There's a big move towards "retro cool." Not sure if this is a new thing, or it happens every generation. But there's a feel that retro is more "real" or more authentic. So much of today's world is fake and manipulated by the media, people seem to believe that things from earlier times are more real and authentic. A coke from a can is processed and a drain cleaner. But put it in a glass bottle, and its retro, and therefore awesome. I don't agree with retro. Just because something was cool at a previous time doesn't mean that it is more authentic. Things were just as commercialized back then as they are today. The only difference is that people are more aware of it now. Or at least that's how it seems to me. I wasn't there after all.
