Welcome to 2012.
2012. Â Time to reset your vantage point based on Back to the Future.
Marty McFly is travelling back in time to 1982 now, three years before the movie was released. Â He is travelling in a … I don’t know… Chevy Volt? Â Doc Brown is incredulous upon hearing the name of the President of the United States. Â The odd thing about the “You know that new sound you’re looking for –” That’s been parodied by The Simpsons … The Family Guy apparently … Hot Tub Time Machine apparently used the same premise for a Black Eyed Peas song played anachronistically.
And, yes, I am finding that the 80s are the new 50s.
In 2042, Marty walks into a retro cafe that plays Lady Gaga ad naseum. Â Hoverboards are still the stuff of sci-fi.
