zeitgeist

I believe at this point i havent actually given Zeitgeist justice. i mean without fail its been mentioned every class, granted its not in the syllabus, it is essential to everything and anything ive spoken of.
zeitgeist after all is referring to the soul of an era.
i mean, its the feel the sound, the emotions and the general working of a specific time.
be it a hundred years ago or fifty minutes ago, the place you are in never really stays the same.
certain moments get you nostalgic right? well they are bringing you back to a zeigeist.
and im using it out of context, sorry.

So to properly describe zeigeist and my interpretations of it, i believe i will discuss well the seventies.
Cheesy yes but a good example.

The lecturer had a fairly amazing phrase to describe it, before the the 60's-70's it was grey,the zeitgeist was grey, and then BOOM, an explosion of colours, and when you think of those times, whether you were there or not, those are the associated colours, right?

zeitgiests and game changers of that time were bands such as the sex pistols and the greatful dead, thier album covers just describe the love hate and confusion of the time.
they had meaning.

infact for the seventies there is a perfect word that describes thier colourful and amazing curious but confusing zeitgeist.... psychedelic!

We discussed this many many times, and though i believed to completely understand it at the time, i get so confused when it comes to actually describing it,so  guess the laws of simplicity apply here.
there is a very simple way of saying doing and describing this zeitgeist, but i lack the abilitiesand decided to go in the opposite direction, ie. the long way about and in the end never actually reach my conclusion or point.

Now our main problem was when it came to describing the zeitgeist of our own post modern class, there wasnt one. in the past decade or two, cultures and minorities merged and created individuals who all tend to have similar interests and even dress alike.

you could tell a gamer or book nerd or a jock from the way they dressed, but now we all wear basically the same fashion, we have no actual individualism.
Now i like darker things, i would be a gamer, metal head, punk rocker, im an eclectic in many areas, including music, so i would be hard to define, but so would many of this generation.
And my fashion sense, would be skinny jeans and leather jackets, suitable for my genres an likes,but lets face it, every topshop and newlook have that exact look on every manikins, leaving us all very similar in appearance regardless of taste.

Todays post modern society has merged the minorities and created well....us.

A good example i like though, is the cupcake cult.
as i said i like weird things, i like dark things, and the cupcake cult would be apart of my darker idea of fashion, yet its not the same as the ones in shoes, infact its edgier.
its zombie mixed with cute and cuddly, they are mental contradictions, that question the wearers sanity.
This my only example i could think of that makes my fashion a minority. like everyone else, very little in appearance separates us.

in the end the best to describe our culture zeitgeist as a whole, was apple. we all have the technology and thats the clean cut modern look. apple is our zeitgeist, i dont know if i should be worried or not.
