"historical memory does eventually expire, even when it comes to The Sixties" Re the image from 3-4 pages back with the punk mohawks "1960s" and the countercultural Pewdiepie/Marzia Normie rebellion or w/e, your point is that the colored shaved mohawk couple is really from the late 1970s early 1980s right and not the 1960s, that was the point of your post yes?
