Kids today are obsessed with the past
Dressing up based on past decades trends
Going thrifting and searching for vintage decor and furniture
Taking pictures with film and Polaroid
Listening to music on vinyl again
It’s very telling

This is all things I do btw lol
there's a drive for authenticity. those are the first stops off the highway on that path.
What I love most about their drive for authenticity is that it includes sharing their thoughts & the truth openly at any cost. These kids know they’re loved & appreciated for who they are so I hope they stay as beautiful and never need to wear masks or fake anything to fit in society. Bless all kids 🤍
I think in this day and age they are starving for and deprived of authenticity, that simpler, more analog times see so romantic. Also maybe a collective version of "Rosy Retrospection" happening ...
And in fashion, we've always been reviving past decades. Trends used to come back every 30 years as a rule of thumb and I read somewhere that now it's closer to every 15! The cyclical nature of fashion is unsurprisingly getting faster and faster. I find this interesting 😁
I love how there is no surveillance capitalism when I’m playing a record. I can just listen without having my behavior logged. Assuming my neighbors’ Alexas can’t hear
Yeah. But I think that happens all the time. In the 90s kids started wearing 70s-inspired fashion for example.
That and old things aren't familiar and hold a novelty modern things don't have.
