I don't buy that generalization, Charles.
I see the same people celebrating music, fashion, slang, fads—from their childhood era.
That's the very reason my group started playing this year: as an ironic retro activity. A hip thing to do.
It's the non-retro gamer; into more-recent games; who is viewed with more suspion and confusion. Who is harder to catagorize, and therefore more threatening.
And who doesn't have the social sense to laugh-off what he's doing as related to harmless childhood fun. But rather tries to claim it's heavy adult stuff. Heavy Adult Stuff of all sorts is a smalltalk taboo.
This makes Curly go "I'm talking bout post #37"
