2000s: The Creative Drain

Skinny belongs to the 80sWhat did the 80s give us?

Aside from bad hairdos and synthesized music, the decade gave us skinny jeans.

Back then, these denims even had leg zippers for ultra-tight grip. And they were mostly worn by rockers. While I never wore a pair (and do not intend to), it is funny seeing 80s fashion being worn by today’s “in” generation. Even Ray-Ban wayfarers are back.

See 80s product placement here.

If you think about it, the 2000-2010 decade is a thief. The fashion is loosely based on different decades, several movie remakes, and even television shows are basing their themes from past generations.

The successful series “Glee” is actually an updated version of musical films of the 1930s and 1940s.

My 10-year-old cousin’s favorite band is Tears for Fears. While I have no idea what other 10-year-olds listen to, he says that his friends enjoy listening to the band as well.

And if you look at basketball, the NBA’s current champion (Los Angeles Lakers) is led by Kobe Bryant—who plays and talks a lot like number 23.

So, what did the 2000-2010 decade give us?

Well, aside from Hayden Kho scandals.
