<p>This year is set to see a 70s revival that goes beyond the resurgence of flares and fringing. But wait &ndash; before you rush out and get that Bay City Rollers hair cut you so desperately loved, know that 2016's trip down memory lane will be more about retro lifestyle habits than fashion fads (although that suede fringing was still going strong on the SS16 catwalks), from what we eat to the holidays we take.  </p><p>Here are the nostalgic trends you can look forward to educating your kids about this year. Catch you on the flip-side...</p><h2>Listening to music on vinyl</h2><p>Last year, sales of vinyl grew faster than any other music format thanks to new generations falling in love with the scratchy quality of LPs. Of course, the music scene will never go back to its 70s heyday, but it&rsquo;s still a great opportunity to dust off that old Doors record and practice your best Jim Morrison moves. </p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="6" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"><div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"><div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAAGFBMVEUiIiI9PT0eHh4gIB4hIBkcHBwcHBwcHBydr+JQAAAACHRSTlMABA4YHyQsM5jtaMwAAADfSURBVDjL7ZVBEgMhCAQBAf//42xcNbpAqakcM0ftUmFAAIBE81IqBJdS3lS6zs3bIpB9WED3YYXFPmHRfT8sgyrCP1x8uEUxLMzNWElFOYCV6mHWWwMzdPEKHlhLw7NWJqkHc4uIZphavDzA2JPzUDsBZziNae2S6owH8xPmX8G7zzgKEOPUoYHvGz1TBCxMkd3kwNVbU0gKHkx+iZILf77IofhrY1nYFnB/lQPb79drWOyJVa/DAvg9B/rLB4cC+Nqgdz/TvBbBnr6GBReqn/nRmDgaQEej7WhonozjF+Y2I/fZou/qAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"> </div></div><p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BCpem9hoaio/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">#TheBeatles #1962to1966 #RedVinyl #2LP #NowPlaying #NowSpinning #NowListening #Record #RecordOfTheDay #Records #RecordCollection #Vinyl #VinylAddict #VinylJunkie #VinylCollection #DropTheNeedle #Album #AlbumArt #AlbumCover #GeorgeHarrison #RingoStarr #PaulMcCartney #JohnLennon #Capitol</a></p><p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A photo posted by Rach Jacob (@rachjacob_) on <time datetime="2016-03-07T10:15:22+00:00" style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;">Mar 7, 2016 at 2:15am PST</time></p></div></blockquote><script async defer src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script><h2>Buying books from an actual shop</h2><p>We really love our Kindle.
