The ’90s called, they want their phones back.

• Gen Z’s nostalgia for the early 2000s is sparking a revival of landline phones, seen as a retro-chic escape from the digital age.

• Influenced by '90s and 2000s TV shows, young adults like Nicole Randone and Sam Casper embrace landlines for their vintage appeal.

• Urban Outfitters capitalizes on Gen Z’s love for nostalgia by selling retro items like landline phones alongside fashion trends from the '90s and 2000s.

    I feel like you’re completely ignoring my original question. Seeing that despite being controversial it has 12 upvotes and zero downvotes then maybe that’s an indication that it’s a valid question and I’m not the only one wondering the same thing.

      If barely double digit vote counts are how you decide what is right and wrong then we have nothing to discuss.

      Mine above you is 42/1 (I’m willing to bet that 1 is you but I’m too lazy to check) so there you go. Stop using the term because the numbers said so.

        I’ll take that bet.

        I haven’t made any moral statements about right and wrong. It’s a simple question about why something is the way it is. Simple question you refuse to engage with so no point in going any further with this.
