Personal Story:
I was at Walmart the other day when I saw a redneck wearing some Walmart slacks. Not only was I laughing at this, but also she was wearing a t-shirt that said 'Queen of the world', and as I was walking by her, I happened to pass a rack full of the exact same shirt that was on rollback.

(N.) The renaissance of culture and technology of the late 19th - mid 20th century, followed by "Prostalgia" or "Prostalgics". This culture movement is infused with modern day accommodations, and is based in the Baltimore, MD/Washington DC area, (which are major Hipster hot spots) and this movement is the classier brother of the hipster movement.
How to spot a prostalgic person;
What music they like, what they wear, and they're overall appearance tend to be that of your grandmother/father when they were young. These people tend to be confused with Hipsters, however, prostalgic people tend to uphold old values and ways of life, only using modern luxuries when strictly necessary. Prostalgic people also are connoisseurs of class, whereas hipsters have modern lifestyles infused with only a small bit of old world items.
Pure breakdown of prostalgic people to average people;
Avg. Person - 90% modern, 10% vintage
Hipsters - 80% modern, 15% vintage, 5% Starbucks
Prostalgics - +70% vintage, 30% modern
Here is an example of a Prostalgic being recognized at a cafe;

"No, he's just prostalgia." He said.
"How do you know?"
"He's using a typewriter instead of a computer, see."
