im sure much more eloquent people than me have already said this, but i honestly LOVE when a piece of media feels dated lol! i loving watching something and hearing all the references and specific language details that make me go 'ahh this was made in the 70s!' lol and like yes that also includes all the unfavourable things! i see so many people being like 'this thing aged like MILK' or 'this thing aged so poorly ooof' as if that's not the entire point???
art ISN'T timeless, it's very significantly a part of the time and place it was created in and i for one think that's honestly kinda wonderful lol...
#personal#'xyz thing is very of it's time' uh yeah i sure hope it is lol ???#btw this isnt me excusing older stuff for having racism/homophobia/transphobia/sexism/etcetc#but rather saying that something containing hallmarks of being from the past should be seen as a PART of what makes the thing beloved#and not like... in spite of those things?#idk if im explaining myself well pfft
