You’re right, the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s all had distinct styles. That started fading in the 90s, and unless you look closely, the nearly three decades since are all very similar.

I think we can rightly blame capitalism for homogenizing our culture, and spreading it around the world. And, even if we can’t, I still will, and also fuck Mark Zuckerberg just because I haven’t said it yet today.

The 90s had a very distinct style just like the other decades you mentioned - grunge. Then going into 2000s it was crap pink

It’s the death of channels like MTV and the emergence of the internet that specific subcultures are not defining the decades anymore. Subcultures still exist they just aren’t shown on mass media anymore since people live in their own bubble on the internet.

And if you think about it the reason why certain styles defined the decades of post war 20th century was capitalism. Certain sub cultures reached mainstream status because marketeers pushed it to the masses to make money.
