我们生活在一个流行时代，疯狂的复古和疯狂的纪念。乐队重组和团聚图尔斯之旅，扩大重新发行的经典专辑和外卖塞满盒集，翻拍和续集，致敬专辑和混搭.但是当我们的过去用完了会发生什么呢？我们是否正在走向一场文化生态灾难，流行历史的档案流已经枯竭？西蒙·雷诺兹（Simon Reynolds）是他那一代最优秀的音乐作家之一，他认为我们确实已经到达了一个临界点，尽管早期时代也有自己对古代的痴迷--文艺复兴时期对罗马和希腊古典主义的崇拜，哥特式运动对中世纪的呼唤--但从来没有一个社会如此痴迷于自己最近的文化文物。《复古狂热》是第一本审视复古产业并提出这样一个问题的书：这种复古狂热是否为我们自己的任何原创性和独特性敲响了丧钟？
We live in a pop age gone loco for retro and crazy for commemoration. Band re-formations and reunion tours, expanded reissues of classic albums and outtake-crammed box sets, remakes and sequels, tribute albums and mash-ups ...But what happens when we run out of past? Are we heading toward a sort of cultural-ecological catastrophe, where the archival stream of pop history has been exhausted? Simon Reynolds, one of the finest music writers of his generation, argues that we have indeed reached a tipping point and that although earlier eras had their own obsessions with antiquity - the Renaissance with its admiration for Roman and Greek classicism, the Gothic movement's invocations of medievalism - never has there been a society so obsessed with the cultural artifacts of its own immediate past. "Retromania" is the first book to examine the retro industry and ask the question: Is this retromania a death knell for any originality and distinctiveness of our own?
