Scenario: Golden Years

The Golden Years (Scenario) occurs when the many trends and ideologies of the past slowly build up upon each other leaving a world of the past in the future.
Since the popularity of vinyl records started in 2007, more trends will follow revolving around things of the past. In 2034, just like the age of tapes and discs ended, digital music, video, etc will begin to lose its popularity. Due to there being no replacement to be in place for digitalization, we will begin going backwards towards discs and cassettes. In 2040, Universal Music Group will release their first song on audio cassette for the first time in years, and various other labels will follow. The same turn of events will happen for DVD and CD. Vinyl, Cassette and conventional Discs rise to popularity again, and the money made from these rereleases will prompt corporations to bring back even more things many people would have thought to be long dead. General Motors will release a new car series with the designs of 1980s and 1970s styled vehicles, further strengthening the “New Old” Trend.
