I always remember how in the early 80s someone from the Human League supposedly said that in 10-20 years the sound of a guitar would be coded as inherently nostalgic, like the sound of a saxophone solo. He was right as far as it went, but he couldn’t know how different a guitar could eventually sound.

Compared to a keyboard it’s easier to get started on, and $100 will get you a much better guitar than it will a keyboard. You can play it unplugged late at night too.
I don't think of guitar sounds as inherently nostalgic. When I started playing in the noughties there was definitely a widespread reverence to classic bands, but there was also a modern rock sound. Perhaps to the average person it does all sound pretty retro though.
