The GP is also grasping at remakes, sequels and franchises. So are they at the same boring 4 chords progression songs. Just to say that companies are also feeding consumers the way the ask to be fed.

gagzus 22,576 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Nostalgia has ALWAYS happened and been a part of pop culture, even in the 90s the 60s & 70s influenced a lot of popular culture. Disco evolved into House, Rock n Roll evolved into Garage and influenced Drum n Bass too. The 2000s was influenced by the 80s, the 2010s was obsessed with the 90s fashion wise and music wise the 80s. It’s all cyclical. In the late 2010s to now we’ve been through a 90s > 2000s and now 2010s culture shift. Tumblr soft grunge girl aesthetics and makeup are becoming a thing again, music is slowly shifting back to a 90s influence. I predict that the next wave of music is gonna return to Pop-Rock (Gaga and Charli are already ahead of the curve in that way) and I foresee fashion moving into a more late 80s early 90s direction. I think we’re gonna see the death of Electropop after it’s had a commercial grip for almost 20 years on music (thanks Gagita) Edited May 22 by gagzus 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladle Ghoulash 51,806 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I honestly think this particular wave of nostalgia is, in part, because much of the world and overall quality of life has gotten demonstrably worse since 2017. Through the chaos of the pandemic (the consequences of which, both in terms of public health and it’s socioeconomic impact, we have since failed to reckon with), the destabilization of democracy across the globe, the loss of shared cultural touchstones through the balkanization and diversification of social media feeds, the overall cultural stagnation that comes from a largely disempowered populace, the barrage of historical precedents being repeatedly broken, cultural and political norms being destabilized, power being reorganized geopolitically, people are longing for the last time culture felt sort of “alive” and the quality of life felt, at least relatively, good and people felt optimistic about the future. TL;DR: people are unconsciously reaching for the last time the world felt “normal” to them in this particular instance.

JoeCool 959 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Yeah I do love nostalgia so be it I'm not completely lost in it. Even though I never watched Jersey Shore I def have nostalgia now for 2009-2012. So that show came in my mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
