>Future Marty is supposed to be a loser, even though he was employed, had a family, and his own house.
I don't get it. Was being average looked down upon in the 80s?

>Was being average looked down upon in the 80s?
Yes, yes, yes. Exactly this. That's what made the 80s so great, "average" wasn't enough everyone strove to be the BEST. Competition breeds superiority.
I'm more annoyed that Michael J. Fox looked 40-45 and he was supposed to be playing a teenager.

He was a loser because he was an easily provoked pussy.

And how did that work out for people in the 80s?
>>69799994
It was all a facade to boost America's ego. In reality, those who had the means did well, while everyone else was waiting in the unemployment line, or had their money stolen in the Savings and Loans crisis.

He worked at a shoe store. That makes him a loser.
>>69800417
It worked. The 90s was one of our best boom periods. Shame it's been such a bust since.
>>69799994
Pretty well except unfortunately 80s people were not so good at raising kids and so we ended up with the millennials of today. We gave them everything and they learned to be entitled to more, they ended up a bunch of whiny privileged shits who never knew adversity so they had to manufacture it on twitter and tumblr.

Go to bed, gramps.
80s saw a huge rise in counterculture and anti-conformity media, I guess as a reaction to the message of unity that was enforced in the 50s and 60s especially
>>69799994
Gee, they won the fucking Cold War, so I'd say PRETTY GREAT.
>>69800643
Goddamn shame we don't have more good cyberpunk tv/film than we do. I wish someone would do a new series around Gibson's work, even the Keanu Johnny Mnemonic film was somehow enjoyable in spite of the terrible acting.
>>69799382
Thank you President Reagan
>>69799337
He had no confidence, that was the point of the movie - Marty gaining confidence
>>69800643
There was counterculture, but there was also a prevailing capitalist-conservative image that was popular. Michael J Fox's character on Family Ties was a worshipper of the free market and ronald reagan, and made fun of his hippie parents. You could say that this was the counterculture to the free love liberalism for the 60s and 70s.

How on earth did you even jump to that conclusion? Why are bernvictims always trying to shoehorn Trump into everything?

4chan is made up of bitter assblasted basement dwellers who by their nature are contrarian.

>The world that I isolate myself from with my shitty personality and blame for all my problems elected a left wing president? CAN'T STUMP TRUMP!
It's not maturity. It's the opposite. Childish knee jerk reactionary bullshit coming from bitterness and emotion rather than logic.
>>69799337
sort of. they were middle class but clearly of the lower average sort. their window tv thing was broken and they clearly dint have the money to fix it, everything was super convenience, and marty broke his hand and therefore fucked up his dreams of being a musician.
considering marty was all about wanting to be a rock star, ending up in what seemed like a dead end office job was a nightmare future for him
>>69800892
wut

>>69800534
>shoe store
I think it would be different if he owned the place. to be honest, a lot of shit about that show didn't make sense. the biggest elephant in the room was that he owned a home, in chicago, while working part-time as a shoe salesman. None of his kids worked until later in the series, and he sent one of them to college.
literally where was the money coming from?
>>69800609
BLOWN THE FUCK OUT

The point was his hubris killed his dreams and he had to settle for a shitty office job because of it, then Needles, who he caved to once and it killed his dream, he caved to him again and it got him fired from the job he didn't even want
THAT'S why he's a loser
>>69799337
>he was employed
He was fired, and even when he had a job he was just a pussy slave of some Jap.
>had a family
His son was an easily pushed-around loser and both of his kids were about to go to jail. He married his wife in the Chapel-o-Love and she likely resented him at least a little.
>his own house
He lived in a shitty house in the crime-invested backwater district.
I suggest you actually watch a movie before shitposting about it.
>>69801661
There was a time when you could totally afford a house like that working at a shitty shoe store
That's how far things have gone to shit; even having a masters in engineering wouldn't get you that house today
>>69800892
>Biggest loser on TV in the early 90's
>Large house
>2 healthy children
>Hot as fuck wife who wants sex constantly
>Car
>Low responsibility job but can afford all of the above
Now you know why "Make America Great Again" resonates with so many schlubs.

Uh counter culture was a product of the 60s and 70s. The materialism of the 80s was a reaction to that. And 90s grunge a reaction to that.
