Generation X Vibe

This show hints at so many things from the 1980s. I love it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I like the little references the show has (like the street-fighter parody in The Words; the Wii shop music in an episode I forgot the name of)

It has more of a 90's vibe than anything else. Love to see Richard wearing his flannel and mock Nirvana smiley face T-shirt from when he was young.

Right? Makes me wonder how old their parents are because they looked real young in that scene and Nirvana was the 90s. I know they were definitely teenagers.

I love that about the show, it's so far out and I can never tell if we're in the present or we're in another time period like how Jimmy Neutron had a retro 50s vibe.

"The Void" is the best episode in terms of how nostalgic it is.

The technology is definitely out of the 80s. I love the old TV, phones, and computer they have. :)

I personally find it to be a nice blend of old and new stuff. If there is a 1980s vibe, at least it's not as in-your-face as Regular Show.

Regular Show, just seems to be a show set in modern times, but featuring characters who are fans of 80s things, mostly videogames, but they (and the show itself) look at it as a a kind of "old is just another word for classic" view point, I think. So it's no more in your face than real life, since the previous decades are still here, in their own way.

I know and I love it! I. A huge 80s and 90s junkie. Ah, nostalgia.
