For an image subreddit with minimal rules, check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I recognise Billy Brag, who are the rest? Should i know?

[–]invincible_spleen 40 points41 points ago

This is Billy Bragg's old punk rock band Riff Raff. You can hear him discuss the band and some of his early musical influences with fellow Riff Raff member Wiggy here.

[–]bhouse21 1 point2 points ago

Bragg posted this on his FB a while back. It's great.

[–]mrsassypantz 1 point2 points ago

the new Riff Raff is SO much better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PwBnM24YnE

[–]eamantite 7 points8 points ago

I hope that's not the riff raff I think your going to make me click. I will be back with an edit.

Edit: It was in fact the riff raff I presumed. Can't believe I watched that whole bit :(

[–]freemorph 1 point2 points ago

I can't tell if he's serious or just trolling the whole genre.

[–]i_whore_kittens 3 points4 points ago

I think both.

[–]neuromonkey 1 point2 points ago

He's journeyed entirely through the realm of parody and wrapped back around to stupid.

[–]TheCheeks 0 points1 point ago

That's the beauty of Raff, he's doing both. He literally doesn't give a fuck if people think he's weird, he's just being him (and being him is partly a persona he's playing, you can see him start to slip in some interviews).

The reason people like him is he's not trying to fit the stereotypical hip-hop gangsta image, he's just being Riff Raff.

[–]TheCheeks 1 point2 points ago

Raff is the man.

[–]sage_of_majic 10 points11 points ago

I thought it was Anderson Cooper

[–]Iluvtinykox 0 points1 point ago

Damn me to.

[–]baldylox 3 points4 points ago

I thought that was Billy Bragg. Thanks for confirming.

[–]poteaser 13 points14 points ago

The subway hasn't changed much.

[–]Jeklah 2 points3 points ago

Yeah you'll get that in the UK.

[–]Swillys 7 points8 points ago

Wrong, obviously an old train in some museum or something. Looks more like this now - http://happysnapper.com/unseenlondon/lulonpicadillytrain1.jpg

[–]RichDavi 4 points5 points ago

I believe it's the London Underground subsurface G stock that's currently on display at the Transport Museum Covent Garden.

/anorak

[–]naturenet 1 point2 points ago

Those trains are still running on the Isle of Wight - maybe they went there?

[–]bub2000 1 point2 points ago

Everyone looks so miserable.

[–]NateTrib 13 points14 points ago

[–]KarmaRaeJepsen 59 points60 points ago

35 years is a long time to be stood there.

[–]jtriley 38 points39 points ago

Some people will do anything for karma.

[–]fractal_snowflake 10 points11 points ago

British public transport

[–]Harmswahy 8 points9 points ago

Those are some fucking cool looking kids.

[–]OrrinH 7 points8 points ago

They even used the same camera??... Now that's attention to detail

[–]Ftumsh 6 points7 points ago

No, they had Instagram back then too.

[–]mongobongodog 6 points7 points ago

Is that Roger Sterling in the leather jacket?

[–]Lucid_Nonsense 14 points15 points ago

It's actually Billy Bragg - famous British Folk/Activist Singer

[–]invincible_spleen 6 points7 points ago

Way better than Roger Sterling.

[–]Tim_Buk2 13 points14 points ago

Billy Bragg - This Boy Done Good - http://youtu.be/KMf-XAOZRmU

[–]sproxy 0 points1 point ago

Thanks. I'll be singing this all day now. But I've loved this song for more than 20 years!

[–]Jooseman 1 point2 points ago

If we're comparing favourite Billy Bragg songs

St Swithins Say - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljJl-E5bzm4

Must I Paint you a Picture - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnwQ6zvoG4g&feature=related

The Space Race is Over - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPRci2BFTMc

And as was already said - Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards.

(To be fair, while finding these songs, I remembered so many of his songs that I love, it was a hard choice)

My three favorites:

Sexuality

You Woke Up My Neighborhood

My Flying Saucer (live)

Edit: Also, my username is based on Billy's description of himself as an "anti-folk hero."

[–]viama 0 points1 point ago

[–]eamantite 8 points9 points ago

I know what you posted last summer.

[–]youregonnaloveme 14 points15 points ago

35 hours separates these two reposts.

[–]imbignate 2 points3 points ago

More like earlier today.

[–]Anhedonique 2 points3 points ago

Scrolled all the way down and still no one mentions who the hell is in this picture.

[–]ride_my_bike 2 points3 points ago

Billy Bragg is the second from the left. The rest are members of Riff Raff, if I recall correctly.

[–]Calciumee 0 points1 point ago

I recognised BB but didn't know who the others were!

[–]IsThisTheRealLife 3 points4 points ago

35 days between reposts.

[–]two2teps 2 points3 points ago

Wonder how long seperates the reposts...

[–]alltimeisrelative 1 point2 points ago

Wow, they still have the exact same clothes.

[–]Jonny_Watts 4 points5 points ago

I, too, have eyes

[–]judgesuds 0 points1 point ago

Nope, it's a new hat.

[–]Majax2 -2 points-1 points ago

[–]michiganjames 1 point2 points ago

Very cool!

[–]mikeyFRESHHH -1 points0 points ago

Is that Anderson Cooper?

[–]SteveGerrardGerrard 2 points3 points ago

What's Lembit Opik doing there?

[–]mathen 0 points1 point ago

Arise, ye workers from your slumber...

[–]silverence 0 points1 point ago

People age? No fucking way!

[–]Yohococo 0 points1 point ago

Pretty sure that's less than 5mm

[–]TheDeclanation -1 points0 points ago

This is a repost from a few months ago. Nice try ;)

[–]tbell324 0 points1 point ago

is there a subreddit of pics like this?

