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.
No, not at all. It’s just easier to draw lines on where things start and stop once they change, so you may not feel like you’re “in” an era.
I think eras are less obvious when you’re living through them
I dunno. The 80s had a very particular vibe. When the 90s came along, it just felt different, even as I lived through it.
I think the 2000’s didn’t feel that much different than that 2010’s.
But yeah maybe it’s recency bias.
The 2000s were very different to the 2010s which were different to the 2020s for me.
2000s, internet (mostly) without facebook. Myspace, bebo, internet forums, MSN messenger.
2010s - Facebook, widespread internet use among parents and grandparents.
2020s - huge work culture shift. Huge political culture shift.
When the 90s came along, it just felt different
Yeah, that’s their point.
We’re in the era of misinformation.
pre-2020 and post-2020 definitely feels like a different era.
(The pandemic and the global shift towards being more authoritarian)
In the late 1970’s bell bottoms went out of style.
In the 1990’s a different style of bell-bottoms became fashionable again for women in particular.
In the 1990’s a popular look was the giant baggy jeans like JNCOs, which were technically a type of “bell-bottom.”
In the 2020’s, big giant baggy jeans like JNCOs are back in style again.
Further, did everyone forget the entire scene kid/emo kid styles of the early 2000’s because that style was very unique and I don’t see anyone who looks like this these days.
Haircuts like this were the thing in the early 2000’s for women and men until about 2010ish when everyone put their three wolf t-shirts up in the closet and cringed at why they thought being ironic cringe was so great.
Both the 1980’s and early 2000’s were “skinny jeans” eras.
Just like how the broccoli headed boys are a thing for the 2020’s.
And even the broccoli head boys are a natural re-occurence of the permed haircuts in the 1980’s
I can think of plenty more examples but these are just a few.

Oh emo’s gonna come back someday. And along with it, I fully expect these to comeback to.

Scene girls were my favorite.
Just had to keep them away from razor blades.
The early 2000’s style you like is still very much alive… In the furry community.
“Under this fursuit, I have an amazing haircut.”
Fascism sure draws a line in the sand.
Definitely not. I am playing timeguesser and there is distinct change pre 2020 and post 2020
Ah well I guess we will just be known as the ai slop and facism age that welcomed the downfall of civilization then.
Nope, you just can’t put your finger on what’s distinct now and you lack the contrast of what the future brings.
Hair styles, fashion, design, colors, music, phones and other devices, all of that will be different in 10 years.
Remember, facebook was all the rage in a different era and is now uncool. Same for twitter. That’s era defining as well.
No.
You say the Facebook Ear has past, but there are still literally billions of people logging in everyday.
Your small set of friends might have passed on Facebook, but it hasn’t gone away.
Moreover, when I say “hippie era” you think of certain clothes, certain music, etc etc.
There’s no one style that defines the ‘Facebook Era.’
