The entertainment industry has caught a millennium bug(千年虫). Arriving in cinemas in November is “Focker-in-Law”, the latest follow-up(续集；后续作品) to “Meet the Parents” (2000), in which Ben Stiller struggled with his girlfriend’s difficult dad. (In the new film Mr Stiller, now 60, plays the father.) No Doubt, whose hits in the 1990s included “Just a Girl”, recently finished a comeback residency(驻场演出) at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Meanwhile home audiences can look forward to reboot(重启（作品）)s including “The Inbetweeners”, a popular television series from 2008, and “Tomb Raider”, a classic game of the 1990s that will be re-released in souped-up(强化升级的) form in February 2027.
娱乐产业染上了“千年虫”。11月将登陆院线的是《Focker-in-Law》，即《拜见岳父大人》（2000）的最新续集，原片中本·斯蒂勒与女友难缠的父亲斗智斗勇。（新片中，如今60岁的斯蒂勒改演父亲一角。）No Doubt乐队1990年代的金曲包括《Just a Girl》，最近刚在拉斯维加斯Sphere场馆完成复出驻场演出。与此同时，家庭观众可以期待多部重启作品，包括2008年热门剧集《中间人》，以及1990年代经典游戏《古墓丽影》——它将于2027年2月以强化版形式重新发行。
Millennial culture is back, faster than you can say(快得来不及说……) “oat-milk latte”. Millennials, who are now aged 30-45, are nearing the peak of their spending power—and entering management-level jobs where they can call the shots(说了算；做主) on new creative projects. The result is that their formative(形成性格的；塑造期的) era, the late 1990s and 2000s, is back in fashion. It may seem like only yesterday that millennials were being mercilessly(无情地；毫不留情地) mocked by Gen Z on social media over everything from their grey home interior(室内（设计）)s to their too-tight trousers. But now they are taking their revenge. “The 2000s called—skinny jeans are back,” declared Vogue(《Vogue》时尚杂志), a fashion bible, earlier this year.
千禧一代文化回归了，快得让你来不及说一句“燕麦奶拿铁”。千禧一代如今30到45岁，正接近消费力的顶峰，并进入管理层，能在新的创意项目上说了算。结果是，他们成长的时代——1990年代末和2000年代——重新流行起来。似乎就在昨天，千禧一代还在社交媒体上被Z世代无情嘲笑，从灰色的家居内饰到过紧的裤子，无一幸免。但如今他们开始复仇了。“2000年代来电——紧身牛仔裤回来了，”时尚圣经《Vogue》今年早些时候宣称。
Every generation has its revival(复兴；回潮), as its members grow up and recreate the culture of their youth. The 1990s saw a 1970s resurgence(复苏；再起), as middle-aged boomer(婴儿潮一代)s made nostalgic(怀旧的) films such as “The Brady Bunch Movie” and “Dazed and Confused”. Before that there was an outbreak of(（某事物的）爆发) ’50s nostalgia in the 1970s, with shows like “Happy Days”, “M*A*S*H” and the movie “Grease”. A series of 1950s rock’n’roll revival concerts brought back stars like Chuck Berry and Bill Haley & His Comets, filling venues such as Madison Square Garden(麦迪逊广场花园).
每一代人都有自己的复兴，随着其成员长大成人，他们会重现自己年轻时的文化。1990年代出现了1970年代的回潮，中年婴儿潮一代拍摄了《脱线家族》和《年少轻狂》等怀旧电影。再往前，1970年代爆发过一股1950年代怀旧热，涌现出《欢乐时光》《陆军野战医院》等剧集和电影《油脂》。一系列1950年代摇滚复兴演唱会请回了查克·贝里、比尔·哈利与他的彗星乐队等明星，让麦迪逊广场花园等场馆座无虚席。
