Why is everything boring? (hint: it's not Capitalism)

There's lots of videos about how capitalism has brought about the downfall of style. That everything has gone from creativity, quality, and color to bland, boring, and beige. Simply because it's cheaper. But, that's not the whole story. It's not just the lack of choice that's keeping us down, it's the myth that somehow it's all "luxury". The story of how Art Deco went from one of the most exuberant styles to one of the flattest can show us how the idea of wealth makes us all suffer. When luxury is just beige, that's all we get.
