 Been listening to people in their 20s and 30s complain about how "cars aren't colorful anymore" and "apartments are colorful enough" and "Every style is so dull." also "I hate minimalism time for maximalism"

And most I've been rolling my eyes. But then I thought about ski wear... and...

My god the children are right!

What happened????

The trendiest ski wear is mostly about exotic materials and looking like the world's most boring snowboarder even though you are skiing not snowboarding.

 Why are the things so drab? I don’t think its actually more environmental, its still plastic. I noticed some cars don’t come in color (like, say, red) any more either.
Seems like it doesn’t help anythting to be drab.
