*chan user since 2005 here (was hilariously underage back then)
one thing I've noticed over the several decades of my life is that old-school revivals never really capture what things were like way back when
that's just the nature of it

this place still feels more like how things were than anywhere else I've visited in a long time though, regardless of things seeming bit fake and pining to reestablish the glory days
fake it until you make it ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
