I interpret modern as meaning something occurred after a specific innovation.
The innovation: a lot of flashy crap that’s supposed to be slick, that we didn’t need and couldn’t support 20 years ago.
The innovation: her death. I’m guessing modern-day Amelia Earhart is a successor to Amelia Earhart in the present day, or who at least was active after Earhart died.
I don’t know what this means.
This might have a meaning, but I don’t know it. Some not modern rap would be those 10 minute songs that were just Bo Diddley and his percussionist jamming and telling yo mama jokes , but this probably refers to a subgenre of rap that emerged several innovations later. Which innovations, I can’t tell without more info.
I’m not too familiar with this, but it probably means one of two things. Either someone made an improvement to the existing kit, or they brought back a discontinued electronics kit.
I’m guessing this is jet aviation, as opposed to propeller aviation.
I’m guessing this means that there have been fewer updates to the violin after Stradivarius than between Amati and Stradivarius. Amati violins are violins as we know them today, but are bigger yet not as solidly built. A professional violinist can play one, but will quickly notice differences from a newer violin.
Probably smart phones (i.e., a computer in your pocket) vs dumb phones (just a phone, with no Internet, no apps, and actual physical keys)
Means something, but I don’t know what, and don’t really care what. Any enthusiasts of Belgian techno able to help me out?
Shot on digital equipment with more professional ability to record and edit?
Word salad to me.
Many innovations in post have occurred since the 19th Century. The ability to transmit text documents to anyone in the world, anywhere, instantly, for example. Even email spam is markedly different from 80s faxlore in how and where it is sent.
Modern doesn’t have to refer to a set time period, just a time period after a significant innovation.
