young fogies
Youthful old souls
Young fogies are people who affect the tastes, manners, or attitudes of an older generation—dressing conservatively, preferring traditional culture, or holding old-fashioned views despite their youth.
The term plays on "old fogey," suggesting someone prematurely stodgy: The young fogies in tweed jackets debated the merits of vinyl records over brunch.
