Why Doesn't Anything Look Cool Anymore?

[Adamant]

This video is very timely. I've been wondering myself why almost everything nowadays looks so bland and boring compared to decades past where everything was vibrant, eye popping, and cool. Maybe there's more to "back in my day" than meets the eye.

Maybe your eyes are going bad

What I’m more concerned about is 20 something year old dudes think this is a good haircut. The broccoli hairstyle… wtf..



Or this…

Seriously, if I ever showed up to school back in the day looking like Lloyd Christmas, I don’t think I would have ever heard the end of it.

Do they think this looks cool?

The internet has homogenized just about every aspect of design.

My kid has the broccoli hair cut. kids will do what they will do. you did the same when you were a kid. let the next generation do their own thing. You don't realize but your elders were saying the same shit about your hair or music or whatever when you were that age. Such is life.

I’ve gotta ask. Do they go to the barber and ask for a perm?

I mean that was the jam back in the 80s. Now I’m wondering if the Jheri curl and the mullet are gonna make a comeback.

Yes. The broccoli cut is a perm.

Post-post-post-modernism. Started around the time of the Renaissance and hit the wall around the French Revolution and now it's just been slinking down slowly but surely. That's why everything's gay.

 

[Brofessor]

LOL broccoli hair and baggy ass clothes. It's the 80s again.

I'm not gonna watch that video because I steer clear of those complaining videos, but based on what the OP says, it reminds me of this line from The Sopranos...

"You drive around America today and everything looks the fucking same"

 

[Plissken]

I saw this vid in my recommendeds which was pretty good as well.

Including the Mayberry obvs

If you're any older than 35, you have to make peace with trends moving on without your blessing/understanding.

I'm 37, and I hear guys my age do the whole old head rants about "kids these days, soft, lazy they're so fucked and we were so great" and I can't help think that that's just cope for the most part. We're all just 20+ years removed from high school, we're getting closer to jaded/cynical every day.
But that baggage shouldn't be projected onto young ppl by us anymore than when our elders did it to us.

One actual significant difference is that we were the last generation to party underage and finger chicks before getting our first cell phone.
I got my first basic ass nokia phone in senior year. Kids now are raised on smart phones and tablets, they'll never get to do life in the order that we did.
Calling them all fairies and chodes is a bit unfair, and seems to come from dudes' bitterness more than any kind of well adjusted assessment

But it's not just that. Watch a couple minutes of the video. Look at the way things were made then vs now. Look at McDonald's then vs now. That's one example of MANY.

As for the "Soft, lazy, etc" of then vs now. I actually think there's something to that. Just look at how badass Gen X kids were vs kids of the last 10 years. It's night and day.

Hell, even Millennial kids look badass compared to Gen Z kids.

I just stick with traditional long hair past my shoulders cut. No undercut, no mullet, etc.

 

[DaleBoca]

I just still with traditional long hair past my shoulders cut. No undercut, no mullet, etc.

I did in my 20s. I brought it back during the VID. I just keep mine middle length ala Bradley Cooper. I guess the benefit of still having my hair keeps me young…enough.
