The young people in this article seem to think they invented this, but I recall the influence of "dark nostalgia" at least over twenty years ago.

Yes,
I have always liked this "look" I never had a proper name for it,it reminds me of the turn of the century/gothic.I love the facination with "stuffed" animals and bugs!This look has indeed come back!Walking into "The Gold Bug" in Pasadena last summer,I had fits over everything especially the beautifully preserved insects and other worldly jewely and art.
