What it's saying is that the current generation will never be able to compare with the last
generation. The way the last generation did it, there make-up and such (I'm paraphrasing) has gone
and will not come back.

It's kind of like saying it can never be as good as the original.

Hope that makes sense! (does it?)

Yes that makes sense. Tough idiom to see from the literal, thanks a lot for the help I appreciate
it.
