There was a 032C piece a couple of issues ago about this concept of "The Big Flat Now" which in some ways echo those sentiments about culture kind of "stalling" in the digital age we're living through, here's part of it:

THE BIG FLAT NOW: Power, Flatness, and Nowness in the Third Millennium

As a contemporary metaphor, flatness describes how the invention of the Internet has restructured global society. At its origin, its promise was a social revolution founded on intersectional equality and universal democracy. It is our contention that that promise may yet be fully realized.

032c.com

"Nowness and flatness are not just conditions affecting the present. They have colonized other times too. The ability to view vast volumes of data and records from the past, as well as grasp a variety of positions on the future, means that there is no longer any meaningful separation between other eras and our own. Indeed, history is today understood as a kind of alternative present, still happening somewhere else."

Yeah, it's kinda wild how we can pretty instantly reference whatever images/decades we want thru youtube or google. Previous generations would have to trawl through magazines or books or VHS tapes to get references.

Following styleforum since my late teens has given my the sensibilities of a late 20s professional. I'm 20 and how do i go back

Go back? You have to go all the way around to get back. But when you do, it won't be the same as when you left.

how much uniqlo do you own? start owning more. then buy muji.

buy enough and you'll reach a transcendental point where you start saying things like "I realize that clothes as a hobby is only a waste of time and money, used only to mask the anxiety and insecurity embedded deep in my soul by outwardly signaling that I am a part of some group of taste makers. My identity was built around how I presented myself to the rest of the world while putting down others for their own fashion choices. I don't wear anything but Uniqlo and Muji now (their basics are very good), and spend most of my time and money on experiences (building gundam models) and relationships (with my local gundam model dealer)"

take a break from SF. Just... stop. Just drop off the face of the earth. Disappear, like grains of salt in a sandstorm.

and then come back a few years later talking about how "i can't watch crunchy roll without being bombarded by LGBT anime and chobits"

very good post. But ya you can look good in uniqlo. it's all you really need. I think fashion has become interesting again to me, because I can't vocalize how I feel without being passive aggressive, haha.

but you aren't just talking about fashion Lane

This was a very weird yet provocative anime when it use to air on PBS channel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Experiments_Lain

but you aren't just talking about fashion Lane

ya heaven forbid people have different opinions. Thats the problem with people like you. You want a society that is all "forward-thinking" yet you can't fathom that others may have differing opinions. You wan't to silence anyone that isn't congruent with what you deem just - It has gotten to a point that even people like me who celebrate extremes are sick of it. (I wear skirts ).
