Yes it’s Matt Walsh but I thought this was an interesting post. What do you think? I somewhat agree with him although I can think of a handful of things that will probably live and die in the 2020s (socks over leggings, hopefully).

The thing with changes in style - music, fashion, arts they are either a clear development of a style or a reaction against it.

We have had a lot of stagnation or suspension in mainstream media. The same artists from 20 years are still in the popular charts, a few studios churn out repeated shite movies that follow predictable storylines. There is/was more youth innovation in social media such as Vyne, Twitch and YouTube although some folded and the ones that have survived are now marketing mouth pieces.

To me, it feels like the rise of the social mobile phone use is a key to this change. It has led to distraction and divisiveness, has hindered creativity, fostered anxiety and disconnected us further from one another. (Says me typing away on my phone at 10.45pm). I see my hypocrisy.

Watching as i'm curious about this one 👀🤔

It’s hard to know whether it’s just classic ‘my generation was better and I’m too old to know what this one is really about’ 😆

But it does feel like ‘something’ has been lost.
