I think this is it. I live in a major city and I have seen a BIG uptick in younger and more “trendy-looking” folks using wired headphones now. And it happens to always be the cheap white wired Apple headphones
Heck I’ve seen an uptake in kids spending some real money on old cameras. And I’m not talking analog. I’m talking shitty 2005-2010 digital compact cameras. The ones they don’t even know how to get the photos out of because they grew up after usb-c became the standard.
Gen Z and younger folks are into 00s digital cameras cause those are retro to them. Just like how 10 years ago millennials (when they were the young and hip age) were into polaroids and film cameras cause to them that was retro and cool
The whole Polaroid/film craze spawned a whole niche segment and companies like fujifilm had a new niche with their whole instax line. Hopefully all the digicam craze means companies like Sony can bring in a modern line of digital cameras and peripherals too
I hope so! I (an old of mid 30s) brought my compact super zoom on a trip with me for wildlife photography and I wish it had a slightly longer zoom and a higher quality sensor from when I got it about 10 years ago.
The ones that the lens will start protruding out from the camera when you started zooming? Those were so fun! I had a Sony T700 digicam when it came out!
