    When I was a kid in the 70s, Grease was huge, glamorizing 1950s “oldies” music like it was from some long-ago era. That’s only 20 years. That’s like glamorizing music from 2006 today. The 90s are definitely “classic rock” now. Trippy.

      The only part that makes your comparison absurd is the fact that there’s nothing special about 2006.

      In your head, right now, imagine the 1950s. There’s a distinct style you’re seeing, isn’t there?

      Now picture 2006. How is the image any different than today, besides the cars today being computers on wheels?

      We would be glorifing 2006, if there was anything worthwhile about it.

        emo kids and hip hop of the era. frosted tips, lots of hairgel.

        there was a lot of stuff that was different back then. The stuff that was fun was also in its infancy.
