In this brief overview of the stellar populations of galaxies in clusters I highlight some of the most recent results, including the downsizing of the k+a population and the star formation-local density relation. I conclude discussing some open questions regarding the interpretation of the observational results, and speculating on the current meaning of the words “primordial” and “environmental”.
