You know what makes me sad? Decades were defined by their specific styles, fashion and decor. They had their own unique, real "aesthetic" personality. It's easy to look at a picture and estimate the decade. However the later years from 2010 and on, feel so empty. It feels generic, sanitized, hollow and cookie-cutter in the blandest way possible. There's nothing that stands out because nothing stays around longer than a little bit. It not just social media trends either. I'm so happy it was brought up, but even corporations or companies and their logos are devoid of any creativity and uniqueness. "Everyone" is so scared of looking dated, cringe or out-there that they've basically fallen in line, like a precursor to a dystopian future where it's uniformity above all.

[@DefyReality-ll2cg]

[@anggard-mz6dw]

[@erichouse3600]

I agree with the cookie cutter feel. It's basically that this person got "likes" and views , this MUST be how I have to be. This is no uniqueness to anything anymore.

[@aphrodieMonkey]

Other, more nuanced side of the side of the coin; decades are highly uniform in their aesthetic, precisely because everyone adhered to the contemporary trend, so well to make decades distinguishable. Ironically, you're very much quantifying the past as a novelty by their uncontradictory aesthetic. In many ways, uniqueness is actually more widespread and encouraged now. That doesn't change the fact that people are still people, and culture dominates lifestyles, there will always be a particular quota onstage. It's just now it's more fleeting, offset by the more prevalent individuality, disregard for trend, more open-mindedness, and probably most significantly, the broadening capitalistic market where mass variety over quality reigns supreme. Don't be fooled by the front page of a TikTok; media has a knack for positioning itself as a perfect portrait of the world, when in reality, they are still quite a ways distanced.

I had a girl who looked no older than 13 throw a mini tantrum at me because the self checkout wouldn't take her $20; she was literally shoving it in the bottom slot that *gives* your change back. A lot of people think they can tap their cards to the screen to pay since it must be the hip new way to pay now, and when we tell them they have to insert their cards chip-first, they get really confused, and usually insert it backwards, or swipe when their cards don't even have a strip to swipe...

As a gen Z i deleted basically all social media except whatsapp and youtube because i was so fed up with it literally since i deleted it ive felt so much calmer and less insecure This is your sign too just delete social media because no one can tell you or influence you on how you have too live your life Social media was supposed too be fun but its not anymore because people ask so much of you constantly things are in and out of trend,hating,making people feel insecure(despite claiming theyre all about body positivity) Yes people might be telling me now im not caught up at all but atleast im not constantly being influenced and just doing what i want and what i feel good doing

[@zanzamanzaanza5981]

Also born in '01, also on the spectrum (if that's what you mean by ASD). Realistically, everything shown here is just a bad vocal minority that gets overrepresented on social media. We're not necessarily going backwards (in most respects), there's always been ~30-40% of people that are just kind of terrible or hard to be around, Gen Z was never going to be an exception just because we started off with a little bit more hindsight. Most of that's not really important because all the terrible or dumb things people say sometimes (especially younger people) don't really matter at all. It's just noise you have to filter out. Of course, some of these guys have a negative influence, but that's not new by any means. To the extent that it's exacerbated by social media, it's just one of many historical examples of a new technology with big ramifications that we have to adapt to & regulate as a society. I know, that in & of itself has uncomfortable ramifications. We all want the culture we knew growing up to be in a cozy stasis forever, but that's not really an option & the alternative isn't some dystopia to fear or resent (as alien as it may be). All you can do is appreciate the good stuff we still have while we have it & find ways to look past what we don't have anymore. Hope I've provided some value to anyone reading this.

This is reminding me of the book “Red Scarf Girl”. It takes place during the cultural revolution in china and how everyone had to get rid of ‘the four olds’. ‘Old ideas, old culture, old habits, and old customs.’ It’s basically the equivalent of saying ‘that’s cringe’ but since they didn’t have anything to replace it, people didn’t know what to do instead. I’m sure a lot of things still came back eventually but we’re just rebranded as ‘new’. I was teaching a class of 7th graders when reading this book and asked them what if we got rid of Christmas because it’s ‘old’ and the kids didn’t like that idea at all. P.s. before anyone comes at me about other holidays around that time or that not everyone celebrates Christmas, I’m from a rural middle of no where Iowa. We don’t have that big of a diverse population. The only churches around here are Christian base churches of some kind. Not to mention, people who aren’t religious still celebrate for the family aspect too.

If you put your credit card in your phone and then use a phone case to hold your ID you are screwed if you lose your phone/your phone gets stolen. Trust me as an almost 40-year-old lady who has either lost of had her stuff stolen more than once: you want your phone, your money and all IDs separate of each other. Also, always have the emergency card blocking numbers of your banks in your phone. If you lose your wallet you can still use your phone to block the cards, whereas if your phone is lost and all you use to pay is your phone... You're screwed. Replacing IDs is a royal PITA and you can't do it it without a working phone number and means of payment.

The guy comparing the trends with gen z and millennials is SO accurate. Being a late millennial (‘95) I have both fairy curtain lights AND an LED strip on my tv hahaha. Gen z picking apart Instagram stories? Super weird. Millennials grew up having FUN with social media and not following ANYONES guidelines. My MySpace had a hello kitty layout with brass knuckles scattered throughout.. we just had so much enjoyment with customization and never collectively followed a “posting guideline” to make sure your page looked the most aesthetically pleasing. We actually hated people copying us so badly, we would hide our MySpace music player in our layout coding so people couldn’t steal our MySpace songs lmao. We all wanted to be different, so both generations have a wildly different outlook on posting currently on social platforms. Also cracking up at the scrunch face, I hate it so much, the duck face and the hair poof combo was a whole look. Y’all need to bring that back the “jersey shore circa 2009” aesthetic to come after the “mob wife” aesthetic IMO, I’ll dig out my bump its hahaha

Stop enabling her. You’re not doing her any favours. All she’s learning is that you’re there to clean up her bad decisions.

I’ve met so many embarrassingly incompetent “adults” at university who were used being nannied by their parents. Don’t let your daughter be one of them. Let her live with her own consequences. It’s better she learn now than when she’s an adult. Unless she’s actually having an emergency, like an injury, she deal with her own mess to ask the school office or her friends for fem products. If she has a locker, she can store a bunch in there. If she’s going to school, she must have a backpack. She can spare one pocket for a fem product. There’s nothing kind about letting her grow up to be irresponsible.

At the family outing, if I didn’t have something, my parents asked me why didn’t I pack it if I knew I would want it later. That taught me to plan ahead. My parents made me clean up my own room or they’d come with a garbage bag because “if I can’t be bothered to look after my own things, then I have too much stuff.” I have younger siblings who learned to be responsible for themselves in childhood too. We all learned to do our own laundry when we were tall enough to use the washing machine. This is called parenting. It takes years for children to learn to become responsible for themselves.
