As if there hasn't been a somewhat toned-down version of this going on for, what, 55 years or so ? I admit the kids are wilder than we were, but the rest is identical to 1979.

Used to go there when I was at the U. of Alabama in the early 60s.
Wasn't near as wild as it is now.
The strongest drug we had was grain alcohol.
200 proof, but pricey.
Beer was the drug of choice, readily available and afordable.
Everybody smoked.
Tobacco.


I don't remember any bikinis.
Just girls' in one piece bathing suits with 'modesty panels'.
Like Esther Williams.
(You couldn't see the crotch.)
As I remember, there was a lot of hard wired 'structure' in the bosoms.
And they wore bathing caps for surf and pools.

We wore 'trunks' that came to mid thigh and T shirts.
Not T shirts with logos or outrageous 'statements'.
Just plain white T shirts.

Never experienced any wild orgies.
I think I maybe did actually get laid once.

Do remember waking up on the beach one morning.
Hungover as a goat.
Sand crabs were approaching.
I shooed them off and went looking for aspirin and a Coke.

Oh yeah, there was no music.
No rock shows or boom boxes.
Maybe a transistor radio that you couldn't hear over the surf, anyway.
Oh, and there was always a guy by the pool, where it was quieter, playing folk music on a guitar.

when I was in Jr. High and highly impressed. The wildest thing in the movie was that one of the girls had a sexual encounter. I think that was set in Lauderdale. Seriously, we're probably entering about the fourth generation of Spring Breakers: many of those kids may have had grandparents (those 70 year old viewers) who were in on the early days. Times have gotten wilder with each generation, of course, no matter your personal morality. I'm just looking forward to more Fox reports. My daughter is pushing forty and Cancun was it in her day; I only got as far as the Jacksonville area, which was never really that warm.

Looks forward to this every year. I bet he has his own stash of uncensored videos and photos he takes home, for study.

And I'm a child of the 70s, and went to South Padre once. While it was pretty bad, it wasn't quite like this. I have a daughter starting college next year, and we will be having long talks about the next four years. I want her to have fun, but this is beyond the pale. Sorry, but I have to yell "get off my lawn" on this one.
