datedness
Quality of antiquation
Datedness is the quality of seeming old-fashioned or belonging to an earlier time.
A film's datedness might show in its technology, fashion, or social attitudes: The datedness of the special effects was distracting.
Unlike timelessness, datedness suggests something hasn't aged well or no longer feels relevant.
