A thing belonging to a period other than that in which it exists (especially something that is conspicuously old-fashioned)

In You Rang M'Lord S01E06, the poetry reading features a reference to lemmings flinging themselves from cliffs, which I initially thought was an anachronism... No, looks like the myth does actually predate the 1958 Disney snuff film.

John Husted (OH Sen) is running lots of Supports the Troops commercials (actually some kind of super PAC but I don't draw a distinction anymore), which seems a little anachronistic. We're not in the midst of a large deployment ground war, no yellow ribbon trunk magnets out there, what's the context?

For a while there was a worry that you couldn’t adapt Neuromancer because the concepts behind it are anachronistic but the counter to that is that science fiction is fake as hell and nobody cares if it looks sick.
