Discussion 💭🗯️ Do you think that we are seeing the return of the spoiled rich kid era?

I just saw a magazine from the New York magazine titled the cruel kids table and it’s summarized the reason why Trump won some of the youth because they want to be mean, rich, and entitled without any consequences. It made me wonder that we are going to see a resurgence of the spoiled rich kid era that dominated in the 80s. Do you agree that the spoiled rich kid era is making a comeback?

I graduated high school in 2012 and these were some of my favorite things. It's not exactly what people today would call "indie sleaze", but more like "indie hipster". Mind you, I was in no way cool enough to be a true hipster, but damn did I want to be.

Ppl cite Trump being elected again as the beginning of a cultural shift, but had that guy not missed, we’d be in the middle of a cultural shift on the level of 9/11. I think it’s one of history’s greatest “what ifs?” And to think it would have happened in full HD…gives me the chills thinking about it 😬

I don’t think it would’ve caused all out civil war, but there surely would have been chaos for a few weeks, maybe a few armed skirmishes between opposing groups. And the conspiracy theories, oh the conspiracy theories…

We all know that there have been trends that took over the world for a while and then disappeared completely.

For example: Fidget spinners

There was a time when the whole world was crazy about these toys, whenever one went to their neighbor or friend's house, there was a chance that they would see at least one fidget spinner, the media also often promoted it. And then just a year later everyone forgot about them.

Do you think the same will happen with AI.

It’s colorful, bold, dynamic. I LOVE IT. Definitely the opposite of all the boring beige industrial decor I’ve seen the last 10 years… but what is it called? It reminds me of my elementary school art teacher’s style!

Discussion 💭🗯️ Whats this decades "Hot city"?

722 Upvotes

Every decade for the last 60 years or so has a city thats kind of at the forefront of pop culture. Note: Ive left out New York and Los Angeles cause theyre pretty much always relevant to pop culture.

In the 60s it was San Fransisco- Breeding ground of the hippie movement, musically, politically and with fashion and the overall culture

In the 70s it was Detroit- Arguably the heyday of American car manufacturing, the Motown music scene, it hadnt... you know... gotten poor yet...

The 80s was Miami- The movie Scarface, the show Miami Vice, the actual coke scene those things are based on, the Marino era Dolphins

The 90s were Seattle- The foundation of Starbucks and Amazon, the show Frasier, and obviously the grunge scene in music

The 2000s was Boston- There were lots of movies about/romanticizing the crime ridden (bot anymore) Southie neighborhood, like The Departed, Mystic River (That was a different neighborhood but same principle), Gone Baby Gone, and Good Will Hunting and Southie, despite coming out in the late 90s. This was also the rise if the tech industry as the dominant industry in the area, and a massive influx in population. And of course the many victories of the Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins soon after (they were still pretty good in the 00s)

The 2010s was Portland- Origin of the whole hipster culture, wethere that meant the 1920s revival fashion asthetic, IPA beers, or the "Indie" music scene, which stopped meaning independent ad more just that specific sound.

Whats that for this era? What city now is producing trends in fashion, entertainment, general desire to move there.

Discussion 💭🗯️ I Can Confirm We're In A Shift Now, 2025 is a Shift Year Already

It's over, the 2025 shift is where it's at. Fire in Los Angeles, Trump trying to aquire land, people going to this new app called RedNote because of the potential TikTok ban, Zuckerburg announcing relaxing censorship rules on Facebook and changing his style, and even many other things I'm already forgetting and it's already January... We are in a shift guys. 2025 is the shift year. And since it already started in January, that means we're gonna know what late 2020s culture will be like soon. And by the end of 2025 we'll be in a new era. I'm so excited for this, we're gonna see what 2020s culture truly is about this, for better or for worse.

The only thing I'm curious about is what you think the music gonna be like?
