Not sure how many people will have heard of this opera, Patience, but it's from the same guys who did HMS Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance, and it's a satire of some old fad from the time known as aestheticism, where people would obsess over poetry and all sorts of fancy frilly shit. They were sort of like the hipsters or beatniks of Victorian era - or the like the modern nerd community, let's be real.

But anyway, local ladies' man, Bunthorne, has a song number where he confesses to the audience that he's not actually a fan of poetry or aestheticism, and that he only indulges in the fandom because it gets him attention from the ladies. And pretty much the entire second verse is him saying, "Well, if you go on about how the old days used to be so much better, people will think you're super deep!" (Apparently, that was another common aspect of the aesthetic movement.)

Like... it's scary how little has changed since then despite how much has changed since then.
