@@you2be839 Narcissist much? Actually you probably do "dress to impress" by conforming to popular norms and be accepted by the crowd around you. Guaranteed.

[@library4theblind]

Lest we be too hasty and fail to remember that many of these "popular norms" reinforce dichotomized socialization patterns which seek to exclude those who are unable to don such garb. Sexist & misogynistic, racist, and classist stereotypes or expectations that are reproduced through society that choke one's ability to think critically about their own needs, as well as providing a blank slate for the individual to determine how they want to dress. All that being said, I'm not opposed to people "dressing to impress," and in fact, clothing which makes people feel confident is the prerogative here -- but it should be the ability of the individual to determine what that means.

Some of that "old" architecture really seems to fit into the environment better. Modern architecture often seems to want to "stand out" and often times old trees are cut down to make way for a more "manicured" look.

People forget that many of the building shown in the video where relatively new in 1935 (example Vesterport Station was build in 1934, 3:30 grundvigs Kirke 1921-1940), . And where in 1935 referred to as "modern architecture". Some of these landmarks was opposed because of their modernish, but today we see them ad old beautiful landmark, make you wonder what modern building build today will be see as historical in 89 years time.

I'm from a city just north of Copenhagen and have lived in the Copenhagen area for 95% of my life. So fascinating to see when you know the places and how they look today. 1935 is when my grandparents were young kids. I usually mostly watch those videos when they are older, only choosing to watch it because it's from Copenhagen. Byt being a bit newer also made it more fascinating as the picture quality was better, maybe that's also what made the peoples look even more real than in is of the other videos I have watched. Though there were some color issues, for instance, the S-trains probably were red if not maybe dark green, anyway pretty sure they never were black like that. It's also an interesting time as it's from shortly before WW2.
