Your film sounds...Hi Connor, thanks for commenting. Your film sounds really interesting. I've noticed that young people are having 1990s nostalgia as well. And I'd agree that it's a way of "coping with an unsatisfactory present" because in retrospect, the '90s were great for the USA: we weren't fighting in any wars, and the economy was booming. Also, I feel like young people are realizing that a lot of really cool things came out in the '90s, but we were too young to appreciate them at the time.

It seems very evident that this nostalgia (something that was once to be an illness by immigrants in the early 20th century) is sort of just becoming something that is fashionable; for example, instagram, takes something that could be flawless, a digital photo, and just filters it, muds it up, in order to make it look "cool" and vintage. It's like we don't want things to be perfect or imperfect anymore so nostalgia is just becoming a way to cope with that. I've also noticed that young people in their early twenties have become obsessed with 90's pop culture in a fit of nostalgia. It's not necessarily a wholly negative thing (unless it is crippling your life, haha) but it just seems like a way of coping with an unsatisfactory present. I'm actually writing a short film right now based around some of these thoughts.Connor Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02403772607874360671noreply@blogger.com
