Are we still in the Baroque Era?

The Baroque Era started around the 1600's and carried all the way until around the 1750's. Some people though still believe that we practice some of the Baroque Era characteristics today. The Baroque Era consisted of the most glamorous of everything. Once money had been introduced to the people, the rich had to have the best of everything; big hair, beautiful dresses and accessories. I believe though that we still have ways in modern day in which the Baroque is still in cooperated. For example; My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding. The women dress up so drastically that sometimes they cant even fit through the frame of a door. Really any wedding women dress up in extreme ways to feel the most beautiful that they can. The wedding dresses, hair and accessories are very Baroque, but with a modern spin on it. I believe that it will always be in cooperated in to modern day, as long as there is money flowing. Most wealthy people will always want to show off how wealthy they really are in certain ways. Having bigger, better and flashier things than people who don't have as much money is one way. That is how the wealthy people in the Baroque Era showed that they were wealthy.
