IIRC, some American wrote a book describing he and his friends as such, and defining what it meant, and everyone their age in a certain income bracket took it as an instruction manual, becoming Borg-ified shadows of whatever selves they had (questionable) to begin with.

They use the word "Ironically" a lot. But they use it in the same way it was (mis)-used in Alanis Morrissette's music video, "Isn't it Ironic?" Also featured is pricey designer thrift-store-look fashion (they spend thousands of dollars to look like they're homeless, and/or possibly don't practice good self-care), and anything from the 1980s is treated as the epitome of human civilization (even though these kids probably weren't even out of diapers when they wear t-shirts with the brands/logos in question were popular.)

Or, y'know, I could just be an old fogey, and totally missing the point of something that the generation after me has picked up on.

The 80s sucked, man. Why would you worship them? Why?

The 80s quite possibly had the best alternative/underground/independent music (for lack of a better word, just... stuff on independent labels) ever, that's probably responsible for the obsession

I get people who are obsessed with 80s stuff like post punk bands or whatever but not so much the neon leg-warmers and Debbie Gibson and shit like that
