I have now watched every episode of How I Met Your Father and they have all been awful. I don't know why I keep watching them. You should avoid this garbage show.TheSlutPit posted:The 00s are difficult to peg to a single cultural vibe because online social media became the dominant cultural force smack in the middle of the decade. Like if you were a millennial in the early 00s the major tastemakers were still the same traditional outlets as the 90s—mall brands, MTV, major record labels, etc—but from 2004-2007 everyone got extremely online and started curating their tastes based on blog buzz and poo poo. Yeah when I think of 2000s stuff I tend to think of very late 90s - early 00s. By the later 2000s blog era all the fashion advice on most blogs was all about basic traditional stuff that doesn't stick out that much. Skinny jeans are the only real thing I remember being crazy from that time frame but those weren't really new.

How's That 90s Show doing? That's a big sign we're having a 90s revival, no? And I feel like Youtube's been pushing a lot of Bam Magera stuff on me for some reason... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuluhA3S--U Although that might be because Vice rather cynically re-released this when Magera looked like he might die from Covid.

That 90's show is pretty good. If you like That 70's Show you will probably like it. I was clapping like a trained seal every time there was a cameo of an original cast member. Everyone is on it at some point except for Hyde due to his sexual assault issues.

galagazombie posted:The post 9/11 decades don’t even have unique aesthetics from each other to get nostalgic for one over the other. The 00’s, 10’s, and so far the 20’s have all shared pretty much the same stuff between them. Sure the names change but the current is still the same. actually now I disagree. 2000-2019 were like a long decade. But the kids who grew up having to not go to school for shootings and the pandemic, idolized youtubers instead of rappers or rockstars, played online games instead of biking around aimlessly, seem to have some kind of left wing political conciousness at least about being LGBTQ positive and worried about the doomed future, and according to studies are not doing drugs or having sex. they have nothing in common with my childhood in the late 90s early 2000s

I still can't believe that they aren't even killing people on the Squid Game gameshow. What is even the point? I at least want fake deaths for every loser. *Edit* LOL - apparently according to this variety article they did spray fake blood on the people who were eliminated. https://variety.com/2023/tv/global/netflix-squid-game-reality-show-frozen-inhumane-welfare-1235511809/ Substandard has issued a correction as of 06:17 on Feb 8, 2023 |

You misread me. I didn’t say post 9/11 was the same as the 90’s, I said they were the same as each other. Like 1985 and 1995 are discernible from each other at a glance. 2005, 2015, and I predict 2025 will not. Yes they’re easily discernible from the 90’s, but not each other. Ten years simply no longer changes things as much.

it's too bad eras are defined by their consumer products, fashion, and lingo not their general vibe and values. at least commercialized art forms like music and movies have some authenticity. I like donnie darko's use of an 80s soundtrack it is extremely well utilized, or blue velvet's 60s songs

I just watched Dazed and Confused again today and there's literally nothing interesting about the 1970s. maybe the US recognizing China hasn't been tapped. who cares about 'nam or the hippie drug&love revolution becoming cynical hedonism, abuse, and a slimy underworld. The 70s are now closed.

Ten years simply no longer changes things as much. I would still say 1995 and 2005 are closer together than 1995 and 1985. Btw, 1995 you already have the blockbuster movie era, the beginnings of the internet, and soon after cell phones start cropping up more. I would say it is the start of the "contemporary period." Btw, that doesn't mean society/economics/politics etc haven't changed, they have considerably but there also seems to be a slowing of some elements of culture. This forum doesn't really have young people in it any more, but I get a sense there is intense alienation from not really society itself in the same way as Gen X but the overarching form about how culture is now "applied" to society. I don't get a sense of a strong generation gap (or animosity) between zoomers and millennials (even though they are different) in the same way there was between the silent generation to boomers, then boomers to gen x, and gen x to millennials. It doesn't mean for that zoomers don't have their own cultural influence but usually it is dominated by the edifice of broader American culture which has become stagnant.

The 2010s had a certain dark vibe to them that's missing in the 20s. It was when everyone was waking up to how poo poo things were and it looked like there might some kind of a confrontation with Liberal hegemony but instead an orange man was rude to journalists and the status quo crushed those movements by exerting a small amount of effort.

I thought the early 2010s was the last time there was some glimmer of hope of anything changing but by Obama's second term it was clear we were completely screwed. It is hard not to say the 20s haven't been dark in their own way though, but that is more the crumbling of society itself.

I feel like how similar the two last decades have been is a bit oversold. The Bush, Obama and Trump eras were very differently experienced for obvious reasons even if leftists are gonna be a bit more clued-in as to the similarities, the onllne landscape had several sea changes both in subcultures and websites, mainstream attitude toward LGBT issues has significantly evolved, the film industry is in a completely different place now, etc. You could say all of this is a bit superficial and some things don't change but that would be true of previous decades too. If there's a difference it's more that change feels less influenced by youth culture and individual artists, with corporations dictating from on high and internet culture sort of providing an impotent greek chorus to the whole thing - but that's an evolution in itself.

On one hand it hasn't been end of history, but at the same time, I would say that the "stasis" in at least broader public culture probably should be remarked on. It isn't that society itself frozen but that institutional forces became ossified and dominate enough that stagnation had to set in eventually. Obviously, the internet itself is untamed to an extent, but it is hard not to say that public culture doesn't influences the internet as well...look at Reddit. You could say there are perhaps subperiods that come and go, but I would argue once the "victory" of the Cold War became fully embraced by the mid- 1990s that it would in turn lead American culture heading down a certain path. (Also, you could say certain social trends that are apparent now already starting some speed by the mid-1990s.) Obviously, technology has improved as well, but even then you could argue that the trend of advancement has slowed to a degree from the Cold War since so much money that was being dumped in government R&D dropped. The only thing is finally becoming apparent because we are now counting decades and wondering what happened.
