I was waiting for this to pop up here. I liked when they gave them the nes and told them to figure it out and make it work.

A former fifth grade student of mine called the NES a "Nintendo Machine." Sure that video has similar statements.

I like how the ones bashing the NES for being old all wore their hat backwards like they invented that look

People have an easily browsed and nicely indexed Knowledge Database, with rich content from all areas, in the palm of their hands, and yet no one seems to care to search more about what they don't know about, like the girl with a NES pad phone case who didn't knew what it represented...

I found that humoras and frustrating as well.


Okay you go and have something on your iphone case....you feel it is cool or represents someting...it in a way represents YOU as you use it for individuality.

BUT you don't bother to even check what it means, or represents? 

It's like when people go and get a tattoo and don't bother to research if that chinese symbol for HOPE doesn't really mean chicken soup

or gives you the feeling that the person wearing a particular symbol or logo is being a poser with no connection ties or interest to what it means...

they just wear it because it is cool or cute.

I skimmed through parts of this video, watched maybe half the run time. I caught that phone case comment.

I have seen this many times over the years. I recall seeing a few times, once in 2003 or so? another in 2005 or 2006 or so. Some company, that teens and early twenties shopped at, were selling, "Vintage look" shirts for rock bands. I couldn't keep to myself, and asked one girl, wearing a logo of the Rolling Stones' toungue hanging out logo if she liked Rolling Stones. I already knew she probably ahd no idea about the band. She replied, "Huh"? I mentioned, "The logo, on your shirt." She had no idea it had to do with the Rolling Stones.

Another, was waiting somewhere for something, I also could not keep to myself, as I knew this 18 year old probably did not know the band he was wearing a shirt of. I think he was wearing a t-shirt for Led Zeppelin? REO Speedwagon? Foghat? I forget, but I asked the guy, "so, you like __________'s music?" He just kinda looked down, and said, "Yeah...." An older person nearby started smirking, I left it alone, as I wasn't trying to make the kid feel bad.

Another time, fitting with the handle I use here, I was getting rid of some old shirts. I had a promo T-shirt from Media Blasters, when they released Zombi 2 on DVD. I wasn't going to wear it, so I asked someone if they wanted it, and he said he knew of someone whose kid would like it, since he liked Zombies, and Zombies are now the hot thing. I mentioned to him it's going to be a bit poserish and silly for him to walk around in a shirt for a movie he knows nothing about. That guy then asked if I could copy a DVD of it for him, I told him no, that guy's kid can track down the movie himself, if he wants.

There is a lot of this stuff out there. Usually, with younger people going for older things that they know nothing about, other than it's retro, vintage, whatever. It's been going on for years. This, "Retro" stuff is marketed direct to these younger folk. I've seen it at department stores, the t-shirts with vintage rock bands on them, the younger people buying them probably haven't heard much from before.

About the only thing similar I recall doing, when I was younger, a friend of my parents gave them a poster for the movie, "Grizzly" in the late 80s. I'm not sure if they looked through some old posters he had, or if it turned up in a box of stuff. i don't know. I had not seen the movie, but I had it placed on my wall in my bedroom. I'm unsure what happened to that poster, I think it was eventually torn than trashed. It was crazy to look at when I was younger, that menacing Grizzly. When I was older I saw the movie, though.

I know exactly what you mean. And I cant seem to be a ball buster at timws with these kids.

I'll freely admit that there are things before my time I like.

50s coke machines. I simply love the design and look. But coke a cola is pretty universal. And relivant.

Old roteray phones that weigh 20lbs that hang from the wall and have chrone.

But for much of what I like I research. I find it fun to look into things history.


Why is this desk type called tanker desk. And then I am off. 

If anything I love having access to such a wealth of usuless but interging knowledge.

I've been watching NHK's "Begin Japanology" series.
Youtube has (I think) almost all the episode.  Really interesting stuff...well worth checking out.
