• Gen Z's nostalgia for the early 2000s is sparking a revival of landline phones, seen as a retro-chic escape from the digital age.

• Influenced by '90s and 2000s TV shows, young adults like Nicole Randone and Sam Casper embrace landlines for their vintage appeal.

• Urban Outfitters capitalizes on Gen Z's love for nostalgia by selling retro items like landline phones alongside fashion trends from the '90s and 2000s.

Can we possibly have a better source for this "story". Because that one's not reliable.

'GenZ is emotionally attached to things from their childhood'. You can replace GenZ with any other generation and it will still work. The stupid article is about mocking one generation to create outrage among others.
