    the 1920s had a distinct personality though.

    2020s are halfway done and I couldn’t tell you a single unique thing about them.

      Working from home becoming a norm. Public disdain for the ultra wealthy supposedly making it’s way into the norm.

      Those are two i can think of off the top of my head for social stuff.

      For music it could be genre fusions becoming more of a standard thing rather than something niche. Post hardcore fusing with country has been a big mood these past few years. Probably started a little bit before but it’s everywhere now, to be honest country fusing with any genre is becoming the in thing.

        everywhere

        there is no longer an everywhere for it to be. that’s exactly what the death of the monoculture is.

        Taylor Swift has had a longer career than the Beatles and there are people that have never heard a Taylor song.

          I mean it was never true. The way we described those old decades are mostly in the viewpoint of the UK, US and other similar countries mostly.
