Very relevant as the world is hopefully at the tail end of COVID
LOL wearing black is in every culture however i don't think people chose actual tailcoats for that... that's what you wear at a high end super royal balls, a white tie type of stuff, literally the whole set is that sort of, not exactly "death" like, i'd say...I think you're just reading into it a bit too much, imo. They are just dancing around. Technically "the spring" is already there (ayu, colours bla bla) so i'm not sure it works for the agenda you're talking about...lol
