Gosh, I miss how organized and rich the Old World culture was. Today's culture, is broad and spiritually hollow by comparison.
yes... great if you were rich
In the modern era everyone is rich to their standards.

#22Just what % of the population actually wore those clothes back then? Are we comparing ourselves to what the 1% or 0.1% wore?
Who said anything about comparing? But now that we're at it, would you prefer to compare yourself to the bottom 1%?
Yes. The bottom 1%’s clothing will always be more indicative of the average clothes of the time than the top 1%’s.

So what? TFA is not about the working class nor does it need to be. Why this fixation on comparing yourselves with the poor?

#24Everything cyclical. I for one miss the loose fitting jeans of the late 90s/early oughts, which were largely replaced by skinny jeans.
Now I'm older and don't care about fashion, so just wear carpenter jeans. But it seems like skinny pants are still in style, apparently in sweatpants form?

You are in luck; skinny jeans are once again out of style and straight or flared legs are back in.

Because otherwise it's like commenting on a tabloid article about what Lizzo wore to some gala last week, which would be out of place no?
