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.

edit: Score 4695 Avg. Years Off 3.0

Is that really true? It is true for me, but I always assumed that is just because I were younger last century. In 1990 I could easily tell if someone was looking like 1980, but today I could never guess if someone looked like 2015 or 2025. I would be happy to learn that this is because fashion actually slowed down, but until proven wrong I will just assume it is because I am older and not paying attention.

It's the length of the socks

Apparently Gen Z prefer crew socks as opposed to millennial ankle socks.
