    journos in magazines similar to VICE aimed at the youth market were writing that sort of stuff in 1989 😉

    The youth targeted media and the national broadcasters in most Western European countries has always been biased towards progressive attitudes. That isn’t a bad thing to be fair, as the right wing otherwise would simply impose their views and values by force.

    what has changed currently is accessibility to get your message out – in 1989 it wouldn’t be possible for folk across Europe and the world to have a computer based forum like this, and if I had wanted to broadcast music I’d have to gather together random components (which weren’t always cheap or easy to get) to build a radio transmitter which would only get me about 30 miles range rather than being able to get listeners as far away as Malaysia…

    youre right.
    i was gonna say…maybe theres nothing trendy or anything. it’s a natural feeling that people want to know about something – drugs, music or could be anything. just so easy to access for getting information for everything .

    The other day i got free Timeout on the street and it was the drug issue, its got information of places to get drugs, prices or users opinions.
    it was interesting and fun reading it, but at the same time I thought about how media has got strong power and they could easily influence to people’s mind even the information are wrong or right..

    I enjoy reading peoples discussion here. thanks to the internet…:cool:

    lol thats one of the magazines I was thinking of which used to do articles like that back in the 80s! it wasn’t free then although it wasn’t very expensive either (for someone who was a teenager in that era). They had to start giving it away because the same info could be found for free online.

    haha sorry my english is not perfect maybe misunderstanding…embarrasing..!

    TBH your English is good – though out of curiosity, what country were you originally from?

    you are right though that this is not a new “trend”. The English attitudes to drugs changed around 1987 onwards – whilst we’ve not been so brave as to decriminalise them its not seen as that abnormal or rebelliious to take them any more, at least when younger.

    Aw thanks..im trying…! I’m from japan but live in london atm.

    unfortunately I know hardly any Japanese (almost none at all) in spite of having Asian ancestry, though I do often look at a lot of blogs from Japan about photgraphy, electronics and nature (often cats and other wild animals).

    Japan is very important for our music scene in the UK and Europe – the technology your country produced shaped much of our electronic music raaa

    vice documentaries are fantastic. they cover vast topics of interest, and are well made too. a far cry from peter andre on itv, but each to ya own!
