* The PostPunk revival scene of the 2000s, led by bands like Music/TheWhiteStripes, Music/TheStrokes, and Music/TheHives, was a throwback to '60s GarageRock, embracing [[ThreeChordsAndTheTruth stripped-down, old-school guitar rock influences]] as a backlash against the dominance of NuMetal in the US and post-{{Britpop}} in the UK.

* ''Series/Warrior2019'' was developed from an old pitch by Creator/BruceLee for a show he wanted to make, but never got to, and as such, feels very much like a throwback to the sorts of martial arts movies Lee was making in the '60s and early '70s. There are also quite a few nods (of varying degrees of subtlety) to Bruce Lee's movies, and the hero, Ah Sam, is essentially a BruceLeeClone.

* For the the NBA's 75th annversary game, ESPN had each quarter of the Nets vs. Knicks (also referred to their full name of Knickerbockers throughout the night) pay homage to the 60's, 70's 80's and the 90's with coresponding broadcast looks. ESPN broke out its 80's logo for first half, had the commentators also wearing the iconic yellow ABC Sports blazers and even sponsor State Farm using its pre-2012 logo all throughout. The 60's started out in DeliberateMonochrome before being lightly colored as it ended, the 70's retained the warm color filter with simple orange text, the 80's drawing from CBS's sport package and the 90's paying homage to NBC's coverage complete with usage of "Roundball Rock".
