What is up with the velour jumpsuit?

I don't count myself among the fashion elite. When you have a standard uniform, you can't be the one to point fingers. But can someone explain to me why, suddenly, the velour jumpsuit is back? Everywhere I turn, I see women (and, yes, men) wearing these godawful things. Didn't we burn all the velour after the 70s? Didn't we learn that jumpsuits are not flattering, not on any form? Didn't we learn our lesson? Then why, why is the velour jumpsuit back?
