Nostalgia?

The place where I get my haircut is called the "Famous American Barbershop" It's got life sized models of Elvis, etc on the counter and the walls are covered with "50's themed" pop culture stuff. (The shopping center was built in the last 4 years). I'm 36 and I get thinking....who's interested in this stuff these days? Certainly the people that remember it when they were young are getting fewer and fewer (and fewer than that in the suburban sprawl I live in).

But, made me think further, what nostalgic junk would there be for my generation? The 50's and 60's have been played for a long time for the baby boomer generation. Will there be such a surge of "feel good" nostalgia for this generation? I think a lot of this is based on common ties and common experiences. How would the Gen Xers celebrate the past pop cuture...or whatever.

What about the current generation, the Millennials? Everything is so fragmented these days. Does anyone have a common experience?

What do you think?
