Watching this a year later, your video popped up after I searched "are we at the end of culture?". For some reason this week I'm really getting this vibe that we're at the end of culture or time or like something big is on the horizon because where we are at now is unsustainable for the status quo to remain in place. There's a few explanations for it, but there is no denying it's a creepy feeling. It's partly due to post-modernism I think, and also the popular culture has splintered into a million different directions due to the internet. I also think part of the reason the decades of the second half of the 20th century are so identifiable is because pop culture media really exploded in a way it never had before and people as a whole for the most part were roughly on the same page as each other when it came to what TV shows, movies and music they were consuming. There was a certain cohesion that resulted, and it's been decimated by the internet. Kids would now rather watch Tik Tok or TH-cam than watch TV or go to a movie. Even major media corporations like Disney have hit a wall and are having failure after failure losing millions on shows and movies that don't find or connect with an audience. I don't think anyone really knows what comes next. Anyhow, good luck to you!
