Back in the 50's and early 60's there were 4 things you did not do unless you were inbred white trash.
1 - Live in a log cabin
2 - listen to "country" music
3 - shoot muzzle loaders (had to throw that in, it IS a gun forum    )
4 - go to car races
The reason was that it had not been that long since people had no choice but to do at least 3 of those things because they had no other options

Make it all four. Remember NASCAR started as a bootleggers way to show off their cars.

Nothing like putting a roundy-round driver in the passenger seat of a Touring car to remind me of taking my daughters out driving for the first time

Now that we've had a couple generations that did not have to scrape for survival all that "back to basics" stuff has become "retro", it's now "nostalgia" and no longer an indicator of the poverty most were trying really hard to forget.
As an example, my Dad grew up during the Depression, for 50 years he refused to eat corn chowder, to him that was "desperation food".

Yeah well you cant blame a fella for that, its like vomit in a can.
Personally I cant stand the smell of boiled cabbage, it makes me dry reach thinking about it.

People may have forgot about scraping for survival, but its coming to a country near you again real quick!

I've said elsewhere:

The 'World' is a vicious, snarling beast.  We have managed to keep most of it at bay behind a thin wall of technology and society.  But it is still out there, waiting.
