Nostalgia for the Next Generation
Building on the Past
Maybe you inherited your Dad's collection of paperbacks. Or maybe you 'liberated' your Mom's Rex Ensemble records when she started to switch to CDs. Whatever the situation, a lot of us got a head start on some of our collections thanks to the generations of fans before us.
We make these collections our own, even though we may not have lived through the original experiences when the objects were new. And adding to these second-generation collections not only helps you feel closer to loved ones, it helps you feel part of a wider pop culture community.
So now that your nieces and nephews - or maybe your own kids - are old enough to learn about real culture, what will you share with the next generation?
