Is it a sign of age that it doesn’t look that dated to me?

Is it a sign of age that it doesn’t look that dated to me?
- ghaff 9y agoAs others have said, the main thing is the lack of smartphones. The date is late enough that you're past obviously 80s hair styles etc. I'm guessing people are dressier than if you shot equivalent scenes today but it's Manhattan so people maybe being a bit more dressed up doesn't jump out at you.
- nailer 9y agoWomen's hair is getting shorter and straighter in this 1993 video, but there's still a lot of 80s big volume going on - it's an interesting mix between 80s dynasty and 90s flat part.
- kemiller 9y agoI guess what I mean is that the presence of smartphones still stands out for me, and the absence looks normal.
- jaysonelliot 9y agoI'd say it's a sign of the quality of the video. Much of the reason we think the past seems so far away is that the media it was recorded on was either not so good to begin with, or has deteriorated over time.
- nailer 9y agoOne of the odder experiences in the last week has been seeing an early 90s style dance video at 60FPS in HD. If you remember the early 90s, particularly In Living Color, check out https://youtu.be/LsoLEjrDogU https://youtu.be/LsoLEjrDogU
