Opinions on The Roaring 20s coming back
I think the end of the roaring 20s is coming back- due to the world economy being in recession- in fact I saved an article the other day on fb about how Australiaās economy is in dire straits and looking at a collapse I think- Iāll have to find it and actually give it a read lol. and I mean the return of the roaring 20s, both half seriously and half with the meme in a joke kind of way.
globally it seems like weāre almost always teetering on the verge of a world war, mostly because of the way Americaās orange shit gibbon carries on with his godawful approach to politics.... and Australias prime minister isnāt any better tbh, though at least heās not opting out of the Paris climate agreement and at least his whole cabinet doesnāt hate him, i think.
here in my state of Australia, New South Wales, the Premier Gladys Berejikilian (yes I share her name- but DEFINITELY NOT HER VIEWS- as sheās liberal (right wing and science denying)) has lifted the lockout laws on most of Sydneyās dead night life scene- so bars, pubs and clubs can stay open past 1am and serve drinks past then I think... (I think thatās how the lock out laws worked Iāll have to read up on it again)....
but when it comes to music festivals and pill testing Gladys would rather have them all shut down in a sense, because sheād rather deny expert opinions on pill testing- due to a number of deaths of young people at various music festivals who took dodgy drug pills at various MFs over the last few years. instead sheād rather pander to youngins from 18-25 (my age bracket really) with āJUST DONāT DO DRUGS, KIDS! BE SAFE AND DONāT TRUST STRANGERS THAT MIGHT SELL YOU DODGY PILLS!ā or thatās the gist of her pandering, at least. itās all in the article linked above.
so although night clubs etc are open again and slowly regaining business, some music festivals have been forced to cancel due to other things, like: exorbitant fees around licensing of venues and drinking, exorbitant fees for an increased amount of police and sniffer dogs at these events etc etc.... so that the kids arenāt supposed to have fun. just stay home is the message there I suppose lmao. music festivals might end up being like the 2020s speakeasies under Gladys and her bullshit pandering lmao. hell, just last month some of Australiaās largest music festivals threatened to leave nsw all because of the nsw governments bs with music festivals (not that these ones matter to me though, considering that theyāre super overpriced and overrated but still), but everyone deserves to have fun at a music festival.
anyway enough on that. I think the rise of makeup culture and the rise of instagram/YouTube etc personalities and influencers could be likened to the rise of consumer products or whatever in the original roaring 20s lmao. but this time is more insidious, due to the fact that many of these products are now being aimed at kids instead of adults. then we have the re-emergence of emo bands like MCR coming out the woodwork to begin the ārawring 20s XDā which means all the mid2000s emo kids are coming back to spend money on tix for those bandās reunion shows and to be like āhey look im emo again!ā or maybe thatās just me lmao š
but yeah generally the rise of all the instagram bs with people joining mlm schemes and stuff and becoming āinfluencersā shows that weāre in decline for jobs and stuff, and that the economies in many western countries are in dire straits, and are likely heading for crashes. okay now idk where Iām going with this, and Iāll shut up. but yeah the roaring 20s is coming back and pls get your flapper costumes etc out š.
and is this the answer you wanted?? or did you want a joke/meme??? š
