<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 32226, member: 37&quot;]I find this kind of stuff extremely interesting as well. A big part of success in art and design is hype. Had the Keane&#039;s success been 30 years later, they would have been superstars and much more successful and wealthy than they were then.&nbsp; Take Rodrigue (Blue Dogs), Thomas Kinkade, or even Grumpy Cat as cases in point. </p><p><br /></p><p>Popular culture moves much faster across space and time than it did back then. This falls in line with my theory that most people are basically sheep when it comes to taste and gravitate to what phenomenon is the flavor of the day. I just need to figure out the next flavor and promote it effectively. </p><p><br /></p><p>I might add that liking something for its nostalgia , kitsch factor, or cult status is different than liking it because it is the next big thing or your neighbor likes it. There is something much more tongue in cheek about it, giving it a cool component that is off kilter from the main stream. I guess it is a fine line but is a distinction that can be made.&nbsp; When retro appeal becomes the next big thing it is probably time to move on....... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
