In the 1970's-1980's USA had a series of fashion and lifestyle trends.
>Greasers (leather jackets, slicked back hair, drive in movies and milkshakes)
>Hair metal (self explanatory)
>Punk (self explanatory)
Around these times, what were the Russian trends found in youths? What was popular to wear, music to listen to, and how did the average youth/young adult look?
You understand that Russia was not capitalist at this time. Correct?
Everyone had a moustache/long hair
I was born in 90s so everything i can tell you can easily find yourself online.
I lived in East Germany and the styles were similar to West Germany. We got music and magazines from across the wall.
Yes, but surely you still had trends and styles? Surely post breshnev you had more personal freedom to develop unique cultural niches.
Imo music was better than currently
Are they listening to smuggled in rock?
I heard that was popular?
estonian music during the last times of the soviet union:

Honestly makes me angry seeing Soviets use American instruments
Makes me same way , when I see burger-made AK.
Are most people in USA lefthanded or something?
Majority of them were terrible quality copies with retarded build.
the majority who would be stupid enough to use AK are
This autistic look is kind of cute.
It's like commieblocks from early 80's
Look at this video, does it look asiatic?
Ussr was more western than russia. USSR was built on western ideology - communism, it was full of smart jews, baltic people, germans. Cities like Tallinn, Lvov, Riga, Klaipeda, it was all so western looking and it was on soviet territory.
Imagine people with names like Gustav Reingold, Rasmus Blumfeldt, Bruno Reuter, Edward Rosenberg.
Sounds kinda western, but it was people living in the Soviet union.
They kept European culture, they didn't let this land become asiatic.
Current russia is more asiatic, non-european, degenerate, dumb, anti-western than USSR ever was. That's the sad truth.

What?? They were from the 1950s. Drive-ins were we're still popular though.
I was just asking for non-political reasons. My old man is from Russia and in the 80's he was wearing jeans and sporting long hair, I just wanted to know what it looked like as a hole.
How about we all just take a break from the banter and have an orgy. I don't use condoms btw and I'm clean
Basically everything western (or what they seen as being western). beatles, pink floyd etc speaking about music and there was a literal cult of jeans
That's the answer.
Thinking people understand me.
As Soviet Union was more western than Russia, it also adopted and created European, Western culture better than current russia ruled by asian subhumans.
Same can be said about style, fashion trends, subcultures.
If you look at photos of soviet men, they looked much better than now, they didn't have degenerate gopnik hairstyle, if you put the in crowd of white americans, they would fit in.
Tarkovsky, Shostakovich, Sviridov, great minds from soviet era.
Modern subhumans living on this are not capable of creating anything similar.
What city are you in? I was under the impression that anything west of Urals and north of Samara was generally white, with the exception of churkas in Moscow.
Who cares if blue eyed rusisan "people" act like niggers or worst type of asians?
> What city are you in?
I live in moscow, that's one of few cities where you don't have problems for having long hair, wearing skinny jeans, not being bydlo. There are hipster places here, concerts of shoegaze, electronic, indie, metal bands which is not kind of music working class russians listen to.
If I go to village, or small town, I will find myself in desert, surrounded with poverty, aggression and misery.
Moscow isn't Russia. Moscow is the exception.
The biggest "lifestyle" trend was "stylers", youth obsessed with american post-great depression culture, with absolute adoration of jazz/blues music and horrible/tacky fashion taste that existed in 1940/50, at first they kinda semi-morphed into wannabe greasers but by the end of fifties completely disappeared. Punks and metal heads were minor thing since early 80's, since more and more of the west slipped into the country, which was a lot more lax about it, but never on a big noticeable scale, well until the 90's. Fashion wise it was all about the jeans, shit was cash, it was prohibited, cost a ton and everyone wanted it.
Moscow isn't too great either, as an outsider. The center circle is nice of course but the outskirts of the city are quite bad, reminded me of an American ghetto in a lot of ways.
I compare moscow with semi-african russian shitholes
