It's a bit embarrassing. permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 18 points 5 months ago (2 children) Have you seen Boomers with their Disney and Beatles memorabilia? Or Forrest Gump? I think nostalgia suckers are spread across generations. And it's not like you're gonna see nostalgia marketing for Zoomers because 1) they're like 25; and 2) they don't have any money. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (2 children) Is Gen X nostalgia even a thing compared with boomer and millennial nostalgia?

You could tell by how so many sitcoms that Gen X have watched haven't seen a reboot or a revival or a cinematic universe.
