Thinking about the French and Russian revolutions, the French rev you had the neo-classicism replacing rococo, because like yeah people were fucking pissed at aristocrats and their ultra fun carefree “everything is candy colored and covered in gold and I’m having a feast of candy while everyone else starves” and I mean if you’ve ever read Lost Splendor you know what that was like “Oh we have a train car full of birds on our train we go on vacation on in case you don’t like train noises, oh we have like 20 houses we’ve forgotten about and like a bunch of warehouses full of treasure we’ve forgotten about and another train with luxury dining and a car full of birds we never use, whatevs” (that’s literally true) and both of those lead to kind of… dour anti-hedonism stuff, where frivolity and luxurious ultra fancy stuff was frowned upon, but now?  Now the rich are all about eating kale and drinking water and minimalism.

Think about it, think about the post revolutionary reaction to shit like bougie “superfoods”.

This is going to be great.
