So, as the 2010s hit their middle years the trend of ‘90s
nostalgia has emerged from a simple curiosity to a full on cultural force. These days our TV, movies, comics, and
games all must live in a world where people are generally nostalgic for the
cultural malaise of the 1990s as signified by the massive success heaped upon
‘90s revivals like Jurassic World as
well as major fan interest in upcoming revivals like Power Rangers. At the
forefront of this cultural redefinition is the X-Files, who will be enjoying a revival of their own in 2016. This is a big moment, the X-Files defined television in the ‘90s
in a big way and are one of the most influential and successful genre shows to
ever broadcast. Even if you don’t
like the show or feel some of its conspiratorial elements are now dated or less
charming there’s no denying that it changed the television landscape over the
course of its 9-season run. I
