Subject: the 2050s

Written By: StrangeShape on 05/15/19 at 12:59 pm

What are your predictions for pop culture and in general for that decade?

I predict there will be strong 2030s nostalgia in the mid 2050s (altrough we have no idea how it will be logically), people born int the 2030s will start to make an impact in society, people born in the 90s will start to get in middle age, making Gen Z the new Gen X by then.

Movies like Frozen, Avengers: Endagme, Brave, Zootopia and the like will be remembered like great classics of the 2010s.
Long running franchises like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest or Star Wars will continue to get new entries.
Self-driving cars will likely be the norm by them, but there will still be old fashined people prefering manual driving, 7G will probably be the norm in phones, IPhone XXX might be a thing  ;D.
Amazon Drones will probably be a thing in the 2050s, even if only rich people can use it, i expect a lot of shoping mall bankrupting and amazon taking the lead in the following years.
Despacito will probably get a lot of atention, probably will end up one of the most iconic songs of the 2010s along with Gangnam Style and Diamonds.

More robotics in our everyday lives. At the market, in schools, pretty much everywhere.

People born in the 90s will be well into middle age by 2050. I’ll be 55!

NO NO NO!!!!

We're heading into 2020 right now. 1 generation from 1990. We should only be thinking about 2020 right now.

I don't want to start thinking about 2050, or 1 generation from 2020 (2 generations from 1990) right now  8-P

Wait...isn't that 6 generations from 1990 to 2050? I have this silly theory in mind that every decade represents a generation. Which is true.(I think). So maybe we are actually 2 generations from 1990 right now because it's been 2 decades. My theory could be wrong though. Bla bla bla. ;D

I'm not talking about generations of people (like Boomer, X, Y, or Z), I'm talking about generations in society. A generation in society is 30 years.

A generation is "all of the people born and living at about the same time, regarded collectively". It can also be described as, "the average period, generally considered to be about thirty years, during which children are born and grow up, become adults, and begin to have children of their own". In kinship terminology, it is a structural term designating the parent-child relationship. It is also known as biogenesis, reproduction, or procreation in the biological sciences.

In the 2050s, us 90s babies will be grandparents. I could have a kid in 2023 and have a grandchild by 2050 ;D

in the mid 2050s i will be 55-56 so we'll be on the grandparent/gen x range, it's really weird to think about that some time this will happen and we will be in our 50s.  :D

I dont think i will have kids myself, but if you become parent in 2023 let us know if you're a grandparent in 2050 haha xD

In 2050, 2019 would be as retro as 1988 is now which is still a while to go!
