As much these etiquette rules seem absurd from a 2024 outlook, at least they had rules. Our world has bling, and a serious lack of refinement 🍸

No one prevents you to keep on applying those rules in your circles.

Fair point. Interestingly, I think Wilde's work (and also Dickens's) plays with the gap between the idealism of these rules and the reality they saw around them (rampant poverty, prostitution, religious and political hypocrisy, etc).
