Celebrities on magazines, what's playing on TV, an advertisement on the radio or newspaper headline. Popular media is always a good indicator of a period in time. There's a cumulative effect to the little details and gradually your readers will understand that the universe they're immersing themselves in isn't set in the present day. No need to tell them because they'll figure it out for themselves. Most readers are smarter than New York editors give them credit for. Good luck with your literary endeavors...
