I'm more of an old English guy.

I like my archaeologist friends. Even the lefties are pretty normal. Archaeologists tend to be nerdy dorks who like digging shit up. Most people who want to spend all day deciphering 3000 year old writing and painstakingly figuring out the biographies of a kings and queens who have been dead for centuries don't tend to get swept away in the fads of currentyear.
They can, but it takes years of momentum. It also helps that most modern stuff has been tried multiple times, so we end up recognizing it.
