Cultural change can be hard to see without the passage of a good deal of time, but it's pretty clear to me that the style repersented in 1980s TV shows being rerun on cable these days is pretty different than today - vastly different in some areas in respect to clothing, slang language, even some car and home designs. I don't recall noticing big changes in the cultural landscape as the 1960s turned into the '70s, but years later, it was all too obvious. I think the same thing will happen a few years down the line,as people look back at the trends and styles from the 1990s and double-ought years and think, "How quaint!"
