Oh man, the following few generations are going to be so wild. My pierced and tattooed self can’t wait to hit up the nursing homes when I’m in my 80s; assuming I make it that far. 😏

Even regular people would borrow suits for photographs, or have one set for special occasions.

2016's 30 year old was born in 1986. Pop up 24 years a generation and their grandparents are this:

Everyone was so slim. I'd have a go.

The 70,'s and 80's fashion was cool. The hair was a bit, unusual, but whatever.

DAE pleb at fancy dress party with limited money not as refined as literal king dressed up to take photos?

Is that the Czar? I think that is the Czar...

[-] nicky7@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Czar Nikolai II, last reigning Emperor of Russia, killed by firing squad along with his family. The bodies were driven to nearby woodland, searched and burned. The remains were soaked in acid and finally thrown down a disused mineshaft.

Ahh yes the time traveler illusion. Vsauce did a great video on this. Often the styles we wear tell our age more than we realize. An old looking photograph looks old because the subject wears what old people tend to wear. (Among other factors.)

Our generation is just the pink spandex generation I guess?

Is that Will Poulter's granddad?
