“yet somewhere around the late 80’s to early 90’s our world became woke”
You’ve noticed something that has to be the strangest thing. If you think about it music, art, fashion, etc. are frozen in time.
In the past each decade had its own fashion—think how different the 1920’s were from say the 1950’s. Both were enjoyable but different from each other.
Now in the late 1980’s or 1990’s it was fashionable to let your pants fall down, listen to rap music, wear leggings without a dress, etc. Nothing has changed in 30 years.
It’s like society got stuck in amber.
Because we've always had degenerates and they tend to not progress. When society moves to the lowest common denominator, it doesn't get better because there is no creativity at that level, which is why it's the lowest level.
