Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 3029861" data-attributes="member: 63">Fashion this generation is about eclectic styles and casual sexiness. Pop culture is defined by the erosion of distance caused by the internet and other global communication. People have more freedom to seek out things they like with ease, so there is less drive to make things with mass appeal, perhaps. We seem to be all about where we've been, since we don't know where we're going. Fashion reflects the past, and there's nothing new under the sun (or at least not in Hollywood). If you recall a commercial from the early 2000s, Captain Sisko from DS9 exclaimed "I was PROMISED flying cars! WHERE are my flying cars?!"We've reached the future. We don't know where to go from here, so we look to the past, to other cultures, and are churning the melting pot again. Too many artists seem to be stuck trying to recapture the past, but the really successful stories and musical works are the innovative ones that actually address our confusion with the modern day.LOST, Rescue Me, Desperate Housewives, and many other shows revolve around restless and confused characters who can't seem to get out of their predicaments. Monk is about an insane man who will never get better. Venture Bros. is all about riffing on cartoon classics, while Chapelle Show genuinely tried to make us look at our beliefs and assumptions.Maybe we should look at the most popular TV shows and see how they differ, or the sitcoms. We don't have Seinfeld anymore. What's 2006's Seinfeld, and what does it say about us?</blockquote>
