I feel the same way when I see some thirteen year old wearing a Fraggles t-shirt. You could say something like, "Would you like some dozer sticks with that," and they'd be all, "huh?".
It is really frustrating seeing everything that I loved as a child, and held sacred puked back up into the mainstream so everyone and their dog can wear it like it was theirs. These were *my* gods. No, you DON'T understand Skelletor, or how he was secretly in love with Rose Petal. They have no idea who Tickeled Pink or Stormy is, and they think that Jem is some strange new pop sensation. They don't even understand the IRONY of a pop singer going by the name Jem!
I want to wear it on my back because it was mine, but I can't, because I don't want to be like them.
