    Sure, I’m not saying that they’re immune from nostalgia. Im not so saying that because they were to soon after Boomers, they didn’t have anyone from whom to learn about making nostalgia a marketing device that consumes everyone, and didn’t really have a good run at first. The mid-70s sucked for most people, and waiting in line for gasoline with your parents and the rather bizzare kids’ shows of the time don’t hit as a unofied cultural icon the same as the NES or the Beatles.
