It is kind of frustrating when everyone talks about this like it's this obviously famous thing, acting pretentiously, lamenting how there's nothing like it anymore, shunning everyone else - and it turns out it's basically a microculture from not just America, but a very specific location in America, from a very specific time. "Things were so much better back then, but you wouldn't get it you weren't there and I'm not going to let you understand". Gah. If you want whatever this is to come back in spirit, stop lamenting at very turn and be more open, make friends, build stuff, or at the very least explain what's going on and share the magic, we're all interested in niche stuff here and who knows, maybe you'll get in touch with someone with the same brain frequency you're looking for.
