No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

A couple examples would go a long way toward helping people help you. Old footage is easy to find - just google old photos, vintage photos, antique photos... but what does "unique style" mean?
It means the footage generally used in clips , cover or videos such as the one of Luther ( French rapper ) with weird glitchy effects ( or just old camera type of images ). Or even $uicideboy$ cover where you can see disturbing images like a burning graveyard etc.. Overall concept of image and footage that seems odd like recorded with bad sounds , quality or simply in weird places.. !
I've had luck at non-chain thrift stores
I'm not really sure what you're looking for.
Museums have heaps of old photos available online.
I found this collection from our state museum in a few minutes:

I've no idea about what cover you're talking about. But recently I stumbled across this site called Artvee.com . They have a very fine collection of public domain images you can browse.
No idea on how it works if you plan on using one, but it's public domain so that's a good start
Not a collector, but check estate sales and garage sales. Folks will just dump old photo albums.
Just ask your family. I recently started collecting art and photos of my grandma and my relatives got me many old pictures.
Internet Archive. Old photography magazines, some with specialized topics. Some are just text/indexes with no pictures.
