After seeing a Reddit post of a girl asking how to do thin eyebrows and heavy eye shadows... I couldn't help but think about something I'm curious about: old people have lost the surprise factor we had back in the 80s/90s.
This idea came because that girl asking for help with makeup posted very typical mid 90s pics of women's fashion. Then I thought, that back then everything was evolving rapidly.
From general culture, ideas, TV, videogames, movies, technology, internet, fashion, etc.
Nowadays I feel that "SoCieTy" is stuck with old ideas (2010 to now hasn't changed in my opinion) compared to the 90s, I feel like it's a regression in every way.
Now, something kinda contradictory; nowadays people can't focus in anything, nothing lasts, and at the same time, it was the same "quickly evolving" process in the 90s. But back then at least we had the faculty to get surprised.
It's hard to explain that feeling. It was similar to being naive but not in the literal meaning.
Am I the only one feeling like this? I'd like to read the opinion from old people (90s kids and prior) before this turns into a "bOoMeRs vs mIllEniAls aNd GeNz" or whatever that stupid shit means.
Another idea, and I'm being very serious; I can't remember having the need to label entire "generations" back then. As far as I remember getting labeled were as "Rockers vs Poppers", "Rich vs Poor", "Nintendo vs Sega/Playstation", "New vs Old", "Transparent Plastic vs Non Transparent Plastic", but I don't remember inventing stupid words to determine an entire ideology within a closed age range. Maybe I was too young to realize if we did had "labels" so please let me know.
Back then it was good manners to greet people as "Good Morning Sir/Ma'am" whilst nowadays It's an insult for "aSSuMiNg gEndEr". God damn.
