> Makes sense but for me as a GenXer it's still a pretty big leap to take. That was a double take .. having lived through the 80's and 90s I'm somewhat suprised there is any MDMA left to consume in the world. It was GenX'rs that gave us: A great philosopher once wrote: naughty, naughty, very naughty… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKBPUwKJmDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKBPUwKJmDM and Spaced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRW8FBFwhyc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRW8FBFwhyc To quote a peer GenX'r Dramatically ambiguous I know, but we are on a lot of drugs - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT2iP5Si-Ho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT2iP5Si-Ho

I was not expecting both Spaced and Jim "Mr.B the Gentleman Rhymer" Burke to be mentioned in the same comment on a HN thread. Good show indeed.

  The Banjolele is such a criminally underated instrument. 'Tis a great pity he has never double billed or collaborated with The Kransky Sisters. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Z6b0q-JWo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Z6b0q-JWo

Ah yes it depends on the country and subculture I guess. Where I'm from it was super normal to drink even at 16 but drugs were a big taboo.

  FwiW and despite whatever impression you may have gleaned from my comment I wasn't particularly into either drugs or alcohol myself, but I certainly saw a lot of both consumed .. and to be fair it's something a lot of people dive into in their late teens and early twenties and then most drastically cut back or stop altogether. The Spaced scene I linked is infamous for many people noting it as one the best depictions of a MDMA rave party ever filmed and Edgar Wright and cast members asserting it was shot in the middle of the day and no one was drunk or on drugs. That .. may or may not be true or overstated - I know I wasn't there at the time so I can't claim knowledge either way.
