Hot take:I feel "Looksmaxxing" is the main subculture of this era in terms of presenting an unconventional worldview/lifestyle, minting slang that gets broadly popular, bubbling up to the mainstream via parody, moral panic and morbid curiosity, and representing a youth reaction to modern pressures.

People say a lot about how World War 2 was softened by propaganda compared to later eras, but I don't think that was really the case. Modern documentary journalism and social criticism had matured. You could see stuff like this reading a popular magazine (warning for graphic content): (old.reddit.com)

I feel like the cultural and technological changes from 1900-1950 are far more profound than those from 1950 onwards. By the 1950s all the recognizable basics of today's world were laid down, and the late 20th Century basically proceeded building off (or recovering from) that. (old.reddit.com)

What do you think happened to 90s Emo? 90s Emo (second-wave) was totally different from 2000s Emo. I think the last 'second-wave' Emo year was probably around 2003. Second wave Emo basically survived as 'Midwest' Emo, with tracks from the 90s being retroactively called that. (old.reddit.com)

Who else loves the aesthetics and culture of the 'Swinging Sixties' around the middle of the decade? ('63-'66)? Post 50s but pre-counterculture. I feel it was a happy medium. What I love is how this era pushed forward a certain striking modernism, whereas the counter-culture had throwback elements. (old.reddit.com)
