I love this question, but the unfortunate sort of boring answer is that the internet sort of granulized culture so much. This is in general like the shared culture debate of why don’t we talk about tv shows at the water cooler anymore.<p>I think the 20th century will have a unique significance throughout history because it was a time of such dramatic design / social / economic change, _and_ that that change was documented, by documentation technology that was also sort of signicantly changing by decade. There’s a chance that in 2450AD “eighties music” still refers to music from the 1980’s.<p>After watching his whole video, I don’t agree with his conclusion but do agree with some of the problems caused by referring to things by generation or based on shared trauma.
