England's Dragonforce is a perfect example although their second album, Sonic Firestorm, is a 2004 release, it might as well have been recorded in 1981. And in heavy metal, a similar mentality exists in the power metal revival movement the '90s and early 2000s saw the rise of many young power metallers who look and sound like they belong in the '70s or '80s. One term that is used quite a bit in jazz circles these days is "Young Lions," which refers to young jazz musicians whose work is a throwback to the straight-ahead acoustic jazz of the '40s, '50s, and '60s - a "Young Lion" might have started recording in the '80s, '90s, or 2000s, but stylistically, they are quite committed to the jazz of previous generations.
