Is there a word for not being able to recognise an out of date trend because you’re so out of touch you didn’t even know it was a trend before it turned cheugy?

I can’t help but wonder if it is related to chooch, which has had a bit of a resurgence over the past few months. It has some similar connotations of being out of touch. If that is the origin it would trace back to Italian.
