I think it's deeply funny that there's this aspect of culture where people just kind of are shocked to discover that old people used to be young and hot and that clothing hasn't changed that much.
Something something capitalist realism, something something end of history. Big point connecting the capitalist flattening of time on the social level but also on the individual, psychological level. Something something fart joke
i think it becomes more amusing as we become older. like, if a young Gregory Broussard got out of Chrysler Fifth Avenue wearing a dayglo orange vinyl suit and walked down Flatbush carrying a set of speakers playing "Egypt, Egypt" loud-as-fuck, microdosing Brooklyn podcasters would crap themselves tweeting about how the edgiest future of art music just happened until the two guys in their 60s playing chess started doing perfectly sync'd isolation moves.
