    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Thank you someone who has the courage to speak her mind. Once again you have captured the spirit of why many of us come to The Fedora Lounge I will tell you something else I do not have to "take my hat off" to blend into any crowd. The fact that I am in the "crowd" is enough....;)

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    Nicely said. It is also about live and let live. The fact that I choose to live a particular lifestyle is entirely volitional. There are those who will like, dislike it and those who simply do not care. However, with whatever I choose I assume the risk inherent in that lifestyle.

    What are you talking about???? It appears you want to get personal...PM me I have no problem discussing my "way" of life. Clearly from the thread where you are a bartender I am living an aspect of vintage. Moreover, my manner and way of being may be more liberal than most, but , them again I am...

    Not that I recall........if you have an example then I naturally I will rethink my statement.[huh] [huh]

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    I have never heard a derogatory name thrown my way....If they have been said it has been out of ear shot. I get compliments and nice looks. I appreciate what is offered. Therefore to single myself out as an *whatever term is used* is tantamount to introducing myself as my professional title...

    Peace Brother James...:p :p :p lol lol Yes but that word *yucky* Atavist does.....in so many many ways....separate us from the rest more than describes what we are or do....it singles out people to be ridiculed. If you think Inspector Gadget is bad wait and watch. The word singles people...

    That word Atavist- speaks to the reappearance of a characteristic in an organism after several generations of absence. Just makes me want to reach for a can of Raid. Now back to your statement. In this isolated context yes of course. Take a look at the myriad examples given in prior posts...

    That is why accuracy should be a consideration. Don't forget the "Fordham Baldies" The Fordham Baldies were reputed to shave the heads, and other body parts, of those they caught. This was found to be a nice touch in the Wanderers movie, but in reality, the Fordham Baldies were named for the...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    I could not agree more...........but that is not what is being discussed. Create a new word if you will, use irony, use metaphor but do not use an apple to describe an orange. As far as conventional assumptions this forum(see previous posts in this thread) are alive and well. Whatever term...

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    I agree ........A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Or someone dressed from another era would still be out of time no matter what they call it. Yet there is an exact term that can be used here.

    Retro-extremists? What are we called?

    You have the black letter definition. Create a word that or phrase that fits using "anachronos" as in "The Anachronos Society". In my experience using a word of phrase that most accurately describes what a person means is always better than using a word or phrase that somewhat describes what...

    Jack that is the definition of anachronism. While I am coining the phrase "Anachronist" I am stating that it describes the person who lives the anachronism. Merriam Webster Main Entry: anach·ro·nism Pronunciation: \ə-ˈna-krə-ˌni-zəm\ Function: noun Etymology: probably from Middle...

    Jack you are narrowing the the scope of your search which I support. If you want to broaden your search to include all people who live in certain periods and attach one descriptive word that is fine. However, more direction from you is needed. Are you talking about this..the placing of any...

    Chrono Crusaders The Chrono Crusade is set in the height of the Roaring Twenties, where jazz is king, bootleg liquor flows freely, and the mob rules the streets. It is a time of prosperity, luxury and decadence.

    Not really ~~~~ Anachronism-the intentional use of older, often obsolete cultural artifacts may be regarded as anachronistic. For example, it could be considered anachronistic for a modern-day person to wear a top-hat, write with a quill, or use a typewriter. Such choices may reflect an...

    Why Renaissance Fair?? Are they not the same as dressing vintage?? It is quite apparent that both are period dressing...[huh]
