I had to explain the concept of Vaporwave to my father, a musician who was active throughout the '80’s. I told him it’s zeitgeist for an era that never actually happened. So I think this hits the nail on the head.
There are similar, albeit less ᴀ ᴇ s ᴛ ʜ ᴇ ᴛ ɪ ᴄ, notions for other decades as well.
Everyone thinks the 1950’s were a nonstop sock hop and an episode of Leave it to Beaver.
Everything thinks the entirety of the 1960’s was Woodstock.
Everything in the 1970’s was brown and orange, or wood grain, and had a ridiculous mustache on it.
…But then, everything that everyone knows happened didn’t actually happen in the decade everyone thinks it did anyway.
I’d think the wording should be more like
‘… back to the way they never got the chance to be’
80s/90s according to tv: You live in a large house with a huge bedroom and own everything anyone at the time would have wanted.
80s/90s reality: You more than likely owned almost nothing. Except for the lucky few, you were most likely broke and everyone you knew were broke too. You did happen to own a piece of shit VCR.
Idk I remember if you worked at Sears selling VCRs you could afford a modest home. Or at least an apartment without having roommates. You could get a car and see concerts, ballgames, and movies. The food wasn’t all garbage processed milk and eggs were cheap a lb of burger was like 2 bucks. Cable TV/streaming wasn’t 150 dollars a month. You still could make it work. After 9/11 that dream ended.
2001-2008 there was still hope… but yeah once they bailed out the parasite class, then successfully suppressed public lashing out in NYC. It was a wrap for the pedon class but even then most were in denial until COVID hit.
THEN THEY AGAIN BAILED OUT THE PARASITE CLASS
I think we are finally hitting the critical mass of population who got woke on the class war issue.
I’d love a pre Big Bang universe
it’s the same, but Michael Jackson moonwalks forward
Is this c/fascistaeathetics now
Not sure where that’s coming from, I’m an anti fascist and interpreted this as more about how nostalgia twists our memory
“going back to a past that never existed” is a pretty common internet esoteric fasho thing
You should probably go for a walk outside more often.
No, you should stay inside more
I know where you’re getting that from but I think it’s a stretch.
What’s the context for that comment?
Well, there is such a thing as “Fashwave” for some damn fool reason.
According to who?
The my little dark age posters I guess?
