Sort of, except I'm not denying any of Doc's criticisms of the boombox or wishing they came back or anything. So I dunno if it's appropriate to consider the positions adversarial. I think it's more like how some people think some shit it Mad Men is stylish without actually wishing for a return of any of that stuff. I mean, there's lots of great old school fashions that look awesome but there are practical considerations that would make it miserable to wish for their return.

Re: aesthetics, what I was referring to was how on some boomboxes you could see the loudspeakers actually move when the sound was loud enough. Very cool stuff, sort of organic. Also, on later models, the LED lighting could be pretty great. And some of the design flourishes on the better models have their moments. The actual weight of boomboxes and all the general problems cassettes brings are obviously terrible, and no one should ever wish for their return.
Yeah, that's my favourite kind of retroactivism. Like giant 30s style looking radios that I can plug my iPod into.
