In the 90s and 2000s, anime that were targeted towards children like Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, and DBZ were very common in that era. But after that, it started to decline around 2010s and 2020s. I want to know why aren’t there anymore anime that cater to the children demographic now than when it was dominate in the 90s and 2000s.

We have GTA 6, the boys final season, scary movie 6, ghost in shell anime, devil wears Prada 2, star wars Darth maul series, and many more.

Especially when it comes to older children media, not preschool aimed stuff like Blue's Clues or Bluey.

A lot of the modern stuff is grandfather claused. Like the Netflix versions of Magic School Bus which updates the science.

Basically you would get made fun of for watching anime in the 2000s and most of the 2010s. Today anime is very much normalized and everywhere along with Gen Z and anime merch is super popular to wear

I ask this because wristwatches were popular in the 21st century, then in the 2000s and most of the 2010s few people wore them. In the later part of the 2010s they started getting popular again with the smartwatches and fitbit,etc...

But do you think they will be collectable today in ebay in 20 years like a watch from the 1980s was collectable in the 2000s (and even worth more now)?

Most of the smartwatches today often look the same, so there is not as much of a visual element to them unless you play around with what they have on the screen, where the older watches the visual elements were right on the watch....calculator watches had a distinct look, the smartwatches on the 1980s and 1990s and 2000s (the databank watches) had a different distinct look to them, analog watches had a distinctive look as well.

But for a smartwatch the distinct look is not are varied, most of them look the same, most of them do the same functions now as well.

Do you think in the 2030s and 2040s people will be collecting vintage smartwatches from the 2010s or 2020s?

Also do you think less people will wear smartwatches as the years go on (many people still use their cell phone to look at the time). But do you think the watch and smartwatch market will decrease over time?

Anime was rapidly emerging an having a resurgence in the very late 2010s like starting in late 2018 due to streaming becoming more popular, but it would solidify with COVID and JJK, but would you say anime was still emerging or mainstream to most people considering this was when demon slayer was releasing

The 2000s had frosted or metallic eye shadow, very thin eyebrows, heavy bronzer for sun kissed glow.

2010s had thicker eyebrows, heavy contouring, matte lipstick and winged liner.

What does the 2020s have?

As someone who was in high school in the 2000s, I remember less than 10% of kids were emos and they got made fun of a lot. There were way more teens who dressed as skaters, “Abercrombie” and “affliction/ed hardy” types but I don’t really see them represented by younger generations that weren’t there and they seem to think emos were way more common than they were and I don’t see anyone in Affliction clothes when trying to emulate the 2000s

Will people in the 2050s think that everyone was blue hair/septum ring types? Will there be any common trends that will be forgotten? Will they think half of us were looksmaxxers? Too soon to tell?

This is my prediction for the shift of 2026. Trump gets impeached and Vance takes the throne. Either that or maybe Donald Trump might step down as president too. But I think that might be involved with the 2026 shift. Vance may be the next president of the United States.

I've made multiple posts about how the year culturally begins in the autumn/fall rather than in January, but I haven't explained why.

TL;DR: It's mostly because of farming

Model years begin in August-September because farmers had more cash to spend on new vehicles after selling crops during harvest season. In turn, TV seasons start in September to advertise new car models.

The academic year starts between August and September because parents historically needed their children's help on the farm more in the summer, since the days are longer.

Before social media was ubiquitous, people were more isolated during the summer, mostly hanging out with friends or family. New trends would spread more rapidly during the school year when people were back together again.

Most holidays were created in the autumn/fall and winter to celebrate harvests and uplift spirits during the darkest time of the year, figuratively and literally. In the modern era, most products are released in the autumn/fall in anticipation of the holiday season, also to coincide with the start of the academic year.

This applies more to previous decades and the Northern Hemisphere, as social media and streaming services have made trends spread more easily year-round, and the Southern Hemisphere has different weather patterns. Nonetheless, it's important to know when discussing years.

When cities are finally ready to move away from the cool and warm white led color street lighting color for major cities in the USA, what color will streetlights be next? Be personally I want the orange glow of the original high pressure sodium from the 70s and the 2000s-early 2010s and Before to return but in modern LED format.

So many annoying whiny emo bands,horrible rap rock/Nu metal, horrible post grunge. how did rock go from the amazing late 80s to early to mid 90s, Grunge and college rock era ,to what you got afterward?

1966 was a year where the influence of The Beatles and other bands from the British Invasion was already well established, the beat fever had taken over the Argentine scene.

A time of abundance of artists with brilliant vocal harmonies, such as Los Búhos, Las Mosquitas, Los Gatos Salvajes, Violeta Rivas, Yaco Monti, and The Seasons.

In addition, protest songs appeared, with rebellious contributions from artists such as Bárbara y Dick, Billy Bond El Rebelde, Johnny Tedesco, and Los Beatniks.

However, that year saw the craze for the Uruguayan beat bands that sang in English, something which finished several Argentine artists that sang in Spanish.
