> I could never guess if someone looked like 2015 or 2025 It's the length of the socks

How long are socks supposed to be now?

Apparently Gen Z prefer crew socks as opposed to millennial ankle socks.

Holy, I was off by 7 years and 427km on my first guess and I don't want to play anymore because I've surely peaked

I just got one that was off by 2 years and 24.2 meters , but it was kinda cheaty because it showed Barbara Bush on the South lawn of the White House.

lol nicely done

I only immigrated to the US in my adult life and I can't say I recognize Barbara Bush at a glance, so I was _also_ off by a few years and a few km on that one :( but still a lot of fun!

One interesting observation is how much less variation there has been in clothes for the past 20 years or so. Someone from 2005 could look completely undisguisable from someone today, by just wearing regular non-fashion forward 2005 clothes. Same goes for haircuts. Same can't really said about someone from 1955 and 1975, 1980 - 2000, etc. edit: Score 4695 Avg. Years Off 3.0

It's called "stuck culture". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyi-KGwuR9c

> It's all been done before Until something new is done ;) The sound pallette is just about infinite with what's possible.s. I think modern music has become homogenous because true art is risky and won't pass a modern focus group.

I keep waiting for inside-out clothes to be a thing. Hipsters were getting close at one point.

back around 2002 I had some T shirts from the Gap (so, pretty mainstream) that had the visible stitching and tags look like the shirt was inside out; sort of a duplicate in that if you actually wore them inside out they still looked inside out. the only way to really tell was the little washing instructions tag on the inside.

i really liked them, was sad when they went away
