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.

    Stylistically, I’d give the 2010s to hipsters. Damn I do not miss skinny jeans.

    Item and sociologically? The smartphone is now ubiquitous.

    Sadly, I think the late 10s + a bit will be known as the trump/covid era. (Or, if things get much worse, the beginning of the end.)
