Personally, I've been through all of that. For primarily aesthetic reasons give or take I would say the 80s, but at the same time I feel like it's about time we move into a dystopian future. It would be a dystopian future because we haven't fully realized a post-marxist society, that's not full flown communist tankie style soviet.
I'll try to explain the 90s to you. Basically, there's a difference between the recessions and the economic booms. The current economic model, and I guess it would be the result of capitalism, is designed so that booms and busts (recessions) are inherent to the economic system. It's cyclic basically, it's predictable and you can expect it for sure. It's a part of the system. I can't remember at all at the top of my head but I'll try my best I guess. During the industrial revolution era is also when capitalism became more widely spread.
There used to be this really old fashioned style and aesthetic. I don't remember right now where it all comes from originally, but you can look at parts of Europe. It was just popular for some reason. Due to the economic boom of the 1920s, it became more nuanced and celebrated in a way. Like there was fashion, culture and style in certain places during the 1920s for sure, fast forward to the 1930s, the style from the 1920s is still there in a sense, but it's changed quite differently. Well. I should say it was not just style like clothing but architecture even as well. It was just about everything to an extent. What happens with the 1930s, they basically start trying to change everything, they strip everything away, the lighten everything up, and they take away a lot of the feeling from the world and environments around us.
But what also happened is that there was also this way of living, mentality, belief systems and culture surrounding recessions, (even though capitalism was still new to an extent) but really it was also just basically poverty culture. Because being poor basically is what a recession is. If you are out in the cold, and poor, hungry, whatever. You are in some type of recession more or less, even if it's not like that for everyone around you.
But than flash forward to the 1950s and the style that was used for so long, (who knows how long it was really, like I said it dates back to the 18th century at least) is just forgotten about, and they change everything. It's an economic boom, and it's way different. It's hard to really say what was diff
