50. The beer can in the first picture is an anachronism.

As is the "Magnavox" television shoved into the old-school cabinet in the second picture, the VCR on the shelf below the TV in the third picture, the hairstyle of the gent in the fourth picture (needs much, MUCH more grease--a little dab'l do ya), the absence of stockings on the woman in the fifth picture...and when one goes to the link, it's obvious these people are living a "lifestyle" where they pick-and-choose aspects of the era that they find pleasing. Full sleeve tattoos and multi-colored hair were not features of the time yet they are featured in the article's illustrations. They aren't going for absolute accuracy, they're playing dress up -- not much different than people who dress up as cartoon characters or Star Wars heroes...only these guys take it a bit further.
