We asked Casey Neistat (@casey) about the resurgence of old tech aesthetics, like point-and-shoot cameras, and the desire for authenticity in a digital age.

"My daughter has a flip phone to stay in touch. The minute you introduce a camera, it becomes much more of a social dynamic."

"I think we are quick to ignore the relationship we have with the aesthetics a camera yields (like an old point-and-shoot, skateboard fish eye or DHS)."

"There's this desire to have something that has some sense of identity attached to it, and that's why we're seeing Gen Z types looking for older tech that reflects more of who they are."

"It's a trend I think we're going to see continue."
