Vacuum cleaner and parquet: 5 things that young people from different countries refuse

Each generation of youth has certain items that are considered indicators of wealth and adherence to some ideology. At one time, these things were bought for fabulous money and, of course, were shown to all friends and relatives - because then it was so cool and luxurious at the same time.

Today, modern young people are ready to give up some things that, in their opinion, are absolutely unnecessary and, moreover, they are more of an excess than a necessity.

Vacuum cleaner

Just recently, having a large vacuum cleaner (and even a washing one!) was an integral part of every family. And if you look at all about 30 years ago, then you could even brag about it to friends and family.

Today's youth are ready to completely abandon this technology. The only exception is the robot vacuum cleaner. This smart assistant still somehow enjoys respect from young people, and it saves significant time. Well, and on top of everything, you don’t need to do anything at all, just clean the garbage container from time to time. And then you won’t understand what dictates such popularity here - practicality or laziness.

Leather sofa

Another thing that in the 2000s was considered a sign of luxury and wealth. If you had a leather sofa in your house, then be sure that everyone who saw it considered you a wealthy family.

Today, a leather sofa will not surprise anyone at all.Moreover, the younger generation is unlikely to attach importance to what material your furniture is upholstered in - they don’t care at all.

Music Center

Arrange friendly gatherings at someone’s house, where popular music was playing from the music center - what else could be cooler? But this is what we, middle-aged people, think... And these days this is already considered a relic, and young people even think that it is high time to send the centers to the trash bin.

Crystal Chandelier

Another thing that many people bragged about if they managed to get their hands on it. A huge chandelier with crystal pendants, solemnly hanging from the ceiling - it was mega-cool and very fashionable.

Yes, even today you can find quite voluminous chandeliers, including crystal ones, but young people today prefer something more minimalistic and simple.

Parquet

Few people could afford such flooring. Moreover, everyone was proud of the parquet flooring - it was considered simply chic.

Today, young people making renovations are unlikely to choose this type of covering - they prefer laminate, but sometimes stylized as parquet. But a real parquet board is a rather capricious thing, because it needs to be washed in a special way, and you still have to take care of it if you want to extend its life.

These are simple things that have long since become obsolete and are unlikely to become popular again. However, there is nothing strange in this, since time passes - habits, fashion, traditions, and preferences change.
