Slightly random thought, but I think that the 80s are becoming the new 50s, for two reasons: 1. the 80s are viewed as the new “nostalgia decade central” that the 50s used to have, and 2. the 80s are getting a reputation that the 50s have where the aesthetics are great, but the decade itself wasn’t so great.

Hey, random thoughts are the best thoughts!

Wasn’t there a post about that, actually? I think I saw one a couple months ago. Something about how time periods that were around 30 years ago is when they come back into relevance, or something like that. Like, it’s long enough ago that it seems distant but recent enough that…. Something. I dunno, I can’t find the post (if someone does, please let me know!). But I’m pretty sure it’s a real phenomenon!

A few decades down the line, I’m sure people will look back on all of us as having interesting aesthetics but terrible worldviews for whatever reason.

This got me thinking a bit, so thank you for sharing. ❤
