Apparently the 80's are back in style.

Here's my theory of trends: Year Zero: the trend is born. It can last any length of time but it has to be huge for the rest of this to work. Five to Fifteen Years later: it's mocked as ugly, embarrassing, "what were they thinking." People wear it for Halloween to make others laugh. Fifteen to 25 years later: it begins to be remembered more fondly and revision starts to set in. 25-35 years later: retro cool 35-60 years later: vintage vibes. Whatever survives gets melded into one "vintage" era until it slowly fades out of the culture altogether. Us Xers saw the tail end of the 1890s and 1900s vintage vibes in stuff like Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor and Main Street at Disneyland/Disneyworld (which I think is only still like that because of the company's reverance to Walt). Probably other stuff I'm forgetting.
