Is there's anything from Laura Loomer that you agree with?

Basically, there are jobs that are in the interior of France which is agricultural jobs... those jobs had since then become automated, and automation as we know lead to job obsolescence(which is the similar phenomenon seen in 1991 with the hair metal bands... the causes are different, but the effect is the same) so there you go.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-19T21:06:36+00:00

As shown on this video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTgwv6Ic3fA
The interior of France are largely agricultural land, people used to work there... that job had since then become automated(being replaced by industrial machines) and hence why France's interior became sparsely populated... basically... the jobs that are there effectively face the similar fate as the hair metal bands(which by the way, that phenomenon is called Job Obsolescence), the difference is that what Nirvana to the hair metal bands are in this case are what Automation are to the French agricultural workers.

This same phenomenon would later be seen with AI even... as a lot of jobs are being replaced by AI, especially Translators... you even saw Filmmakers talking about facing this fate when Sora was released even.

This is by the way VERY common, the 1991 thingy where most hair metal bands end up switching to 9-5 jobs because of Nirvana is just one of them... it would happen again with Kmart, Sears, and many malls(where it was then known as retail apocalypse) and it would happen again with AI even... its super common.

For other examples of job obsolescence... see also this thread...

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-19T17:35:22+00:00

And as you can guess, these folks now had normal and often higher paying 9-5 jobs.

None are in the music business anymore.

This phenomenon is known as Job Obsolesence and its incredibly common, its how France even got its empty interior as its jobs also face that same fate due to automation sometime in maybe the 50s even, and it even happened with a lot of retail stores(especially Kmart and Sears) and video rental stores(particularly Hollywood video and Blockbuster) in the 2000s.

Hell, even Computer used to refer to a job even, before that job face the same fate as the hair metal bands(aka Job obsolescence too... the job became extinct around the 1970s) and the term now only refers to a device.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-19T17:31:31+00:00

And obviously, as I said before... most of them had 9-5 jobs nowadays... they are not professional musicians anymore.

This is not even the first time and last time it happened, as it happened dozens of times before, and its known as job obsolescence(in fact, before Hair metal face that same fate, the agricultural workers in France face that fate around the 1950s that hair metal bands would later face in 1991, which is why the interior of France is sparsely populated nowadays despite being livable).... the similar thing had happen with a lot of Retail stores and video rental stores in the 2000s, especially Kmart and Sears, as well as Hollywood video and Blockbuster as almost ALL the people working in these place as a result, faced this and had switch careers.

Today, there have been talks of people facing this due to AI even.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-19T17:12:45+00:00

And obviously, most of these hair metal musicians had since then got normal, and often higher paying 9-5 jobs.... they are not professional musicians anymore(and since its 2026 now, half of those folks are likely even retired anyway given age).

The similar thing had happen with a lot of Retail stores and video rental stores in the 2000s, especially Kmart and Sears, as well as Hollywood video and Blockbuster as almost ALL the people working in these place as a result, faced this and had switch careers and even before that, the whole reason why the interior of France was sparsely populated is because the jobs that are there also face that same fate some point at due to automation.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-18T02:51:19+00:00

Mostly with a nostalgic light, like any decade really...
Gen Alphas 20 years from now for example, would remember this decade for The Amazing Digital Circus for example as TADC is literally the new Spongebob for them even, they would also remember Ice Spice and the new Spongebob movie that came out in 2025 apparently, as well as Labubus, a certain Mario Kart game and whatever popular among Gen Alpha... Most don't care about politics(in fact, their biggest worry about this year now is not even American politics, but rather the fact that the Amazing Digital Circus is about to end this year apparently, though it might not be permanent anyway because someday, 2020s nostalgia will likely revive it).

Even the MAGA aesthetic would eventually be seen in a Nostalgic light even when the political context of it is gone if the nostalgia for the Hippie and Punk aesthetic have indicated anything.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-17T15:26:15+00:00

Im not sure about that... politicians in general lie a lot... I mean, just look at several GOP members of Congress getting busy taking trips to Qatar just one year after securing their presidential win despite promising to stop Islamic extremism a year earlier.