[–]RiotCrits 0 points1 point ago

Same camera 35 years later?

[–]nikolaoured 0 points1 point ago

they are such pimps my brain cant handle it.

[–]alblaster 0 points1 point ago

so It looks like they got old because they cut their hair. Hair is the real fountain of youth.

[–]Raising 0 points1 point ago

I'm nearly bald at 30 years.. people think my mother is my wife <_<

[–]TheBigYello1isTheSun 0 points1 point ago

Knowing full well how much things change or die as the world turns, I find it amazing that every detail outside of their physical appearance is spot on.

[–]Cickle_Funts 0 points1 point ago

And a couple of weeks between reposts.

[–]ballbreaker101 0 points1 point ago

and i think about three months separates this repost from the original.

[–]shafafa 0 points1 point ago

Is this to prove how horribly they've aged?

[–]lisabadcat 0 points1 point ago

How many weeks separate this from the last time this was posted?

[–]Scr3wtape 0 points1 point ago

This i such an old repost

[–]BgBootyBtches 0 points1 point ago

You've gained some weight...

[–]BeardedDeath 0 points1 point ago

Looks like they all got a haircut and a job

[–]goodguygregor 0 points1 point ago

Is there some serious photoshopping going on or did they hold on to those clothes for 35 years purposely?

Excellent work either way!

[–]OmniaII 1 point2 points ago

I know, lets get our pic taken, then put the clothes in a box, not gain any weight and take the pic again 35 years later - It'll be so rad/boss/cool/bitchin...

[–]Snodgrass82 0 points1 point ago

More like 35 pixels!

[–]jrock77 0 points1 point ago

Two big thumbs up for keeping same outfits and poses! Others, while interesting, often lack in the details.

[–]Ym4n 0 points1 point ago

i don't know why the right one seems more natural

[–]Thisguy2021 0 points1 point ago

All I know about this picture is this:
Time seems to have struck the man in the top hat like a ham sandwich.

[–]Trainbow -1 points0 points ago

CAN WE FUCKING STOP IT WITH THIS THEME

[–]Actionjackson83 1 point2 points ago

Awesome pic, crappy infrastructure. 35 years and they don't upgrade the train at all. Get your tax dollars back.

[–]jogrogers26 -1 points0 points ago

Op is a fagt

[–]locozildjiangodx 0 points1 point ago

I didnt even notice the guy in the back till I saw the 2nd picture was lacking giant hair

[–]RumorsOFsurF 0 points1 point ago

3 months separates this repost from the last time it was on the front page

[–]wwwords 1 point2 points ago

I had The Rolling Stones playing "Mother's Little Helper" when I clicked on this. Talk about perfect timing--with the line: "What a drag it is getting old."

[–]Trevtown 0 points1 point ago

It's likely that the guy behind the camera for the original photo was part of this bunch of hooligans. I wonder if he is sad for not being a part of the remake.

Oh well.

[–]klaq 0 points1 point ago

looks like these guys are on the way to do some of the ole ultra violence

[–]Boneslatch -1 points0 points ago

aha. well I have seen this many of times before, on reddit and elsewhere. enjoy a downvote. muahuahuahua

[–]kitteh_pants -1 points0 points ago

From left to right I see Blake from Workaholics in the older photo, and Anderson Cooper, Jeff Goldblum, Willy Wonka and Michael Douglas in the newer photo.

[–]SadGruffman 0 points1 point ago

I want that pink floyd shirt.

[–]gifforc 0 points1 point ago

also, about 10 pounds of headfat.

[–]Iainsane 0 points1 point ago

Taken on the same camera no less.

[–]BetterThanOP 0 points1 point ago

pff, not the same subway car. 3/10

[–]Clarkson23 0 points1 point ago

Definitely the better of the bunch

[–]Cudiedout 0 points1 point ago

Guy on the far right still looking like a boss 35 years later

[–]Twitchxiii 1 point2 points ago

The little balls they hold onto on the train got smaller

Doesn't look like that turkey has aged a day!

This picture was used in the music video for Bittersweet Melodies by Fiest.

[–]zovm 0 points1 point ago

I hate these posts

[–]iAmAfatboy -1 points0 points ago

why is this shit on the front page again?? stop recycling and just throw it in the garbage

[–]phartnocker 0 points1 point ago

time is a tyrant.

[–]imstartingover 0 points1 point ago

Just wanted to say this is one of the best photo remakes i've seen. You guys nailed the outfits and poses. A lot of times you see all sorts of things that are off about the pictures. This one isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn good.

[–]Tannon34 0 points1 point ago

The hair just disappeared at some point, probably about five years after it was taken

[–]Santaman2346 0 points1 point ago

Your friend in the leather jacket looks very similar to Billy Bragg.

[–]quackerzdb 0 points1 point ago

Finally! One of these where they actually wear the exact same clothes!

[–]tydy_ 0 points1 point ago

These are my favorite kind of pictures.

[–]raresaturn 0 points1 point ago

Is that Billy Bragg???

[–]khysanth 0 points1 point ago

How do the people in these pictures always manage to have the same clothes?

[–]ChefHans 0 points1 point ago

This is the coolest thing I found on REDITT Cheers to you guys !

[–]jwjenay 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, Irena Werning (The photographer of this one) did a ton of these in her Back To the Future Set: http://irinawerning.com/index.php?/bttf2/back-to-the-future-2-2011/

[–]psych00range 0 points1 point ago

i remember seeing this but thought it was like 3 months ago not 8. time flies

[–]GPManager -4 points-3 points ago

That's it. From now on, I'm going to download the entire frontpage of today too. And then repost it in a year.

This is the 4th pic in a row which is a repost.

[–]Canada-USAsFreezer -1 points0 points ago

35 years and 350lbs.
