THE GAY ’90S MIL

"No, not the "gay" you were thkg of, nor The '90s you were thkg of, for that matter. It was where what we now regnize as " nostalgia" was born, and The Gay Neti beme a popular settg for films of the 1930s, the 1940s and, to a lser gree, the 1950s and 1960s, by which time was seen as that nocent age before World Wars and atomic bombs. In fact, the "everybody's rich" stereotype stems om a nflatn of this perd wh "The Gild Age" (1876-1896), as the Gay Neti were also marked by enomic prsn and much labor agatn (see Panic of 1893 on The Other Wiki), not to mentn the Spanish-Amerin War.

Even then, the term "Gild Age" (as , "ated gold") was specifilly meant to dite that the good tim were only a surface veneer, wh ser problems lurkg jt beneath (as the Gay Neti themselv later monstrated). " Also, a French aristocrat by the name of Pierre Coubert would revive the Olympic Gam for the Gay Neti, which would be hosted Greece (the se of the origal Olympics).

It should also be noted that the term "Gay Neti" for this era, like the "Edwardian Era" that followed , is primarily Brish.

This wasn't ually done whout at least a b of irony (ually only satiril or Cloudcuckoolanr works), but wrers and artists returned to the Gay Neti well so often that s nventns beme even more stereotypil. This is a Fotten Trope and the fact that the name "Gay Neti" was never changed should give you an ia how long 's been ad. However, today's general unfaiary wh the perd works set the 1880s or 1900s may make their settg distguishable om the stereotypil Gay Neti.

However, kooky Gay Neti stuff still pops up ocsnally, most often works directed at preteen children, or surreal edy seri such as The Simpsons or Fay Guy.
