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.

    Older Gen Z here, it’s just a consequence of everyone in a social niche now. There’s no one theme to unite them all, so it’s hard to picture in your head a theme, although I can think of what I was a part of in the 00s and 10s.

      That almost seems changing. TikTok seems to enforce some sense of monoculture now. I’m seeing 67 gestures from people aged 22 to 6.

      I’m curious if the 2010s were the most social niche disjointed and we end up moving back to more monoculture (Yeezy slides, ice cream shorts, broccoli hair is a good 2020s representation that I just can’t think of for 2010s)
