It’s like a lot of this modern music that uses all the right sounds and elements that make it sort of nostalgic and pleasant sounding, but without any of the heart and soul of the actual music from that era. (see all the genres of music ripping from 80s new wave)

What all the faux synth pop is missing is being balls out unafraid to be completely insane and dumb.

This was music made by gay brits in pancake makeup, colored hair brushed in loops, pirate outfits, with shaved eyebrows.

Now it's being made by bashful indie dudes with tasteful stubble and t-shirts. The overly self-aware mediocrity of white 90's music lives on.

Do you think there was no economic component to the original formulation?

Nowadays, it's mostly used by morons who have never even left their hometown and have no context for or knowledge of the world at large.

No, there was 0% economic component to the original formula. You can even google it easily, it was entirely a US classification to define allies, communist enemies, and others.

First World: US, NATO, Japan, S. Korea, Turkey.
2nd World: Soviet Union, China, Cuba.
3rd World: Everyone else.

Purely based on alliance classifications. Pointless today, but boomers will get confused and still do poo poo like cite Russia as a 2nd world country.

The first two weren't economic in that context, but the third sort of was.
Places like Switzerland were never considered third world just because they were officially neutral.
It was used much more in the context of non-aligned poorer and post-colonial countries outside of Europe.

It wasn't at all. It is now entirely. Swiss wasn't in Nato, it was a 3rd world country. It was classified officially as such.

This is a dumb way to look at things

On the contrary. There is no shortage of great art created by great artists about the US, particularly about black Americans. Letting a mediocre rapper in a music video that's about as interesting as a high schooler's performance art debut be the focus on discussion on race in America is a dumb way to look at things.

This interpretation is dependent on a contextless view of the term, ignoring the economic and ideological aspects of the Cold War in favor of some kind of Americentric, hyper-literal realpolitik.

quote:

In 1952, the French demographer Alfred Sauvy coined the term Third World in reference to the three estates in pre-revolutionary France.[15] The first two estates being the nobility and clergy and everybody else comprising the third estate.[15] He compared the capitalist world (i.e., First World) to the nobility and the communist world (i.e., Second World) to the clergy. Just as the third estate comprised everybody else, Sauvy called the Third World all the countries that were not in this Cold War division, i.e., the unaligned and uninvolved states in the "East-West Conflict".[15][16] With the coining of the term Third World directly, the first two groups came to be known as the "First World" and "Second World" respectively. Here the three-world system emerged.[13]
But I was just talking poo poo in the first place, we could crush the rest of the West like bugs.

I guess I'm confused. America & it's allies used a classification system to classify the world. I'm not saying it's good or bad, just that they actually did this. You seem to think that's subjective which I don't really know.

Like yes, it's super America centric, America invented this system for American Gov't & propaganda use, it doesn't really get more American facing than that? It doesn't mean it's imaginary.

Or you just trolling me and I fell for it, which I'm pretty sure America didn't invent trolling, so I guess that isn't america then.
