English term or phrase: anachronism
Not so long ago, barbershops were going extinct. They were an anachronism, an institution that fell somewhere between the post service and the video store on the scale of Overall Usefulness to Modern Life. Our fathers would have the last generation to cycle through the pole-marked doors, and that would be that.
