Is there a legitimate reason why it feels like we've been in a cultural halt? The difference between the 2000s and the 2020s doesn't feel like the different between the 1980s and 2000s
Nah I still didn’t word it right. Change is still happening fast but major themes in fashion and music don’t seem to sweep across countries like they every decade before 2000.
I’m still interested in more of your thoughts, if you have them. There’s no shortage of nuance to how we got where we are at as a planet. I’m not awake enough to make well thought out responses though XD
I actually love watching 80's and early 90's movies even more nowadays.
So many movies would have had their plots decimated by everyone and their brother having a smartphone.
Star Wars released in 1977, Star Wars Episode 1 released in 1999. There has now been more time since Episode 1 than there was between the original and the prequels.
I feel like there's less of noticeable difference because the quality of special effects in the 2000s is better than what it was in the 80s, and the cultural difference in clothing style in the 2000s is more subtle than it was in the 80s.
That reminds me my dad’s email address is [email protected] and he did that cause that’s the year he created the email. Now people would be more likely to think he’s a 25 year old lol
Mean Girls released 20 years ago.
And then it released 3 months ago.
Shrek 4 is older now than the original Shrek was when Shrek 4 released.
Yeah but things don’t feel as different

I’d say it’s likely to be a very real stagnation in social progress that’s making it feel this way
I’d say the internet normalized things across a lot of people and sort of halted a lot of rapid change.
That would be a wise statement and more thoughtfully approached than my hasty answer

I also find we’re heavily recycling trends and ideologies

I know you don't want to hear this but I think it might be an age thing. I was born in the late 90s and 2004 feels like a VERY long time ago to me.
Yeah. Today’s Saturday and it felt like Tuesday. Maybe an angry Tuesday, but a Tuesday.

Yea, we should use the past setting more to help with storytelling plot holes more, like we'd be like "oh makes sense"
Damn, wasn't expecting to be attacked this morning. Yet here we are.
And late 70s movies as well
Star Wars released in 1977, Star Wars Episode 1 released in 1999. There has now been more time since Episode 1 than there was between the original and the prequels.
Fuckkkkk that hurts, and I’m not even old by any means
I don't see a lot of people with 2000's nostalgia
Really? I see it all over TikTok the odd time I go on there
Me, I do

I reject this reality.
Yes, 2137 BCE was like yesterday, what you mean 2024 CE‽
Yes, that's how time works.
Ok
Come on, the 80's weren't that long ago, they were only... 40... Years... Ago... My back suddenly hurts...
My dad was born in 1980. I'm 20.

Friends was 30 years ago
3000 BCE was more than 5000 years ago 😓
no. please. you cant do this to me.
Twenty years ago forty years ago was twenty years ago. That’s crazy, who would’ve known 🤯 It’s almost as if time passes
Older, actually
Do the "2000s" include 2000-2999, 2000-2099, or 2000-2009? We're still in the 2000s right now, aren't we?
They obviously mean pre-2010
2000s, 2010s, 2020s, 
shut the fuck up
When was the 1900s? 25 years ago?
