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.
Yeah, that’s their point.
I wasn’t replying to OP though. I was replying to someone saying that living through an era makes it harder to discern the changes. I didn’t really agree with that because the 90s felt different from the 80s, even as I lived through them.
