Stuck In Time

Not like being trapped in a certain time period, no.

If a franchise is Stuck In Time, elements from an earlier era, such as the 1960s, make an appearance in a later one, like the 2000s. This could be a slang word, mannerism, or object. Being Stuck In Time may be due to how it was traditional for an entity to appear in a place, like an apple being put on a teacher's desk at school by a student, although it is no longer accurate in real life. There are also many roles that are stuck in time, such as the Hippie, Skater, and Surfer, all of whom refuse to stop carrying stereotypes that were once true, but aren't any longer in reality. An example of a stereotype is a Skater who refers to others as "dude" or a surfer who says "surf's up". These are called False-To-Life People.
