> the saccharine optimism of the last decade
You and I must've hung out in completely different circles, including online :D
But yeah the media is like this because once some "trend" gets oversaturated, someone starts another one (or more likely, revives an old one) and soon everyone jumps on that ship. Actually, it applies to most things. Personally I can't wait for flat design to die out.
- MrLeap 6y agoProbably so! Just HN/Youtube as far as my media consumption goes for the last while. HN has tended very much towards the optimistic entrepreneurial advice end of the spectrum for a decade, for understandable reasons. My youtube channels are nearly devoid of the shrill screech of contemporary political discourse. It leaks in occasionally, like witnessing an occluded star by gravitational lensing. I don't know how people stand the unoccluded version. I've been doing my part to help kill flat design by pitching depth and shadows every chance I get. I'm nearly in the stockades. :D Also, down with the cult of monochrome!
