    I’m 29 and we had a Polaroid at our wedding three years ago. That teenager must’ve been living under a rock.

      In the time period they were referencing Polaroids were at risk of extinction because only one company was making the film at one plant and only through the complaining of hipsters were you able to have Polaroids at your wedding.

      2001 Polaroid went bankrupt. 07-08 cameras and film stopped production.

      2010 a hipster group restarted production.

      2020 new Polaroid cameras are introduced.

      Many younger people only know Polaroids as an icon in a video game or a prop from a music video; they don’t know what they are called.
