One thing I’ve learned about history is that it was always way more colorful than it was presented. Classical era was not stark white, medieval was not muddy brown. They all popped with color and so did your pops.
yeah, most medieval castles were painted bright colours
Ah yes I remember the stories of how the pink castles offset the Black Death of the 1350’s.
But they could never hold back the tide of death metal!
Well, costumes nowadays are definitely black and white. And since the 19th century isn't it a bit less colorful overall?
Older than that and I 100% agree, especially when colors would show how wealthy you are.
Once again our perception of the 19th and 20th century are altered by the mediums which we experience them. Early photography, black and white movies of smoggy industrial districts. However if you witnessed a parade or a any other part of town it would be quite colorful.
I'm fifty.
When I was younger, I was terrified that one day I would wake up and be my father or some other stuffy old man that complains about "kids these days". I'm super glad that I never turned into that guy and remain my 22 year old self in my mind. That said, I picked up guitar again after a fifteen year break and "kids these days" don't know how good they have it. The quality of budget guitars is insane and the amount of free courses and music learning and creation tools is just brain melting.
Hey, you know what they say about our generation: At the age of 10 we were 30, and now at 50 we're still 30.
Ain't that the fucking truth.
The life of every Gen-X kid I grew up with was eerily similar.
