Is anybody else fascinated by how things that used to be soooo important end up becoming nothing with time?Marriages used to be "a girl's biggest day." Nowadays, I don't know a single person who wants to get married. People still do for documents and finacial reasons only.Television and movies were the most important mainstream platforms. Can we still call them mainstream anymore?Tattoos still make old people enraged for some reason, but now they're just normalized.Having a degree is still popular, despite declining in significance.Old people used to say, "Depression is a luxury! Lack of work." It was shameful to be sad. I grew up hearing this. How angry they got over depressed people. nowadays, everybody openly admits it like it's nothing.A Catholic guy marrying a Protestant woman was scandalous! They had to be buried in different cemeteries. Now, who bats an eye about a guy dating his AI girlfriend?This is so fascinating to me. One thing shapes one generation and is discarted as paper on the other
I also think that it's weird, like generational changes are nothing new, but such extreme changes across the board so fast has really made me intrigued. A lot of it rhymes too, like how instead of girls being really into religious morals, girls nowadays are really into progressive morals. Or how poor and young Italian guys in the past used to idealize the mob while nowadays poor and young hispanic guys do the same with the cartel. It's almost like we have these sorta baseline dynamics that, despite shifting with the times, stay pretty similar regardless.
>>83441086Nowadays weddings are like a humiliation ritual. A normie works hard in this economy to get a good paying job only to end up getting a run through whore who used to have multiple chads taking turns on her.
It's a mentality that had a hold in our lives and made us walk and think a certain way, then all of the sudden it vanishes like it never even existed. It's barely a memory
If you're disregarding religion (most young people do) legit what's the point of even getting married? You get to share income? Doesn't matter when you're a dual income household (most young couples are). You get to jointly file your taxes ig or both be equal legal guardians for your potential children (most young couples don't want).
the good things became too commercialized or were watered down. for example, marriage now has nothing to do with religious union or joining families, it's just an occasion for product and service consumption that grants different legal regulation. the bad things have either been completely forbidden and combatted, which is more viable in a modern society due to greater capacity for enforcement, or have had stigmas substantially relaxed because it's more effective to simply let people do whatever they want in all respects that do not get in the way of the system's interests.
