The 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s seem to have all separate, unique personalities, but these last 17 years seem to just be one big chunk of time that has no significant meaning.

FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT

These last 17 years have an “oh no” feel that just gets bigger and louder with each consecutive year

I was watching Hasan Minaj’s episode on fast fashion and he talked about how fast fashion companies put out new collections each week instead of having a major release 4 times a year for each season. And then drew the comparison to Netflix putting out new content every week unlike traditional tv channels that also used to introduce new shows seasonally.

Dissolution of unions and rise of gig economy means working class people don’t take regular holidays and vacations anymore they just work continuously until they have a nervous breakdown or have random short term gigs interspersed with random intervals of under/un-employment.

And these are just two ways in which late stage capitalism is eroding our sense of time.

Buzzfeed did an article on the effect of non-linear social media on our sense of time: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/katherinemiller/the-2010s-have-broken-our-sense-of-time

Speaking of seasons. Climate change is literally changing how seasons work. Plants are blooming at the wrong time. Animals are coming out of hibernation at the wrong time.

it could also just be that it hasn’t been enough time since the 2010s for us to invent a culturally salient idea of what that decade was ‘like.’ the past doesn’t have any one existence & no entire decade was ‘really’ any one thing or even any set of things—the ‘separate, unique personalities’ that we’re discussing are more a product of the nostalgia industry, marketing, design, & other post-hoc processes than they are something that describes the ‘real’ essence or coherent ‘feeling’ of a decade, because that’s just not something that organically exists. if we have a clear idea or set of ideas about what we associate with each decade, that says more about how we think now & why, and the kinds of associations that have accreted (or been designed) around that decade and why, than it does about the actual historical existence of anything in that decade. & of course a decade is itself an ultimately arbitrary span of time.

Recently at some events my brother has said to be "this sounds like jungle music", referring to stuff sounding like jungle tracks form video games, so the fact that it'a also the name for a legit genre delights me.

There's a fair bit of jungle / dnb in video games from the 90s and early 2000s. Lotta game composers from around the time were real into dance / club / underground music scenes, from what I've heard!

Just saw a "What was your favorite PBS Kids show" poll but only one of them was old enough that I actually remembered it sO

Please note that this poll does NOT contain the Big Three PBS Kids Shows: Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Sesame Street, or Bill Nye the Science Guy. It also does not include Barney & Friends or Teletubbies. This is deliberate on my part. (I may make a separate poll for them later.)
