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.

    Nope, you just can’t put your finger on what’s distinct now and you lack the contrast of what the future brings.

    Hair styles, fashion, design, colors, music, phones and other devices, all of that will be different in 10 years.

    Remember, facebook was all the rage in a different era and is now uncool. Same for twitter. That’s era defining as well.

      No.

      You say the Facebook Ear has past, but there are still literally billions of people logging in everyday.

      Your small set of friends might have passed on Facebook, but it hasn’t gone away.

      Moreover, when I say “hippie era” you think of certain clothes, certain music, etc etc.

      There’s no one style that defines the ‘Facebook Era.’
