My daughter started asking to use my old digital cameras about 3 or 4 years ago, the ones from the early 2000s.
"Why would you want to use those?" I asked her. "Your phone's camera is way better."
She said she liked "the look" (of the photos) and mentioned that some people she followed on Instagram used them. Turns out there's a universe of retro photo accounts using film, old digital cameras, and old video cameras.

There are also accounts featuring resurrected media from those eras. It looks mundane to me, but triggers some fond nostalgia (see https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/03/style/art-school-instagra...) even for people who didn't live through those eras.
