#WritersCoffeeClub Day 5: What's a no-longer popular trend in writing you'd like to see make a comeback?

@juergen_hubert @ZDL@gamerplus.org You think fashion hasn't changed in Japan or Korea or China or Vietnam or India or .... over the centuries?
Most people *don't* wear, say, Tang-era clothing here. It's just that wearing it isn't viewed as all that weird. It's something I'll see on the subway two or three times a week (usually on women, to be fair) without anybody even giving a second glance (unless the woman is shapely, natch).

I am sorry, but I ultimately have to disagree with your perspective here.
It is up to the people of a certain culture how to celebrate their history. And I have traveled all across Germany, and everywhere I have found examples of Germans celebrating and preserving their history - by preserving old buildings, establishing museums, giving guided tours, recreating old crafts, or should putting up some explanatory signs at historically significant locations. This is the work of thousands of non-government associations and innumerable volunteers.
And that kind of appreciation of history is just as valid as wearing clothing styles of past centuries or reciting old poems.
