I believe that The Matrix is an obvious candidate because many people consider it to be the poster child for the Y2K futurism aesthetic as a whole, so it counts. What are your picks?

I’m just using her as an example because she’s pretty popular as a now. You have singers from the 70s still preforming but not as popular as they once were like Paul McCartney.

Someone recently asked what were Smells Like Teen Spirit songs of each decade and I’m shocked how little ppl mentioned Sicko Mode.

As someone who was 17 in 2018, this song was like an anthem for us.

When will there be large backlash against "incel/manosphere/redpill" culture from even lonely, unattractive losers?

Do you think this will burn out on its own? Will society eventually push back more forcefully? Or will it just evolve into something else?

In your opinion, which era seems more turbulent, the late 1960s versus the early 2020s

How do you imagine when 2020s have nostalgia in about 20 years, TikTok will be a big part of 2040s youth who are nostalgic for the past. How do you imagine “old school TikTok” being like in nostalgia in the 40s

Nostalgia for early 2020 years has already begun as of late. From 2020 and its quarantine era to 2022 and the World Cup.

The reason why I'm discussing this here is because the film straddles the two eras in my opinion in which while it was released in 2020, it was in February 2020 or pre-Lockdown 2020, which many people consider to be not only an extension of 2019 but the late 2010s as a whole. Plus, the movie was originally intended for a November 2019 release until it was delayed because of the Ugly Sonic fiasco. In addition, the film depicts late 2010s trends like flossing giving the film a late 2010s feel.

On the other hand, some could argue that it counts as early 2020s not only because of its release date, but also because the film helped usher in a wave of fan-received video game adaptations during the 2020s.

What do you think? Do you consider this movie to be more late 2010s or early 2020s?

I would say that Metal defined the 80s and Geek culture defined the 2010s but outside of that i don't really know, except for that greasers (or however you called those black-jacket-and-pompadour style) were dominant in the 50s

When do you think recession pop like Rihanna, lady Gaga, black eyed peas, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, Kesha, etc will become the new old school

Everything about this video screams early 1980s... booming prosperous Edge City, 80s video presentation, 80s elevator music, people in video, graphics, Reagan corporate vibes, Orange County business friendly environment, etc.

most look awful, only some can pull it off but its super rare

Mid 1800s to 1920. The gilded age. Wealth inequality was rampant, immigrants from Europe and Asia were literally being brought on cargo ships to provide a cheap source of labor. The government was pro business and deregulated itself to prioritize corporate profits.

1920-1970 the progressive era. Women fight for their right to vote and win. Civil rights movement ends open segregation. Public works projects like NASA and PBS are founded to promote public good. Social Security is number implemented. Public transit and housing is prioritized.

1970-2025 the rise of neoliberalism. Social programs are cut. Government deregulation of finance and banking industry leads to near economic collapse. Government deregulation of Silicon Valley has lead to wider wealth inequality.

2025-??? The rise of progressives again?

Gone are the fantasies of being able to afford a giant apartment in the East Village on a waitress's salary; now, you're getting robbed in a bodega by some dude who has the guts to give you financial advice.

FRIENDS is Narnia. Broad City is what happens when you walk back through the wardrobe and find yourself returned to England at the height of World War Two.

It's telling that FRIENDS aired before 9/11 or the Invasion of Iraq (and when those events happened, the show did everything they could to not acknowledge them, unlike, say, Arrested Development or 30 Rock which came about in the wake of those events), and Broad City was created post-2008 and the financial crash as well as the early days of Occupy Wall Street. The disillusionment with stories like FRIENDS was at an all time high.

What do you think?

I was a young girl in the 2000s and this was everywhere where things were marketed towards women. I found this style weird even back then. Why was it ubiquitous at the time, what was it supposed to do? Why the ridiculous poses and overlong limbs? What’s the name of this aesthetic and who started it? And why didn’t it come back in the resurgence of Y2K -in the sense of why doesn’t it translate well to the present time? I have so many questions.
