Let's talk about cultural eras, trends and such.

One of the differences between the 20s and past eras culturally I feel is the shift from Asian fetishism to African fetishism. The most obvious example is western cartoons. I remember watching western cartoons from the 00s and most of them were either about Asians or with Asian themes - Samurai Jack, Jackie Chan Adventures, Avatar, and so on. Also anime became accepted in the 00s and 10s.

To what degree does the actual media recording technology change anymore? Like there are filters people associate with 80s/90s, like I guess stuff reminiscent of handheld camcorders? Is there still potential for something like that to change today?


"We're also stuck with blurry, juddery, slow-panning 24fps movies forever because (thanks to 60fps home video) people associate high framerates with camcorders and cheap sitcoms, and thus think good framerates look fake."

"The title texts explains another disagreement brought about from the different ways video can be filmed. Often referred to as the Soap Opera Effect, it is the feeling that a viewer gets when watching a film or video with a higher frame rate such as a home films, older sitcoms, or (as the name suggests,) soap operas. The disparity comes from the fact that many small-time productions record with cameras running at 60 frames per second, while big-time productions either record directly on film or set their digital cameras to record at the same 24 frames per second as film. Visual problems such as blur, judder, and slow pans are mostly absent in high-frame rate productions, however, because of the lower budgets of small-time productions, high frame rates are thus associated with a feeling of lower quality. Major films such as The Hobbit and Avatar 2 have attempted to break the norm by shooting with higher frame rates."

Do smartphones ignore the customary fps throttling? I remember sam hyde mocking gopro for doing something whenever he moved it quickly, I think motion blur? That overlaps with the "visual problems absent" part of the sampled paragraph, even if they aren't throttling framerate to achieve the effect.
