Or on the various firearms options...

Mysterious Mose said:In fact I think (authentic) Rap is a pretty traditional form of modern music. Not like the present day watered down stuff they dare to call C&W and R&B. I just wonder if it's something to discuss on a Golden Era-centered forum. Even Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly and some other 20's and 30's blues stuff ( that's where I feel Rap descends from)is very controversial.

While many people find hip hop an abomination of music created by un-talented people I am sure we can find similar comments made about musicians back in the day that were not classically (read: Eurpoean) trained.
The more things change..
99.8% of it tends to be really fun otherwise.

In short, we are not definable. There are thousands from all corners of the globe here who talk, don't talk, lurk, read, gab, and they are all unique and may like or not like what you like. All are welcome.

(This isn't the first time I've seen someone on a US-based forum forget the wonderfully global nature of the Internet! lol )
Cheers,

Even though I only occasionally drop by, I've gone from wearing nothing but t-shirts to mostly wearing shirts with buttons (my logo emblazoned t-shirts are now kept in a drawer and no longer take up valuable closet space), wearing proper hats (Fedoras and newsboy caps) instead of baseball-style caps, and I can't remember the last time I wore a pair of jeans. I don't dress hard-core vintage, but I do dress with more style now. And I am more aware of how other people dress. The Fedora Lounge curse, if you will. And I've taken up pipe smoking. As the young folks say, "It's all good".
While I'd say it's a pretty open crowd, one thing that does help is to have some type of interest in something or things vintage. I think that most people here originally stumbled across the Fedora Lounge while doing some type of search about something related to vintage. Others have a vintage interest and get invited by members to come and see this really cool website.
(As to politics, there are often backhanded political comments by the snide ones that need rebuffing. So in between the: who's more a purist threads and who's more vintage threads and who can come up with the best high hat condescending lecture in a thread, there is the rest of us. 99.8% of it tends to be really fun otherwise.)
Everybody gets at least a little soap box rant time now and again.
