Now It's Generation X's Time To Ruin Culture With Nostalgia
“A publisher who was a teenager in 1989 can commission a novel loaded with references to ecstasy, rave culture and the Stone Roses rather than one that gives nods to amphetamines, Vespa scooters and The Who. A forty-something television boss can launch a drama set in the 1980s, complete with a Cure soundtrack. A greying Sunday supplement editor can publish an essay on the Hacienda nightclub. Intrigued by the hype, younger consumers investigate. Many of those shelling out for Stone Roses tickets now were learning to speak in 1989.”
— You are all a Stone Roses generation.
