From Hawaii Five-O in primetime to Arthur on the silver screen, everything new is old again. "Instead of being the threshold to the future, the first ten years of the twenty-first century turned out to be the 'Re' Decade," Simon Reynolds writes in his new book, as in "revivals," "reissues," and "remakes." Read my review @ the American Spectator of Reynolds' Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to Its Own Past. We're lamer than you think.

Is it Boomers’ revenge or just that the retro stuff is better? Not sure really. But there does seem to be a lot of marketing and catering to the old timers as maybe many of them are getting nostalgic and sappy.

I will say that my kids, for the most part, listen to retro music (60’s, 70’s, 80’s and some 90’s). But they have their own taste and prefer more up to date television programming and movies.

I never thought about "boomers revenge" or retro stuff being better. I just thought it was because Hollywood producers simply don't have any creativity beyond repeating old leftist talking points. Again no creativity!! Maybe the old stuff is simply so good that it cam't be improved upon but then again I don't think any of it is very good!!
