For me, the takeaway is less about why these movements are popular and more about how our perception of past events differs from our perception of current events. The experiment (to me) shows that what appears appalling and repulsive in hindsight can feel appealing, exciting and positive in the present. But, ultimately, this wasn't really an experiment. There was no hypothesis, and so any "results" or "conclusions" from this are going to be subjective. Doesn't mean it isn't interesting though! edits: bad grammar
