I think tvtropes once called this the '57 Chevy problem in period pieces: a film set in 1957 needs to have more older cars than new ones.

Jack Yan (甄爵恩)@spacehobo Or in Rocketman, 1980s cars in a 1970 scene!

Rocketman’s most annoying scene
Originally noted at NewTumbl, this is the sort of stuff that can annoy me in films. This is a scene from Rocketman, where Elton John (Taron Egerton) arrives at the Troubador in Los Angeles in 1970. Car people, spot the problems. If you're like me, you're going: Elton's in a 1978 Lincoln Continental

We constantly forget that there's cultural lag and that lots of people are too poor to constantly change with fashion. And in some cases still like the previous decade's aesthetic.

Aethelstan@mos_8502 John Hughes movie vs reality.
David 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️NB they/them@Aethelstan @mos_8502 They think we all lived in Pee-Wee’s Playhouse.
Ashley Porciuncula@mos_8502 That yellow tint all of our family photos had wasn't because of the film. That's just what everything looked like back then.
Anke@AshleyMarineP @mos_8502 and one reason for that being all adults were smoking cigarettes indoors no matter present minors or food...

Ollie Boermans@mos_8502 Absolute truth, my 80s were most certainly brown.
Brian MacDonald@mos_8502 The 80s really were rather brown, weren't they? No wonder all of us young'n's went for neon and pastels.
Hawkmoon@mos_8502 My room in the 80s did have some personality. It was baby blue with matching 101 Dalmatian wallpaper on one side, wood paneling on another, and orange and yellow shag carpet. I definitely didn’t have a bed that big. It was a hand me down twin mattress and frame from a cousin. My sister’s room was similar but it was pink with matching Strawberry Shortcake wallpaper.
BeeCycling has moved@mos_8502 Pshaw, surely every time the year ticks over into a new decade everyone immediately rushes to redecorate and replace all their furniture?
Yes, and eventually they run out of storage space and have to reuse stuff.

@mos_8502 yeah vaporwave is what 2010+ thinks what the 80's thought 2000 would look like.
Quite like .hack//Sign opening.

Elfi at Lamp Fairy Games@mos_8502 honestly I still kinda dig wood paneling. Doesn't feel as sterile as the usual eggshell latex paint on drywall I've seen for the past 20+ years
Choobs@mos_8502 yup - drab expanse of brown, as far as the eye could see

😻🇨🇦MimzyDub🇨🇦😻@mos_8502 I was a teenager in the '80s, and my home was something different. The basement had panelling left over from the 1970s, but my parents had more neutral colours for everything else, aside from my room and my brother's. We chose our own colours, which weren't like the '80s at all. In fact, our rooms were sort of like foreshadowing to the '90s. haha
Njord@mos_8502 the 80s were pretty bad on all sorts of levels. They weren't as bad as the plague ridden neofeudalist dumpsterfire 2020s, but they were still a pretty bad decade

generationX@mos_8502 Flashback to the real 80s😀. The wooden panels at the wall and ceiling were terrible.
W_Dräger 🦉@mos_8502 the second picture may or may not smell like cigarettes
Giles Goat@mos_8502 This is SO true, I remember the 80s as well as "the time we had practically ZERO money in our pockets", when an icecream was a "Sunday treat" ( and NOT every Sunday ) when it was a DREAM to have a computer at home when the only media was the radio/tv/magazines and we even had absolutely NO PHONE at home ( my grandma had one ) and doing a phone call was someway "exotic".

My childhood bedroom might not have looked like that ideal 80s esthetic but my clothing damn well did. 😂

Word of Mouth @mos_8502 YyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuP.
The '80s were basically just the '70s but the wood paneling and furniture was a decade older.

The Mane Six (Octo Version)@mos_8502 Second pic has a pupper and is thus clearly superior.
Hubert Figuière@mos_8502 I can smell the cigarette smoke from the carpet.
@mos_8502 Accurate.
@mos_8502 The one thing not shown in the actual 80's: The flecked brown ceramic floor tiles. 10"x10".
And the yellow and brown patterned linoleum
Okay, make that two things.
