Truth - Out Of Fashion

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.  Even though you may not be a person who follows fashion; a fashionista, or a person who cares about trends and styles...you still notice.   You still notice what is the latest trends on what people wear.  You might not care about what people wear or what you wear, but you notice eventually.

You notice because movies, TV, friends, family all give a glimpse of what is the "norm".  When I watch a movie, I always look at cars in the background to get a good idea of when it was taken.  Not time piece movies, but real time movies.  You can tell by looking at someone with a mullet that it was probably in the 80s.  You can easily spot a chick with 80s hair.  When you see neon clothes or Miami Vice type wear, you know it is the 80s as well.

You know what the grunge look is (I hated that by the way).  You know what 50's, 60s, and 70s trends and fashions were.  You can look at someone and say "Hey 1986 called and they want their neon aqua blue shirt back", because you just know.  You may not know today what the deal is, but in 10 years people will say man that is so 2012.

The same applies to any other aspect of pop culture.  Nothing new here, people for the most part are taught threw conversations, history, television etc what was popular and when.  I am curious to know if you think about what is hot today or the norm will be noticeable 10 or 20 years from now.  Are you aware of what is what today?   I don't think it is important, because back in the 90s, or 80s etc, you probably weren't thinking what will be the next trend, or what will be outdated.  I'm sure we will laugh at blogs someday, laugh at Iphones, laugh at GPS units etc.  I just don't think anyone notices that type of thing when you are in the now.  Not that they should, but I just find it interesting.
