What Aspects of the 2020s Will Evoke Nostalgia?


Each decade has elements that are fondly remembered by those growing up at that time. Over time, that nostalgia can become palpable and thereby create value for businesses who can indulge the nostalgic.

What aspects of the current 2020s do you think will create nostalgia in the coming decades?

The first COVID wave eliminated my “fear of missing out” but now it’s back again.

I think some people will miss the finer parts of isolation.

I hope that there will be some kind of "authoritarian chic" where people ironically wear masks and say "papers please" and have some vaccine memes as a kind of absurd anachronism for how silly we've all behaved. Maybe some pronoun nametags thrown in.

Realistically, I expect that like a lot of nostalgia, well look back on the freedoms we still had in 2022 and remember a time when life was better.
