can anyone tell me why everyone thinks TF2 it's in 1960?
I'm not saying it's not I just don't know why people say this - has it been posted somewhere?

The calendars in-game say 1968 on them, Saxton Hale is always beating up/murdering hippies, and Valve has said specifically in various posts that they were going for a '50s/'60s theme with the setting.

The game is set in some approximation of 1968 and the entire aesthetic is based on mid-1900s illustration.

The theme itself is 50s/60s, but some of the stuff in the lore loses chronology completely.

For example, Earbuds, and the comic about them.

To be fair though, that comic wasn't canon.

Well it's obvious that the TF2 world doesn't strictly adhere to our timeline, what with Australia being a major technological powerhouse in the 1800s and things like teleportation and mediguns. So things like having earbuds in the game doesn't mean that it's still not generally mid-20th century.

I don't even know anymore since they had to explain the appearance of Bill's Hat.

I think TF2 can pretty much be summarized as "'50s/'60s period setting with occasional slips because Rule Of Funny".
