When did smiling come in style

[ADK]

If you look back at old pictures, paintings, or even at money, none of them old people ever smiled.

I'm thinking smiling didn't come in style until the early 70s possibly.

Smiling used to be "gay" in the 90s

I think people didn't really smile in paintings because you would have to sit there for so long. Same with early photographs



Edit: you're being funny