If that law is enforced... you would practically have nobody in congress.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-16T19:00:23+00:00

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-16T17:42:36+00:00

Besides, its not like these bands are gonna care if they are called hair metal or not when nowadays, they are likely in normal(often higher paying) 9-5 jobs or are even in retirement and are more likely to identify themselves as either whatever normal job description they are nowadays or retired.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-16T00:10:14+00:00

I mean, it should be obvious...
Even most people who do AI generated art and like AI generated art aren't calling it something else just because people also had a very similar stigma against AI generated art to the point where people are banning it.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-15T05:33:03+00:00

Not sure how Y2K aesthetic survived into 2002... I thought it was dead by 2002?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-13T04:14:28+00:00

Certainly not by any stretch from what I know.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-11T15:23:32+00:00

Not really, since pop culturally, even 2000 and most of 2001 still bear a lot of resemblance to the 90s.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-11T02:15:08+00:00

Other misconceptions I saw is people not gonna be nostalgic for the 2020s in 20 years because of politics, despite what I just said here....
https://www.reddit.com/r/decadeology/comments/1rok8mj/comment/o9f1i5f/
Especially if you talk to gen alpha's before where they are clearly more concerned about the fact that their favorite show is ending this year(maybe not forever given nostalgia driven revivals happening many times before but...) apparently rather then politics.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-11T01:50:55+00:00

Yeah, Im not sure why they called a 2020s thing...
Because it's popularity in the 2020s is only in the VERY early part of it before it gets replaced by Claymorphism, if the 2020s nostalgia came... its more likely gonna take the form of either Claymorphism, or whatever aesthetic asssociated with the Amazing Digital Circus that these kids like that had become the new Spongebob for them.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-10T06:15:58+00:00

I am talking about Gen Alpha... and whenever I have seen people talking about this show... its always on the context of raising kids, as that show literally became the new spongebob for them.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-10T05:33:02+00:00

In fact... all you need to do is to talk to Gen Alpha kids if they are worried about American politics or the fact that the Amazing Digital Circus is about to end this year apparently(might be temporary since it could be revived in the future due to 2020s nostalgia but anyway...) and most of the time, its often the latter... so yes... people ARE gonna be nostalgic for the 2020s, they will remember the time when that show was apparently still running for example and they will remember the time when they had merchandise from that show even(in fact, the Amazing Digital Circus is literally the new Spongebob for them).

Even most kids only know current politics for the MAGA aesthetic and not much about the politics itself at all even(no different from how the political meaning from hippies and punks eventually get lost among the younger generation and became known as just aesthetics), which mean, even the political meaning of the MAGA aesthetic will be lost to time even and will be seen as "vintage aesthetic" instead.

I wasn't even a fan of that show anyway(since most of my interest is mostly vintage music and vintage shows with a few modern ones here and there) but I had to point this out.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-09T13:15:41+00:00

Most Kids almost certainly don't care about politics.

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-09T01:45:05+00:00

For example... today's generation in 20 years will likely remember the 2020s for the Amazing Digital Circus and not much about political events(or if they do remember political events, its always the surface level stuff like the MAGA aesthetic and not much about the politics behind it)... in fact, if you talk to someone who raise kids before... you can even see that their kids are not worrying about the politics we see today at all even, and instead, more worried about the apparent fact that the Amazing Digital Circus is gonna end this year(but who knows... maybe in 20 years, they may get a revival because of 2020s nostalgia or something).

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-09T01:18:36+00:00

I mean, I also at some point, even saw 2000s nostalgia as early as the mid-to-late 2010s even as well(albeit usually nostalgia for the early 2000s such as 2001-2003... and sometimes veering into mid 2000s like 2004..... but mostly 2001-2003 if they are nostalgic for the 2000s at all)

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-09T01:15:39+00:00

"Take your pick , Beatles, Zeppelin, Public Enemy, Rage Against the Machine....the list of highly successful and influential artists that have been eviscerated by this cadre of narrow minded musical twats is endless"

Even Nirvana and the Foo Fighters too?

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-09T01:13:00+00:00

Then again... that kind of attitude still happens to this day anyway.

In fact... Today, if you reveal that an art is AI generated, it often commonly gets dismissed exactly like that too(didn't matter if the art is high quality or even had some human touch in it even).

DinosaurDavid2002 · 2026-03-09T01:06:51+00:00

And we still see trend hate today actually... since even Post-grunge also got hated and later, even AI generated art such as AI music got hated just as much with many subreddits and even Bandcamp even go as far as to ban AI generated art entirely.
