&gt; More seriously though, I&#x27;ve always assumed that the antiques market is driven by nostalgia and longing for the past. The younger generation today seems to have very low levels of nostalgia and longing for the past.<p>As a 31-year-old Millennial, I can tell you that nostalgia and longing for the past is very much alive and well among my peers.<p>It&#x27;s just that all our nostalgia is concentrated on the &#x27;80s and &#x27;90s (probably more the first half of the &#x27;90s than anything else, but there&#x27;s still some &#x27;80s and late &#x27;90s nostalgia mixed in there), and antique furniture is probably the very last thing you think of when you think of those decades.
