I really hope the bland, characterless decades don't just keep coming on. Not that I'm too thrilled about having another sixties-- another seventies would be just fine!

Like the 60's is associated with hippies, and the 80's is associated with really strange music videos and fashions.<br /><br />I don't know. But it seems like a lot of stuff to remember to give importance to every decade. I think that there hasn't really been anything particularly interesting that happened in the 90's, 00's, or 10's. Maybe it's just harder to notice when living in the time, but I hear and see things about older decades and it all seems so unique, whereas now everything seems bland and not particularly original. Maybe the increase in world wide communication has made it too difficult for any one style to become dominant. Antainenoreply@blogger.com
