re: Why does 20 years ago feel so recent but “20 years ago” in 2004 felt ancient?

I agree. The 50’s thru 90’s all had their own style, music, trends etc that you associate with that decade.

Everything past 2000 all seems to blend together.


... you are right ...

mostly because events and experiences were new and never experienced before. But as the years and decades progressed these events and experiences were "borrowed" or "expanded" upon due to lack of creativity.
It happens all the time

Take for instance, the movie industry ... Star Wars ...

The original Star Wars was a phenomenon, but the theme and plot were "borrowed" and "expanded" upon by series and knockoffs. But as you can see, the original Star Wars lives on forever.
The same can be said about the Beatles and their music.

... then without the original powerhouse creative ideas flowing, you end up with a remix of everything that has happened before which does not seem to make much of an imprint on the conscious memory. This is where everything starts to blend together.
