Has pop culture reached a perpetual now?
What I mean by that is that we don't seem to have as much trendiness as we used to in styles, culture, ect.
For example, if you go back from today to six years ago in 2009, not much was different. Obama, the Kardashians, similar hairstyles, similar dance/rap music. Kanye, Taylor Swift, ect.
Go back the same amount of time from a different year, like 1985, and so much was different in 1979. Carter vs. Reagan, sideburns and afros vs. big 80s hair, disco vs. 80s rock, bell-bottom pants vs parachute pants.
My question is, why did so much change year by year in the past, but not so much now?
I agree, and I will go further.
I think the world is changing at a lower speed than it was some time ago.
In 2015, we can still see young people listening to Pearl Jam. Ten was released in 1991. 24 years ago. 24 years before 1991 was 1967. Year of the Sgt Peppers. Young people in 1991 though that Beatles was music for mum and dad.
2001 A Space Odyssey was produced in 1968. 47 years ago. Kubrick's Picture is not so different of recent pictures. 47 years before 1968 was 1921. In 1921, the movies were silent and black and white. Very different of the 1968 movies.
