Inspired by another post on here I saw a few weeks ago. I find making these future prediction posts fun so I wanted to make yet another rendition of what I think the 2030s could look like.

Early 2030s (2030-2033)

• Electronic dominated music with rock influences. I don’t think traditional rock will “return” per say, but bits and pieces of the sound will resurface

• AI music and movies. While i don’t think AI will be advanced enough to create full blown blockbusters on its own, it’ll probably be incorporated into the creation process (almost like SFX or autotune)

• Basically 2020s fashion but with greater late 2000s influences. Right now fashion is trending heavily towards late 90s/early 2000s nostalgia, so i’m willing to bet by the end of the decade side parts, chunky jewelry, and other mid-late 2000s trends will resurface thanks to 2000s nostalgia being basically omni-present by that point

• Socially & politically speaking (in the western world at least), i could see this being a period of “disillusionment”. Most ppl will probably be fatigued from the hyper-polarized pseudo politics of the 2020s, resulting in them leaning centrist or moderate on most things. If i had to guess, i’d say the early 2030s will have a very “chill out dude” librarian/thrift store/small town type of vibe to them

Core 2030s (2034-2036)

• Self-driving cars & early stages of robo-delivery services

• “Indie” revival. While i don’t think hipsters will straight up return, i feel like the fashion/music/attitude of hipsters will be revised and repackaged with a new twist. Similar to how there were 60s/70s influences in the 90s or how there’s currently 90s/00s influences in the 2020s

• Breakthroughs in AI & AR tech, early stages of digitized currency

• Streaming giants put all of their services onto one platform (basically just creating cable but with extra steps)

• Rejection of the “2020s” juggernaut and an emphasis on new, diy, and “grassroots” things. For example, music might become more upbeat and “now” focused (maybe a reggae or punk like sound), fashion could subtlety transition from baggy to form fitting/flowy, and anti-tech sentiment could form with ppl rejecting influencer culture (and feeling even more nostalgic for old internet/tech)

• Socially i think this part of the decade will have a sort of cautiously optimistic vibe — almost like a 90s psa video. Anything considered “too extreme” will probably be dismissed/ignored/rejected. Politically, i think there will be a greater focus on climate change, affordability, and “earnest” politicians who’re focused on “making things right”

Late 2030s (2037-2039)

• In the late 2030s i think fashion will pivot towards a theatrical look (think Hunger Games capitol). Bold colors, lots of patterns/shapes, maybe some maximalism thrown in. I’m also predicting there will be a “mashing” of different cultural styles (ex: blending American casual wear with clothes inspired by traditional pieces like Kimonos or Dhoti pants)

• First manned mission(s) to the moon in decades

• Flexible smart phones that can also be worn as bracelets

• Personalized AI capable of generating entertainment (music, movies, games, novels, etc) based on personal preference

• Musically a fusion/evolution of the electronic dominated early 2030s and punkish sound of the mid 2030s. Very ska-like fast-paced sound mixed with psychedelic & electronic elements

• Sociopolitically, i predict there will be a big societal change that’ll result in a shift away from the centrism of the earlier ‘30s. I could imagine Gen Alpha/Beta becoming more & more “outspoken” as they come of age and begin to rebel against their “subdued” Millennial/Gen Z parents. Additionally, Silent Gen/Boomers will begin to age out of politics so there will be lots of shifts in laws/policymaking happening around this time

I know that the core 2010s weren't a utopia, but the fact that the core 2020s is basically a cyber-fascist dystopia makes the core 2010s look infinitely better in comparison.

I was thinking abt this earlier but I have no idea where to post it.

2010s was such a good decade with amazing events, these are the best events of the 2010s.

1. Trump being elected in 2016.
2. Sandy hooks School shooting
3. 2011 tsunami earthquake
4. Boston marathon bombing
5. Island vista shooting by the Supreme gentleman
6. Aurora Colorado shooting
7. Gamergate/SJWs.
8. Elsagate
9. Parkland school shooting
10. Common Core

Anyways, Thumbs up this post for epic earthquake 😎 🫡 🖖🤙 🤡
