Anyone else think that the changes between 2001-2021 are nothing compared to 1980-2000?
80s nostalgia has also been a thing SINCE about 2001 lmao...

Only because of the 90s

2000 felt very changeful and I hear 80s was consistent. But I don't think anything can beat the 90s when it comes to changefulness since WWW took off then.

The 80s were absolutely not consistent. But even then, the mobile revolution (smartphones, streaming, 4G, ...) that took place between 2001 and 2021 is still pretty groundbreaking, impacted everyday life in a major way and is nothing to sneeze at.

The theme of the 21st century so far has been the culture war between the boomers who want to live in the 1950s (or 1980s) forever and those who want to embrace the future. From my memory, it was around the year 2000 that society at large began to fear the future more than embrace it. In the '90s, people were still optimistic about the future, technology, and where society was going to go. Once we get into the post-9/11 era, cynicism, paranoia, and traditionalism had taken over. During the Obama era and the coming of age of the Millennials it appeared that fever was going to break, but after 2016 it came back stronger than ever.

Traditionalism is ok it's just bad if it spills over into fascism. When that happens, nothing gets done and no technological innovations occur. We've seen this happen in 2016-onwards when Trump got elected. Everything slowed down and there was less innovation. And of course, the hatred and discrimination that comes with fascism is also a problem.
