do not ascribe white behaviors to them, they are not.

>>518689493>everything is subversionSilly take. If post-war Soviet leadership wasn't retarded on censorship, the Union would have survived yet.
>>518689493We have, or atleast had thhe same thing happen in Iran. Spiked up faggy hairs were really popular in Iran in early to late 2000s while only popular in europe and America in the mid 1990s. The spiked up hairs were also almost like caricatures of what they originally were cause a lot of Iranians are low i.q subhumans. Its not the case anymore though as people have access to internet
All the Chinese at my last job dressed like preppy 90s middle schoolers in expensive but outdated 90s brands
>>518691552Theybhave their own fashion going on in china. The internet has made it so that cultural stagnation isnt a thing anymore
>>518690614Rock and roll was created by Frank Zappa working for the CIA in Laurel Canyon in LA and it was aimed at weakening the WASP leadership of America. It resonated in soviet union for obvious reasons.Care to dispute my thesis or just throw random words?
hippies in the east werent druggies you ignorant faggots, they were anti communism first and foremost
>>518689587>>518690029absolute retards
>>518690951Seems to be the case with strict countries isn't it?
>>518688016>how did they have access to information ?Contraband
>>518690614>the Union would have survivedNot really. Censorship was just a small part. Economic deficiencies were the big part. People don't eat steel!
>>518688016>How did some soviets become hippies if American culture was banned, how did they have access to information ?Voice of America radio.Sneak-peeks into cultures through smuggled and copied movies, songs, books etc.Being contrarian by nature.Pic related is bootleg vinyl copied on a thrown-away x-ray.
>>518691783>The internet has made it so that cultural stagnation isnt a thing anymorePoint to a post-2004 fashion, musical or atristic genre, or meaningful technology other than pocket computers.
They didn't become hippies. But Jews. Jews would hand type books ("samizdat") like Leon Uris' Exodus. Everyone then looked at the Jews' nationalism and wanted nationalism for themselves.The Soviet government made a huge mistake by going after the Jews.Just like now, everyone can see the american government has been exposed as a gang of homosexuals. Which is incredibly embarasing.Never ever fuck with the Jews
It was word of mouth.Jews would copy Vladimir Vysotsky audio tapes and then distribute them. He was openly talking about gulags, like about how his friend vacationed to Magadan (a labor camp out East). People and the government loosened up in the 70's, so you could openly talk about things.They weren't really hippies. The counter culture was all Jews. Jews collapsed the Soviet Union.Just like Jews rule 4chan today. Jews are the master race.
>>518688016There were big LSD lab facilities in Czechloslovakia in the 1950s and 60s. That stuff trickled out through the underground in the USSR. Freedom of thought always finds a way
>>518688016That's the fun part: It wasn't banned, just restricted. Soviets had access to plenty of American films, American music through Radio Free Europe/Voice of America, American literature, etc. Blue jeans and American records were hot black market commodities. One interesting thing about Western music in the COMBLOC is the punk scene. While in the West it was primarily propagated by leftists (at least until Labour took hold of Britain), it was almost exclusively propagated by fascists in the COMBLOC. The whole point of being punk before it was commercialized and commodified is to be the anti. Kids today don't get that which is why you see retards in their denim vests with BLM and antifa patches despite those being the pro, not the anti.
>>518693555interestingin my soviet bloc cuntry, the punks were anarchists and we had actual skinheads who were larping as nazis
>>518693675If I had to gander a guess I'd say you're Czech, Slovak, or Hungarian?>inb4 Albania or Yugoslav which weren't even Soviet bloc
>>518693782robmanian
>>518693868Strange, most Soviet era Romanian punk I've listened to was very much skinhead stuff, not anarchist, but I'm not Romanian so my opinion counts for jack shit.
>>518693915yep skins adopted punk "musical" forms and yet in the streets skinheads were stomping punks and calling them punksfunny how that worked
>>518693675They weren't larping
>>518694007as a robmanian if you talk about racial purity with a straight face you're either doing a comedy bit or you're retarded
>>518688016> bannedSoviet Union wasn't North Korea. Slavs aren't chinkoids, they want to enjoy the latest trends and fashions as much as anyone else. Children of engineer and technocrat class were all just as spoiled as in the west and were able to enjoy smuggled western cultural products through their parents' connections
