The Grunge “look” of flannel and dirty jeans seems to be much more prevalent the past year or two (at least on the campus where I work), although it never totally disappeared. All the Nickelodeon nostalgia has been a big driver, too, and the Goosebumps films were an interesting omen, to name just a couple of…

Let’s not forget there was a lot of 70's nostalgia in the late 90's through 00's.  We’ve mostly switched to 80's nostalgia, and already there are rumblings of 90's nostalgia (sigh)

You just described “confirmation bias”.

I have called ahead about whether a game/channel would be available, but only because I didn’t have television at my home at the time and going to a local sports bar was (gasp) a fun way to catch the game in a setting where others might also be enjoying it. Also, I’d rather do that than walk all the way there for no…

I agree totally, although I’m not sure what you were going for with the “I find you to be less than human,” bit. What are your qualifications for judging humanity? Look out, we got a badass over here people!
