I feel like maybe around 2012 the whole concept of eras died.

Like I can clearly visualize items/people/media from the 60s/70s/80s/90s/00’s, but everything is homogenized now and there’s really no “style of the time” either. I think everything from 2013+ will just be remembered as a malaise era, if anything. Maybe the style of the 2050’s will be post cyberpunk apocalyptic? I have no idea.

      I dunno. The 80s had a very particular vibe. When the 90s came along, it just felt different, even as I lived through it.

      I think the 2000’s didn’t feel that much different than that 2010’s.

      But yeah maybe it’s recency bias.

        The 2000s were very different to the 2010s which were different to the 2020s for me.

        2000s, internet (mostly) without facebook. Myspace, bebo, internet forums, MSN messenger.

        2010s - Facebook, widespread internet use among parents and grandparents.

        2020s - huge work culture shift. Huge political culture shift.
