I've noticed this as well. My general every day attire is what the Gen Z's are calling "Country Paw Paw" I own a repair business, so "work clothes" are standard. Mine are generally a pearl snap western shirt, wrangler jeans, and western work boots. This style has come back into fashion and my wife teases me that the fact that I still like the "90's Country" look has actually put me ahead of the curve. The music is popular again, which has been a bonus for me as well.

Recently, I've been getting compliments on my music, my clothes, etc. My wife gets a kick out of it, and it's come at a good time for me, as I've been feeling "old" lately.

It ebbs and flows a bit, but certainly quieter now than we were when I first wandered in around 2007. It's the same across what we might call the "Vintage [20s-60s] scene" more broadly. I've seen a lot of events and suppliers disappear, or move on to another period. People come in and out. Eras go in and out of fashion. I think our preferred eras are going through a quieter period now in terms of casual interest. Kids now don't have a direct link to the War, or the 50s, or whatever. The average 18 year old in Britain and Ireland today has grandparents who were born in the 50s and came of age in the 60s. Time marches on.
