Our parents' generations were encouraged to settle down and become adults a lot sooner, in their early 20's. Now we've got our whole 20's and even our 30's to arse around, and nobody is quite sure what to do with it, so all we do is regress back to when we were younger and find the things that we enjoyed doing then. There's this great shift towards nostalgia and looking back... We're now being nostalgic about recent things. As soon as nostalgia catches up with the present, it will be armageddon.
~ Simon Pegg
Things I should not be nostalgic about, lest I tempt fate:
- VHS
- the Kenny Everett Show
- the Spice Girls
- canned chocolate custard
- the smell of summer rain
- sleeping over
