Fun video! Last-year Boomer (1964) here that painted all that funky furniture in the late 90's...I miss the old days of color, but would like to add to your analysis that neutrals are calming. We live in a world that is not calm now; everyone is on complete overload with information and consumer products, violence in the news, etc. Neutrals in our exterior spaces help calm down our interior psyches of frazzled nerves. (I also like that neutrals de-gender toys, so sick of bright pink "girl" toys I could scream.) And I totally agree, these sad beige babies will be some of the greatest maximalists the world has ever seen...can't wait to see what they do!!

I don't understand why your videos don't have more views, they're entertaining and clever

You killed me with “Tragadaeigh”😂

what a kind and nuanced examination! i dont mind minimalism but the beige being the color of choice is whats ugly to my personal tastes (rainbow loving milliannial here!). funny thing about the urge to declutter: marie kondo actually had a nervous breakdown as a child bc she had the same urge. then she had an epiphany ("from the god of cleaning") that it wasnt about getting rid of things: it was about deciding what to Keep. i feel like its easy to misunderstand her philosophy as being in an empty house but its really about just keeping the things you want to have in the future and being able to let things go. that said her approach might not be for everyone! but her methods rly helped me, maximalist, keep my space under control so i had room for all my colorful clothes and bright knickknacks and enormous stationary collection. also her folding methods are bomb i can stay on top of laundry :D

I’m a millennial and late millennial one year out of gen z and I want a mix of neutral and colour 😌

Amazing! Love the way this video was done! So fun!!

Great video as always! Love your channel

great video! love the nuanced view on the sad beige asthetic :D what really rubs me the wrong way, too, is how with all these uniform asthetics, we are also sold the idea of "timelessness". people are made to think that once they turn their whole living and being white/gray/beige they will finally have peace, and it will always look good. that this is just another trend that we will be sick of in a finite timeframe is getting swept under the fuzzy rugs! especially, as you said, visible in the change of generations.

I like the 90’s house and decor 😊 I will love to decorate one day my house like the good old days or classic, it’s cosy 💕 Stop the beige and white and gray, you are not in jail ! I like how you break it down, it seems like “ who to make your home expensive “ I like some said, &it did help me to be more free .. Don’t try to be cool, Be you .

Beige is not calming, it's boring. As a millennial, I find calm in greens, light blue, and more recently Sakura pink. People think muted colors makes people calm no, it makes people depressed. I always believe in color psychology (as a psychology graduate). The more I see colors, the more it helps my mood. But I prefer wide leg pants and it's not a Gen Z thing because wide leg pants happened during late 90s-early 2000s and I have them.

Gen X always gets forgotten. They are the true rebels against the boomer world We live in. They have much in common with The Zoomers.

I live alone as woman and have no kids. I am to old for that now anyway. (51) I love my livingroom in brown, blue and grey. I get a headache by the thought alone to have ten different colors in a room, like red, green, purple and so on. When you have that: fine, have fun. But let me enjoy my livingroom with less (screaming) colors.

Missed opportunity to look into history. Before vibrant colorful dyes were available. Kids did fine without bright colors. -also the angle that only wealthy people could have vibrant colors for a time. Opposite of today.

As a millennial myself I can confirm that we are no longer the vilified generation that is now Gen-Z

😂

Agree with everything you stated in this eloquent video. HOWEVER, I see your books facing the wrong way. It is not smart, not practical nor pleasing to the eye. The book cover has two jobs, to let the reader know its content and to protect its pages. It looks, for the lack of better word, stupid as the beige nurseries and toys.

“Theresa got me a new pair of pants”😂 Well done🫡Well. Done. As a Gen Xer, I’m so glad to almost never be a part of these ridiculous generation wars. Everyone does dumb stuff. Millennials just got called out for it because they grew up publicly showing the world all their questionable choices on the internet since they were teens. I thank god social media wasn’t a thing when I was a teen. Oh the cringe I’d have surely suffered. As an adult I still heavily edit myself because I’m weird as hell and forget to turn on my filter irl.
