Which year: guess which year each photo was taken

One interesting observation is how much less variation there has been in clothes for the past 20 years or so. Someone from 2005 could look completely undisguisable from someone today, by just wearing regular non-fashion forward 2005 clothes. Same goes for haircuts.

Same can't really said about someone from 1955 and 1975, 1980 - 2000, etc.

It's an interesting phenomenon that you can observe with other things as well like tastes in music. I think it has something to do with people having access to about sixty years of people trying out just about everything they could think off. It's all been done before at this point and it's all available in new and fresh forms. So, it's no longer about collectively picking something that is genuinely new but individuals cherry-picking whatever that they like. And it helps of course that we're not funneling media through a handful of TV channels, newspapers, etc. anymore like we used to. So people cherry pick where they get their information as well.

> It's all been done before

Until something new is done ;)

The sound pallette is just about infinite with what's possible.s.

I think modern music has become homogenous because true art is risky and won't pass a modern focus group.
