The 1960s were one of the most violent, divisive periods in American history. The 80s they were looked at with rose colored glasses. Just ignore the unpleasant stuff like Stranger Things does.

Gen Z seems like it doesn’t have clear cultural paradigms. They grew up in a deluge of corporate nostalgia-bait slop mainly aimed at Gen X. Many just tuned out of pop-culture, or adopted some older fragments of it.

Like, my teenage niece and her friends have never seen Star Wars or a Marvel film, but are obsessed with the office. Otherwise they just watch YouTube and TikTok.

Once Disney and the rest of Hollywood ruthlessly strip-mines the 90’s and Millennial nostalgia for every last penny, I think they’re going to be in trouble, because they have no idea how to appeal to anyone younger anymore.

the old concept of cultural changeover with generations is basically gone. there is so much material freely available online that there's just no real need for bored kids to come up with their own culture, because the chances are it was already done 40 years ago or less and they can just look it up and identify with that, and then do a riff on that for their own creativity.

I mean, how many of us grew up awash in boomer nostalgia? I remember watching Nick at Nite and reading back issues of Mad Magazine as a kid; plus references in The Simpsons and MST3k; and reboots and movie adaptations like The Addams Family. One of Weird Al's earliest hits was about I Love Lucy.

One thing about Stranger Things that wouldn't surprise me as part of the appeal to zoomers: a look back at a time when American kids and teenagers could roam around unsupervised.

(Now, if I were to write something based on 90s nostalgia, it'd involve Image Comics and those Nintendo "Play It Loud!" ads, plus the OJ trial.)

Yeah when tuning the nostalgia mines for the early 2000’s you run into a wall of lovely global events that just kept coming amidst the backdrop of global warming.

Then there’s peak cable that rolled into the rise of streaming, which broke up pop culture into smaller and smaller niches with fewer and fewer big shared experiences. Mike talked about that in his ST09 review.

2000's nostalgia is gonna be "remember gasoline? remember when we didn't have to live underground like mole people? there used to be "hamburger stores" where you could go and eat patties of cow meat. Also there was an element called 'helium' that existed and it could make things float!"

Goddamn Studio 60 was the most ridiculous piece of poo poo. Like, there was an episode where one of the cast members got pulled over in Pahrump, NV and John Goodman played a local judge who (naturally) was a hardcore conservative Christian and thus hated the show for not respecting the values of small towns like Pahrump. This, of course, ignores the fact that the actual Pahrump is the brothel capital of Nevada.

Aaron Sorkin might just be the dumbest man alive.

I remember when it came out and everyone was like "oh man it is in competition with 30 rock because they're about the same thing!" but then 30 rock was actually funny and watchable unlike that garbage which lasted barely a full season.
