Gen Z is experiencing a phenomenon called anemoia, a nostalgia for times they haven't lived through, with a particular focus on the early 1900s. This trend is driven by a desire for control, texture, and slowness, qualities they feel are lacking in the current era of wealth inequality and technological disruption. This imagined past, romanticized through aesthetics like #OldMoney and shows such as Bridgerton and The Gilded Age, mirrors the societal chaos of its own time, offering an escape for a generation grappling with similar modern challenges.
