2012-12-31 02:32 5029183 Anonymous Lets talk decades. (1353888450877.jpg 1920x1080 185kB)
You notice how the early 80s (80-82) still had that late 70s vibe to it? Just like the early 90s (90-93) had that late 80s feel and so on. Do you think we've shook that 00s feel? Its nearly 2013. I feel like the 10s are slowly being distinguished with its own pop culture, fashion, music, etc. I'm only 21 but I remember HATING 98-05. Everything just seemed so bland then and looking back. The 10s are shaping up to be cooler imo. Anyone agree? And by what year do you think this decade will be more defined? 2014+?

My experience with decades is better then your experience probably because I'm older then you... but, don't worry you will hate the follow decades soon enough.

90's Like 90-98 were the best years if you ask me. 2000 and up straight up fucking suck. Back in the 90's I'd watch like 20 hours of t.v a week. Now a days I barely watch an hour of it in a month. Every video game that came out was fun and exciting. Now a days I can't stand those shitty rehashes. Music was fucking awesome. I had a bunch of favorite songs. Well... maybe some music is okay that comes out today but, pretty much meh. Movies... Don't get me started on movies. I can't stand 99% of movies that come out these days. I quit feeling excite to see movies back in 99...

>>5031514 >Life was so much better when I was a kid! Everything was great! You and everyone else, broseph. When you say things like that all it says is that you don't pay enough attention to what's happening around you. There are still good television shows, films, and bands. You're just not looking for them because you're too busy doing something else.

>I remember HATING 98-05. Everything just seemed so bland then and looking back. I understand this completely. 80s = the eighties 90s = the nineties 00s = the nulls

>>5031488 It looks like that whole pseudo-"gentlemanly" thing is finally going to die out, thankfully. I'm tired of seeing guys wearing badly tailored suits and ugly top hats. >>5029183 2014-15, I'd say. Even in music we're seeing some interesting trends, like hip-hop sales dropping, and dance music coming back again.

>>5029183 American here. I think we are moving on yes. The scene fad is dying down with the teens, the hipster fad is dead with the young adults. People aren't as worried about foreign affairs since 9/11 is less in the back of the American conscience. And things are becoming more centered on domestic social issues and economic issues. People care much more about social justice and political correctness (bad imo) the current young adult generation is increasingly secular and hopefully we can get away from fundamentalism. In music I think we are finally moving away from the indie/garage domination of the last decade. IDK what is taking its place but I can comment on hip hop and we are hitting a new golden age with talented young rappers blowing up (ASAP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, Earl sweatshirt, Lil B) I'm hoping that shit like kickstarter can take place of big publishers when it comes to video games and hobbies/ entertainment in general

>>5031770 Fundamentalism hasn't really been big in a very long time. I don't mind a more secular focus among people, but my primary concern is the complete rejection of religion and body's of work associated with it and their influence. I feel like a lot of people these days are criticizing religion without having read the key religious texts they're founded on, and are completely or mostly ignorant about things that are as influential as world religions, especially when a lot of the books are pretty well-written and interesting.

>>5031819 fundamentalism is huge right now. evangelical Christianity is fundamental and literal. There is almost no religious voice in America outside of fundamental christians and a call for theocracy. that is the most dangerous type of thinking and popular politicians such tea party members and Sarah Palin are fundamentalists. I agree though there is a lot to learn from religion but the truth is most people don't follow any doctrine but some churches overly literal interpretation

>>5031909 Oh man, my mistake then. Looking it up, I can't really find anything saying how many Christians are fundamentalist, but I see a lot of older studies showing that the majority of religious people in the southern states are fundamentalist, so I guess I just haven't met them.

>>5031969 Yeah its mostly bible belt. I live in a west coast city so the christians are mostly non denominational or minorities, but even like Catholics and stuff here are really fundamental, but outside of cities fundamentalism is huge

Most trends since the 1950s have been centered around the 5's. 1955-1965 was very similar, 1065-1975 was very similar, etc.

80's: was a decade of change, War was over and people started getting settled, technology really wasnt around in the 80s and it was the age of free thinking and hippies 90's : Quiet time, time of mostly peace and settlement alot of modern technology was just starting to come out, alot of the 80's feeling was in the 90's I think 00's : literally a crazy time, after 9/11 the feeling changed, 00's was a time of great materialism and angst, 00's was literally the time people started losing their minds and going badshit insane, technology stared reaching it's peak in mid/late 2000's and the world economy was at its highest. 10's: slow but volatile time, things slowed down ALOT, economy is in the toilet, conflicts arise in the middle east, people are even more crazy then they were in the 2000's except now everybody is so used to it they don't care anymore.

>>5032717 In what way at all are hipsters interesting? They all dress the same, have the same opinions about everything, constantly worry if things are too mainstream for them, and never have an intelligent or unique thought about anything. Even the smartest of them just spew liberal bullshit back verbatim that they heard from their professors or other hipsters, without a single thought to question it. There is no group of people less interesting than hipsters. I'd take any group over them any day of the week.

>>5032862 Hipster fashion changes pretty regularly. In fact, hipsters often end up setting fashion trends for how most young people dress. Hipster music is quite varied, and musical taste amongst hipsters even more so. Even if a lot of their ideas are dumb, they at least challenge what society is comfortable with and make us look at ourself from different perspectives. Basically, hipsters are the least monotonous stereotypical group around at the moment.

I have to think that since we live in such an ironic age, and since the internet thrives on mocking/revering the past, that it will be very difficult for new trends to spring up organically. Every time a new trend emerges, no matter how small, we instantly critique it and overanalyze it. I believe the internet is to blame for this. It seems like this lack of commitment and irony is what defines the current age in general. Sure you have people feeling empowered to express themselves constantly, but you had that in every era. On the whole, it seems like we're trapped in safety and irony.

I wonder how the internet is going to shape culture as it becomes a more and more integral part of our culture. I wonder how the rising disregard for academia and learning in general will affect or be affected by more advanced technology being integrated into our daily lives.
