Do you feel it's the end of "eras"? (sh.itjust.works)

I feel like maybe around 2012 the whole concept of eras died.

Like I can clearly visualize items/people/media from the 60s/70s/80s/90s/00's, but everything is homogenized now and there's really no "style of the time" either. I think everything from 2013+ will just be remembered as a malaise era, if anything. Maybe the style of the 2050's will be post cyberpunk apocalyptic? I have no idea.

You're forgetting about all of the AI slop

A lot of us still manage to live in the real world and the clothing real people wear and the way they style their hair and makeup isn't really an "AI slop" thing.

If you want to define the 2020's by AI you're self categorizing as "extremely online/terminally online/chronically online."

You do realize ai will drive all future styles and anything kids do right? Its already happening. Good for them but im not into it.

There's literally ai paintings being sold in stores right now. Tons of online videos are just slop now.
