obervation.....no nostalgia for the depression.  the nostalgia window closes 
each decade.  by 2080 the nostalgia craze will be the last five minutes.

THIS IS A PRETTY GOOD CHART and almost accurate, considering that in the 
'70s, it was the '50s that saw that nostalgia craze (not the '40s... the "Swing" 
thing didn't hit until the mid-90s).  Becky did a cover story on this whole 
phenomenon for Brandweek a few years back, and I'll have to say that in San 
Francisco, there was an article in the Bay Guardian that explained how the release 
of the Spice Girls movie was the moment when people attended it to laugh in 
retrospect... the moment it came out... i.e., nostalgia and retro caught up with 
the present when hipsters flocked to the Spice Girls movie in order to creep 
out on the now.
