On the topic of "do 20 year olds today see 1990s the same way we saw 60s-70s?"
I feel like cultural distances are shrinking in time. Ie. there was a large gap between say 70s and 90s, but the distance between 90s and 2010s is less so.
2000s and 2020s are even closer.
2010s and 2030s will be very similar.
2040s and 2060s may be even indistinguishable.Etc

- Womens lives changed. They started wearing pants literally and figuratively and joined the workforce in earnest. This changed the worldmonospaced

- Try to think of time as “percentage of my life” rather than strict days or years.nb
- Maybe we’re just old and can’t tell them apartscarabin
- I think trends were more all-sweeping in the past, there was less individualism in fashion/music. Maybe this is why 60s or 70s appear so pronounceddrgs
