NOSTALGIA usually refers to a bitter-sweet mood in which one remembers "the way we were." Older people are prone to it, but recently, ersatz nostalgia has become a trend with the younger genera-tions born in the 1960s, the 1970s, or even the 1980s. Each age group has its own past to be wistful about. Retro ele-ments are in fashion, in entertainment, in f ilm and television, and in literature. It has become the critical yeast in the bread of commercial promotion.
