Given that I spent a good portion of my socializing time from ages 13-23 making fun of "adults" (I looked a bit older than I was, drinking age was only 18, and no one really gave a shit in Brooklyn), I personally couldn't really imagine reacting to such a comment in any other way than to laugh a lot in recognition that kids know something grown-ups don't (because dressing up for a theme party in 80s duds is just as retarded as trying to look hip, but then I'm with gordonzola on the theme thing). Fuck, they'll find out soon enough that grown-ups know way too much that kids don't, doncha think?
Re: I hate retro. I hate nostalgia. And I really, really, hate theme parties.
