You Say You Want a Devolution?

[alice wellintown]

For most of the last century, America’s cultural landscape—its
fashion, art, music, design, entertainment—changed dramatically every
20 years or so. But these days, even as technological and scientific
leaps have continued to revolutionize life, popular style has been
stuck on repeat, consuming the past instead of creating the new.
