I have always been a history nerd. When I was 5/6 years old, I was a big time WWI airplane nerd. My Grandpa got me a WWII game, and then I became a WWII nerd.
I never ever feel drawn to modern culture. In fact, modern culture repulses me. The music, the morals, the clothes, the cars, the designs, everything. Modern society is, in my opinion, polluted with sin.
Thus, as I am repulsed by the modern world, I am drawn to the old world, a world which is not so heavily contaminated by sinful ways. But this is not all. Old time things had a quality, a quality which is not seen in the modern world. The modern philosophy of minimalism is a bane to quality and nice design. Old designs were all beautiful, and old music all sound wonderful, whilst Modern design looks awful, and barren, and Modern music sounds abominable, and bleak. Vintage clothes are properly designed, with correct proportions to look right, and are nice and modest. While Modern clothes are ugly, with wrong proportions, and are smutty. The Modern world is a foul world, full of sin, and awfully designed things. Clearly mankind fell down with the pants rise.
I personally love vintage things, since they are all beautiful, and quaint. People used to love God, and their neighbor, and it showed in their work. The clothes were comfortable, modest, and pleasing to see. The cars did not look aggressive, but rather, happy, and jovial. The cars were not built so they could go far over the speed limit, but rather, so they could get the passengers to their destination. Buildings were not minimalistic, but rather, beautifully detailed, even in the smallest of places. Music was pleasing to hear, joyful sounding, and did not glorify sinful behavior. Houses were wonderfully charming, with beautiful details, and plenty of color. Aluminum awnings and wallpaper were only some of the many details that brought quaint elegance to the houses. People wore hats, not just for a few decades, or centuries, but for thousands of years. The hats changed, but nevertheless, they stayed on the heads of fellow people. Movies were moral, and featured the Hay's Code, which was an underrated blessing to the film industry, as it kept films with as least sinful content as possible. People went to church, and loved the LORD, who created them all. People respected God far more than their modern kin.
However, it would be naive to say that all was wonderful back then, since racism, and other problems were more prevalent then today. However, if you take racism, and other things out of the picture, then it becomes an era, with moral, sane people.
In short, I assume you can say that I am merely drawn towards the Golden Era. It is like a magnet to me, it is part of who I am, part of my personality.
This is why I love the Golden Era.
