2016 - 2026 is the first decade that passed that has felt like both points are on the same timeline

[6ft4]

This is the first time a decade has passed where the point which was 10 years ago barely feels distant at all

When you look at all of the insta accounts posting stuff from 2016 as a 10 year throwback, things haven't really changed that much

By 2016, instagram influencer culture was well established, trump and brexit occured which was the rise of populism and anti establishment views which has just continued.

The old way of socializing with no phone or no social media focus was dead by 2016, music hasn't changed since 2016, there hasn't been a major shift in trends since then, gymcelling and looksmaxxing culture in it's earlier form had already become widespread

We are reaching the end game where culture remains stagnant and trends just oscillate back and forth from trend A to tend B indefinitely with nothing new taking hold.

 

[gimmedatacc]

how so?

 

[ChickenAndRiceBrah]

yep everything is just fuelled by algorithms, culture being driven by humans and varying geographically died mid 2010s
I would still go back to 2016 in a heartbeat

 

[Eskorbutin]

We are in a way worse spot IMO but CBA to redact

Same fuck nostalgia

 

[dickcelsunite]

There's like a 100x difference between 2006 and 2016 compared to 2016 to 2026. Its over

The Harrison twins probably lived some of the biggest slayer lives and all they had to do was inject roids and post physique pics to instagram, they didn't even need the luck of getting love island or reality tv star status

Being born in 1990 mogs being born in the mid 90s in this regard because they were in their physical prime as soon as the novelty of the social media era came around and they could be the early adopters

All “new trends” these days seem to just be revived things from the past, not very much is new at all.

Everything is 'aestheticized' but creativity is not important

 

[Elegant]

Don't u think AI will shake things up a bit in some way?

 

[Enfant terrible]

10 years ago I was like one of the only guys with curly hair now all the fags wearing it because its trendy
back then it was that undercut shit

Yes everyone feels the need to fit into one particular pre written category and to never step outside of that

 

[CorinthianLOX]

Yeah and therefore nothing new, profound and creative is created. Everything just feels like mush and hollow and unimportant.

I concur

 

[Whatever]

The mood is different though, I feel like people were much happier and much less anxious, inhibited, etc. in 2016.

gynocentrism has increased to all time levels in the past decade

This era feels like someone made a digital backup whose information has been backed up for far too many times, causing degradation, chaos, and errors in the process. Idk, feels like general cultural is just the past coming back to devour the future. Could just be us overreacting too. There could be slow decades

 

[Slayer]

We have reached the peak of the Information Age. Everyone is online and now with AI even people and things who aren’t real are online. People know too much, they have consumed more info than is healthy for a human (I think I made a thread about this while high).

I do feel like we are on the brink of a major cultural shift however.

In what way?

 

[infini]

Meanwhile the 1996 to 2006 gap was massive in comparison. With 2006 to 2016 also being substantial.

Music, specifically my then involvement for extreme metal since this timespan has died for the most part. Last paragraph about trends hitting hope but trends are overrated borderline on normie anyhow.

Everything is 'aestheticized' but creativity is not important

Yes it fcuking is. Creativity is the baseline for originality. AI has been the prominent distinction between now and 2016.

[edit]

Damn every single idea I brought up eventually was already followed through prior after reading this all. Great minds seem to come together at @6ft4’s content. Only bloke I follow here now. Unless any recommendations by all means.

 

[CHRIST_764]

Wtf are you talking about?

Time between 2016 and 2026 marked:

The new ethnic world

Fully tech-based world

Antisocial culture: looksmaxxing and countless chronically online communities

Devaluing of money:
Impossible to buy a house or even get by in 2026

Destruction of all soul and a 100x increase of NPCs in the white population

Countless of other shit I've gotten so used to that I can't even remember how it used to be

We watched the first half of the new world order unfold. Gradual destruction of everything good

Based , it is a brainwashing system that was developed to keep us like this.
No real-life communication or going out without checking the phone for DMs or notifications.
Modern life is destroying human nature day by day, and the world is so retard to even realise that or to do something about it.
