Retro video games and aesthetics are having a moment, but it’s not just gen X and older millennials reliving their heyday: younger millennials and gen Z are getting in on the nostalgia too
I have no proof but my gut is that Gen Z experienced retro games second hand through video essays or streamers. And they experienced the games at around the age that they'd be feeling nostalgic for now. So I've met zoomers who have like a phantom nostalgia for things like Mario 64 or Doom.

It's neat
a lot of us grew up with Mario 64 DS, basically the same game but more stars and playable characters you unlock. got it in like 2011 when i was 7
