Retronyms

Constructor's Note
"A new word or phrase coined for an old object or concept whose original name has become used for something else or is no longer unique, or which did not originally have a specific name. "
I ended up with a lot of entries, but included more theme-related entries than I ever have. Do you have a favorite retronym, maybe that didn't appear in the puzzle? Let me know!

        oh fun! It must be in the zeitgeist, I think it came on my radar through The Puzzler podcast last month
      • kurtalert 🤓3:16 · 2024-03-22T18:15:44.625Z
        Lovely. Thanks Sara!
        • angusg 🤓3:16 · 2024-03-22T22:06:38.453Z
          Fun! Maybe a slight clue/answer overlap in 53D? Great puzzle, thanks :)
          • Sara constructor · 2024-03-23T04:24:40.082Z
            you're not wrong! I got too excited about the alliteration and missed that
          • emmie 🤓4:20 · 2024-03-23T02:55:13.814Z
            Very fun!!

              Loved this! Learned a lot from this puzzle haha.

                Loved the theme, and the puzzle! (The only very minor nits I saw were the spelling in 39D and the dupe/overlap in 53D.)
                • Sara constructor · 2024-03-23T16:46:04.021Z
                  I've already addressed 53d, but I disagree with you on 39d; dhal is an accepted spelling in English
                  • Sendhil Revuluri 3:28 · 2024-03-23T23:25:40.646Z
                    Interesting! I’ve never seen it. (It’s always hard with transliterations, especially on this point with the dental and retroflex consonants. (I’m not a native Hindi speaker but similar issues come up in Tamil and Telugu too — even with my name!)

                    Love this puzzle! Been wanting to try to solve this since it came out but put it off for a while.
                    • maddy 8:30 · 2024-03-27T01:12:22.647Z

                        Lots of cool clues here! It really has personality.

                              I didn't know crimping hairstyles were back in, lol. About a month ago I saw a kid wearing JNCO jeans.
