I hate to be the one to tell you this: your kid is a hipster.

I'm sorry. There is no cure.

I have to listen to Elton John, Donovan, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, all night.
He wears fedoras, an old Vance motorcycle jacket, pinstripe three piece suits.
An old flint and Ronsonol lighter was his favorite thing all summer.
His current glasses are vintage American Optical safety glasses with wire temples.
He has every GameBoy ever made.
The only watch he wears is a Casio calculator watch.
He keeps asking me to fix his typewriter.

Are you seeing kids going retro like this? Is it a good thing or stupid?
