Why does 1975-1995 seem like a large span of time?

quote:

But 2003 doesn't feel like it was very long ago?

---

We have a slower perception of time when we're younger

Right in the middle….

“Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19
1985”

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it

I think maybe 2003-2023 seems longer because we have had phenomenal technological advances at the same moment IQ’s started to drop precipitously and the culture clearly dumbed down. 1985-1995 was cake,-fun , freedom and adventure. 2003-2023 has a weird conformist, unauthentic , dystopian feel of decline and impending doom and that feeling is quickening.

1980-2000 felt like an eternity for me. 2000-2020 felt like 5 years.

because you see the 7 8 9 change in those numbers vs 1 and 2 changing now

There was a lot of culture change between 75-95. 70's 80's and 90's were all just so pronounced individually. Music, movies, television, technology, cars, etc...So it just feels like 3 sperate lifetimes.

2003 and today look the damn same. Music is more or less the same, movies hold up from 03. We're pretty much wearing the same shite. There have been no significant cultural changes like it was back then. So day in and day out almost nothing changes, so it goes by quicker. At least this is the way I'm seeing it.

Are the early 2000s really that different from now?

beehole pics have become more of the norm instead of the exception

were you a child/teenager during the '75-'95 period?

Because it involved 3 major cultural shifts

End of Vietnam and the issues in Washington leading to a depressed country
The rebirth of America and the end of the Cold War
The dawn of the internet and the shifting technological advances in the US military complex
