I feel like the 2010s are the first decade in 100 years that doesn’t have a recognizable aesthetic or vibe.

Every decade since the Roaring Twenties had its own recognizable culture, visual aesthetic, music and so on. In the 2010s, the Internet allowed us to become cultural omnivores. It’s good that everybody had access to whatever niche subculture they enjoy but it also meant that there was no more monoculture that we all shared.

    Then 2010s going on into the 2020s may not seem like they had a particular style, but they do and we won’t know it until it’s 2045.

    I can already tell tbh, 2025 is a lot more gradient-heavy and a bit more saturated than 2019
