I never even knew of this version til today, 2024.0406. I texted it to my best friend from high school.

      100% true. The neon, glass, brass, white look was very 80's modish but nearly everyone who wasn't rich was still living with furniture and colors from the 1970s. My parents had a brown, tan, and orange couch and their kitchen was still painted that popular 70s gold color until about 1993. The stuff that did look "80s" tended to be the things like clothing, linens, and other things that you replaced every few years. I totally had a denim jacket, high-tops, and a walkman but still went home and watched a 18in TV from about 1978.

      It's not exactly astrophysics or neurosurgery. This has been done before, with nostalgia for the '50s happening in the late '70s to mid '80s, and a lot of fashion and music cycling back through the references of every decade or so since the 1950s. Plus, Weezer dabbled in that, too: they had clips from a '70s show that referenced the 1950s: "Buddy Holly", with a Happy Days clip. Sorry- my mind is neither ironically nor sarcastically blown!
