yes, a lot of people have tried to pin down the cycle of retro music revitalization. i don't think it's quite as cut and dried as you're claiming, but i'm not exactly sure how you mean. can you give examples?
in general pop culture, especially television, the standard seems to be about 20 years difference examples: happy days set in the 50s televised in the 70s the wonder years set in 68-73 televised from 88-93 that 70s show set in 76-79 televised from 98-06 freaks and geeks set in 80 televised in 99 things aren't quite as clear in electronic music, but it does make sense that in 2008 people are playing a lot of tracks from the late 80s early 90s. also, the pop "80s night" trend of the early 00s has clearly passed.
