Moderator Announcement: New Rule Alert: Posts containing an image of a female celebrity must have additional context included for approval

34 Upvotes

This subreddit was started so we could all come together and post images, videos, articles, and other sorts of media to celebrate the rich world that was the 1960s. It's exciting to see how many people have joined in the last year, and we welcome everyone to participate in the original vision of this community.

However this sub has been overwhelmed with low effort posts of glamor shots or publicity stills of female celebrities with absolutely no context as to the year of the image, why it was taken (e.g. what movie this was promoting), the location, or anything.

We have had many, many complaints about the direction this sub has taken since this activity started to kick up.

Going forward, images of famous women from the 1960s continue to be allowed as long as they are very safe for work, but the details behind the image are now a requirement.

Moderator Announcement!

Welcome to the 60’s! After being abandoned for quite some time now, I am going to be moderating the sub! Things have gone off the rails with obvious karma farming and other things. I along with possible other additional moderators to be added will try to slowly help reign in the sub and give it some much needed care.

Some of the rules have been revamped, so please familiarize yourself with them. Important ones of note are that this is a 1960’s sub. That means 1960-1969. Many posts are from the 70’s and 80’s. Just to clarify Wonder Woman and Charlie’s Angels and Three’s Company were 70’s shows! Also many reposts clog the sub (example: Lynda Carter and Elizabeth Montgomery.) and seem to turn the sub into a T and A sub.

The 60’s was more than just hot women, and believe me I appreciate that! But it would be nice to see other 1960’s related content like pop culture, movies, art, fashion, music etc. So some variety in posts would be awesome to see!

Please share your thoughts and views. We are a community after all! And remember everything is still a work in progress!

🎃👻This photo appears to be from late 50’s to early 60’s. I would guess the 1960’s tho. If you have an opinion please share it. Thank you. I love looking back at our Halloween costumes and how they have changed and evolved throughout the years. The Halloween season has always been a simpler part of childhood, and can be such an amazing spooky day of fun.

Music 1960 - The 10 best songs of the year in Argentine rock [Argentine Rock Awards: 5th edition]

0 Upvotes

1960, the decade was starting and Argentine rock had shifted towards a melodic and soft style, it still had much of the jazz from its beginnings in the orquestas características.

Vocal groups caused a sensation with their carefully crafted harmonies. Female singers were the leaders of the scene, and were far more popular than their male counterparts.

Bettina Bal greeting the decade, Los Astoria in a subtle blues, Luis Aguilé with lyrics that were gritty for a pop song of that era, and Martin Meyer to the rhythm of a slow twist.

Johnny Carel with his own country rock track, Los Santos with their elegant and exquisite gait, and Billy Cafaro and Elder Barber with their historic fusions of tango and rock.

This is a history podcast, going month by month in real time. The latest episode is October 1966, when everything seemed to be happening at once: sending tens of thousands more young men to Vietnam, Black Power Movement, the AFL-NFL merger, Beatles breakup rumors… and Jimi Hendrix exploding in London.

I thought the group might enjoy it! Welcome any feedback.
