    MySpace is out of date and some types of music depending on who you talk to. Your post makes me think!

  4. Steve says:

    I was enjoying this until number 12… One pair of Doc’s will last a lifetime, so… they’re never out of date! Let’s change #12 to “Galoshes”… btw – Love ur ministry and blog!

  5. I would take a few things off the list. Business Cards, and Radio Stations chief among them.

  6. Mark says:

    Radio & Feauxhawks are not out of date yet and neither are church bulletins even though I can see how the hipsters in Catalyst might think so. Check out this recent image from a NYT article of lots of young people using what… bulletins.

    Many of your other selections are correct.

    Jump Drives – No need with the cloud!

  8. Ryne says:

    I love the list, except #6 is sort of a law here in Illinois.

  9. Tom Martin says:

    Answering Machines
    Multi-disc CD changers
    Movie Rental Stores
    Notepads

    are a few that came to mind!

    Trust fall!? Say it ain’t so Brad! We can’t let this happen. Camp kids across the country NEED the trust fall.

    Great post!

    revivals
    leather bound bibles
    “Sunday Suits”

  12. Sarah W says:

    was Nickelback ever cool?

    And for the ladies I can say topsy tail ponytails are out of date…

  13. Aaron says:

    Can we add the deep V-neck, affliction shirts, and True religion jeans yet? How about resumes, corporate culture, commuting and “management”….

  14. Linnae says:

    Hilarious. I will say that in Texas we have to have front bumper plates. We are cool like that.

  15. Megan says:

    Pennies, trust falls, newspapers, radio stations, church bulletins – how do you even decide these things are out of date?

  16. Jane says:

    Please add #24. bradlomenick.com

    No, for real. How can money be out of date? Kids save up pennies for years for their dream bicycles. You’re squashing the dreams of the next generation!
