User:Boston/Old Timeyness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Timeyness is the invocation of images and memes of the late 1800s and 1900s, generally not more than a generation before or after the turn of the century. The term that describes such images, "Old Timey", may also be used in a more general sense, in which case it is synonymous with "old fashioned".
Old timeyness is often campy and put forth as a sort of "ultra-corniness". At other times, it is used to invoke an era of integrity and quality that stands in opposition to inferior "new fangled" ways of doing things.
