Also cars. Next time you look at traffic, try to see the amount of white, gray or black cars. It must be at least 80%.

I have a nice blue volvo and it's beautiful because it has a fucking color. :)

To dive deeper into the question why everything looks the same and is boring I recommend the videos of Design Theory. Many of these videos are very insightful.

Some time ago I watched a video that also did try to explain thy question of How Did The World Get So Ugly?

Pre War is not good enough for such luxury. What you need is:

antebellum

"Wow, this vinyl flooring. SO Antebellum!"

Millennial here, I remember hunting for apartments and the staff of one place proudly said let me show you the upgraded unit. I went in and couldn't hide how I much I disliked the greyscale upgrade. They were then like well we have one unit that hasn't been upgraded. Showed me that unit and I was like "oh wow this is way better". At that point they were super angry as if they upgraded their home the same way and I just said they had the ugliest home.

I live in a 100 year old building and would kill for those appliances

No heart. No soul. Appliances built to fail.

It already has a name

It’s just missing the thinnest granite countertops you’ve ever seen.

When we sold our house in the city 4 years ago, the realtor suggested we paint over our accent wall, and have all the walls in the house painted "reliable gray." Apparently that's the color that sells houses to white people.

Fuck me that's literally the exact vinyl plank flooring in my apartment right now

Huge upgrade over the carpet I had originally though... Fuck carpet

Pre-war?

This country has been in a constant state of war since I was 14, I'm 38 now. We were out of war for like what? 6 months to a year before we started this clusterfuck?

Even RVs and campers are like this, its cancer. Mine was built in the early 90s and has such a awesome vibe.

I am eager for faux wood vinyl planks to go out.

I don't mind vinyl, but just find the attempt to imitate wood makes it feel obviously like cheaping out.

This was the answer to all beige/"off white" of the preceding decades.

When you sell a house, it needs to be as generic as possible, to appeal to as many people as possible. The staging furniture is suppose to take up the style slack. Except we made all the furniture gray, too. And, cars, for some reason.

Fucking gray cars, WTH?

Gray is the color you get when you mix all colors together. It's literally the average of all colors. The least interesting, exact center of blandness. It's the definition of "normal". But, it also doesn't distract from your phone. So, that's a plus... for people trying to sell you crap.

and unlike art deco - this kind of luxury is dirt cheap.
