I agree, but that's for a very aged group of adults (over 60s).  Mimeographing, the blue stencil paper, and the smell of the fluid was pretty much gone by the beginning of the 1970s, replaced by copy machines.

I would say it would be whatever music they had at that time — which is why 'Oldies Stations' playing the music of the '60s. '70s. and '80s are still a thing.
Might also be manual typewriters.
Or the polished and varnished scent of the gym during phy-ed class.
Or the times you got to first base and tried to stretch it into a double.
