Nope. “Decades” here is roughly 25 years. I picked one up in middle school because I was going through a “retro” phase. I no long where vintage shop fedoras (I still maintain they are cool though), but I never went back once I started writing with a fountain pen. I started with this neat looking waterman they sold in the gifts section of Office Depot. I still write mostly waterman Florida Blue Ink… I was in that 50/50 era of laptop use v. hand writing in high school and even in college people mostly seemed to start on paper before typing final copies up in Word. That might be a contributing factor. I can’t think and organize without a pen in hand . Closest I’ve come is the Remarkable tablet - but I still find myself using a real fountain pen daily.
ah ok. Here in Germany it was (and I think still is) common to learn/be required to write with one in elementary school, so having on at kid age is normal, including the occasional mess...
