When are the 90s finally going to end?

When National Socialism re-emerges

[Anonymous No.13356238]

I'm a Zoomer, a child of the Turn of the Millenium. To me, the 90s represent a time of nostalgia, even thought when you look at them objectively, they were very violent times, with multiples messy wars and terrorism on the rise. The 90s bled over into the 00s, albeit diluted in a mire of celebrity worship and delusional denial of reality. However, the 90s are the definitely over. The new 10s are a world apart from what came before, they're not comparable.

quintessential post that encapsulates the zeitgeist of the decade.
Don't worry OP, this is the last year of this cursed decade, next year we're entering sci-fi years. Time for cyberpunk kino to become a reality

I think the popularisation of the internet and smart phones is the significant demarcation Line. You're right about 90s bleeding into the 00s, but things changed forever after 2007

Jesus Christ Fisher is such an appalling writer, conceptually I found his ideas in this book to be intriguing but I don't understand how anyone can take him seriously as an intellectual.

The 90's ended for everyone but Fisher. He was the sad-boi of theorycels and was increasingly morphing into a dime-a-dozen "Kids These Days Don't Know REAL Music" critic-curmudgeon. Fisher sometimes would make a salient point and then, because he could not help himself, try and shoehorn in a reference to Blake's 7 or something equally inappropriate and achieve nothing from it except his own satisfaction that he got to talk about that thing he likes.

To be fair, Fisher's argument was rather that cultural change has remarkebly slowed down compared to earlier decades.
Compare for example the rapid changes in pop adn rock music we saw between 1965 and 1980, and compare them to changes we saw between 2004 and today.

I've always kinda wondered what Fisher expected to happen though, I feel like the rapid cultural change that occurred from 50s - 80s was bound to slow down at some point. Like he points to Burial and stuff as an evolution in music but where do you go from there? Ambient electronic music is music stripped down to its absolute barest. What comes after that that could be considered new?

I wouldn't mind if he was just observing the phenomenon but he always seemed upset, I just don't know what he expected

maybe aesthetically we're still seeing through the same postmodernist trend (arguable) but everything else in the world has radically changed with the recent social technology revolution
