'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
where I think Sam's struggle has been to define who he is as a part of the family, where Dean's has/will be to figure out who and what, if anything, he is outside of it.
Oh, I agree with this.
The differences are reflections of how they were raised, even though they were raised in a rather closed family of three, they were raised differently and that causes conflict and changes how they react/interact with the world.

Oh yes. Definitely.
A cloaking device with bling?
Heh.
I'd posit, Juliana, that rather than a complex analysis of their experiences, you can go with the general reason why John and Dean perform their masculinities so differently: one of these two grew up in the 50s, with all the attendant repression-and-mayonnaise that era involves, and the other one didn't.
Ow! Help, I sprained something, imagining Dean watching MTV circa 1986.
I just want to see Dean's glam phase. (Please?)

If the show's to be believed, John grew up mostly in the 60s, being from the crop of '54. So somewhere in between Leave It to Beaver and The Wonder Years.

What year did Headbanger's Ball start, anyhow?
Headbanger's Ball ran from April 11, 1987 - January 1995, according to wikipedia.

My brain just went to Dean sneaking off so he could go see the Iron Maiden tour when Guns 'n Roses opened for them (which would have been '88 or '89).

I think that the speed at which culture travels means that being born in 1954 in Indiana is equivalent to being born in 1946 in California. Or possibly 1846, except for all that newfangled technology.
Am I the only boy in here?
