Comparison Video of the 80s and Today Highlights Drastic Change in Colors
Culture never springs from a vacuum. Each generation takes something from its predecessor, reshapes it, and presents it anew. Even though the shoulder pads, neon colors, and big hair of the '80s have given way to a completely different aesthetic today, there are still many people experimenting with '80s style clothing and hairdos in the present day.
A video comparing the '80s to today in terms of clothing, activities, and lifestyle garnered significant attention on social media. The transformation of colors in the video was particularly striking.

So, why have we distanced ourselves so much from colors?
Today, trends like 'Sad Girl Aesthetic' or 'Quiet Luxury' are all the rage. The chaotic, neon, and vibrant world of the 80s has given way to more professional, clean, and orderly looking 'earth tones', 'grey', and 'white'. This shift symbolizes the modern individual's desire to escape chaos and seek simplicity. While vibrant colors (red, yellow, fuchsia) represent extroversion and excitement, neutral tones (grey, beige, anthracite) embody control, efficiency, and seriousness.
In recent years, there's been a trend in cinema and social media content towards what we call 'Muted Colors'. It's believed to lend a more 'expensive' and 'cool' vibe. The exploding colors of the 80s now seem 'tiring to the eye' or 'tacky' to many designers.
