Why hasn’t black culture evolved pass the 90s

[BrothaZay]

So I’m watching menace to society and it dawned on me. This movie dead ass came out 30 years ago and is basically relatable today. The way the characters act, talc, their attitude etc is still of the black community in present day. I ask this because like I said this was 30 years ago, but 30 years prior to menace black community was vastly different. Even 15 years prior.

Example:

60s


70s


80s


You can see the 80s was definitely different than the 70s which was different than the 60s slightly

Now you got the 90s





But seriously.

Movies like Players Club, Friday, Menace that represent the 90s could basically be made today without changing anything.

Basically I’m asking why is 1963-80 vastly different from 1993. But 2023 is basically the same as 93.

It's not the same as '93 rn

If we using media as the metric...Insecure, Atlanta, Power, and anything involving Jordan Peele etc ALONE is destroying this narrative.

Sure, movies could be remade but the same can be said for plenty of "white" movies. Doesn't mean culture hasn't changed.

Ok. How is black culture different in 2023 than it was in 1993?

Why do you Think that

I think a movie like Dope is more relatable today

If it was The movie would be a classic. Instead 99% of nikkas have never seen it

Black American culture evolved more than any other in the world since the 90s

No problem.

-Views on mental health and therapy are wildly different
-financial literacy is openly encouraged
-appreciation for the diaspora is seemingly up, despite content "creators" sewing discord
-for better or worse, the music is vastly different in themes and voicing.
-going to college/being educated isn't seen as out of the ordinary
-black owned businesses are not rare, especially with the internet
-people who aren't Christians aren't pariahs like they once were
-affluent black neighborhoods aren't a myth or dream
-in America, rampant homophobia has died down. For better or worse
-black men having feelings isn't abnormal.
-we eat differently. Being healthy or vegan or on a diet isn't just some neo soul shyt. It's regular degular.

The list goes on.
