Zoomer amuses Millennials by romanticizing kitschy 2000s kitchen decor: 'Tuscan-maxxing is better than being Millennial grey backsplash-pilled'

The way that you choose to decorate your home can say a lot about you. For example, if you sleep on a mattress on the floor you could be a single man in his 20s, and if you have a Live Laugh Love decal on your wall you may be a midwestern mom. Perhaps one of the strongest indicators of how you're likely to decorate is your age. The time at which you hit the point of adulthood where you started caring about throw cushions is a pretty strong indicator of taste, as proven by a recent TikTok. 

In it, a Zoomer revealed the details of their aunt's house, which they claimed had not been updated since 2005. The people of Twitter took this as them romanticizing the dated, Tuscan aesthetic, which prompted some mixed opinions. I supposed that nostalgia can come in all shapes and forms, depending on what generation you belong to.

    dr. 4 fire @yjhuoh 04 Jul Replying to @Eric_Erins The main problem with this era of decor wasn't that it was ugly (it is) but that it was all terribly made and not functional. Recall that this was during the housing bubble. Just as many corners were cut on building as lending

    Jordan Starkweather @jackal27.5d They're so valid for this. I love that every aesthetic comes back around, even (maybe especially) the ones I hate.
