Thoughts on pop culture
#3
Connor's explanation was incredibly smart. At running the risk of posting next and sounding like am imbecile in comparison, here's my two cents.

Since the CCD is the mega powerhouse of entrepreneurship and cut-throat, capitalism business most of the major technological advances are likely produced by CCD corporations. The boom in technology is going to be dependent on science and math and all those sorts of subjects young folk should be learning these days. Therefore, popular culture, in my opinion will be radically futuristic.

The CCD will push the boundaries forward in theater, cinema, art and fashion by the 2040's that to us today, probably seems ridiculously cliche. But I picture an over the top futuristic, sci-fi, high-tech everything. When its part of your daily lives, such as your Wallet is more powerful than today's supercomputers, then impressing the general population with fantastic leaps forward requires one great jump at a time.

Jaxen loves this shit, but he also likes to do everything contrary to the mainstream expectation, therefore he is part of the subculture of extremely retro sorts of concepts (by retro I mean medieval). For instance, in this thread he wears high-fashion clothing designed to resemble a medieval coat of arms, so in essence, he's embracing antiquity in a futuristic way.

As far as music and movies go, I'd picture something similar. There are likely these weird throwbacks to extremes of history, greek, roman, medieval etc but done so in a sharply futuristic environment or experience. Virtual reality, or something.
"So?" said Loki impatiently.  "This isn't the first time the world has come to an end, and it won't be the last either."
