No, I’m not. Old digital point-and-shoots, and the harsh direct flash aesthetic, have been very popular. Some specific camera models that some random popular TikToker happened to recommend have been selling at quite a mark-up.
Two-ish decades is the standard length of a trend cycle. 00s is now retro in a cool way. Gen Z/Alpha, who have grown with phone cameras, want a different look, and having a real flash is particularly attractive because it allows taking reasonable photos in night clubs etc. Just like we did back in the day.

- breezybottom 14d agoHow do you quantify that as a trend? Prices change all the time. How many people actually bought it? The stuff about "generations" and trend cycles is nonsense.
- Sharlin 14d agoOk, think what you want. I have zero interest in arguing about stuff like trying to quantify qualitative things.

- seekling 14d agoSpeaking as Gen Z; yes, "early digital camera" aesthetic has been in vogue, along with Y2K as a whole. Polaroid was a trend right about when the Instagram logo looked like one. If you will not be open to a new idea without "quantitative evidence", you are free to use Google Trends to substantiate my claims.
- breezybottom 14d agoAs if we needed any more proof that "generations" are nonsense, now people claim to have omniscience regarding their generational cohorts.
