Why don't we build any more googie shit? I liked it.

Maybe with so many hipsters we might see a revival of retrofuturism, but it's not the same if it's ironic :(

I want buildings like a UFO

I'd love to see a return to Googie, even mid-century modern would be nice

Because another decade did it. There's a word for that now. It's called "dated". What this word means is that if another decade does something, we're never allowed to do it again.

Sounds stupid right?

It gets worse. Most of today's public is brainwashed so when they encounter something "dated" their instant reaction is to destroy it and replace with something "fresh" and "modern" (meaningless buzzwords) even if the replacement is inferior. "Who cares if that library is earthquake-proof, beautifully decorated and brilliantly laid out? Gut it/tear it down, it's so '80s!"
