I don't get it because it's "old school Americana"^tm^. It's a fucking national company. If you really care about old school americana you would be visiting local diners that have been established for decades, not some incorporated theme park of a restaurant. I can't take anyone serious that's upset about this.

    It’s all the kitschy stuff that gave it a sense if self and without that it’s a crappy chain diner.

    IDK if anyone should be apoplectic over this but I get why some feel a loss due to this change.

    I guess it's even weirder for me because this is the only kind of group that would complain about something like this with all of the people in the scene going crazy over it. If Hot-topic changed it's store appearance, I wouldn't expect to see NOFX coming out making statements. Some people might gripe for nostalgia but they're still selling the same shit and the corporate stores were never the actual true spirit of the scene.

    I think some people look at their local chain diner the way some look at their local mom and pop restaurant and have nostalgic ties to that time/place. Not everyone lives in God’s Land, New Jersey, and has a plethora of actual diners to go to.

    Suppose that could be the case. I live in an area which still has some mom and pop places (or at least are locally owned and operated) but that's being shortsighted in regards to the rest of the American states as I've traveled less in my older years.
