This is really cool. Listening to themes from different places and eras, I can place myself there in my mind. It's like a nostalgia for something I never actually experienced. Is there a word for that?
- dieselerator 4y agoMaybe not exactly nostalgia, but there is a term that serves: déjà vu "The meaning of DÉJÀ VU is the illusion of remembering scenes and events when experienced for the first time."

- iKlsR 4y agoI actually looked it up a while back and there are several words... some seemingly invented recently (there is probably one true german one [1]) but couldn't find a definitive answer. I get the same feeling from the "vaporwave" [2] genre of music or any popular song but paired with the words "slowed and reverb" [3] on youtube.

- LeoPanthera 4y agoIt's apparently a very new word but "Anemoia" means "nostalgia" for something you haven't experienced. Nostalgia in quotes because by definition you can't be nostalgic for something you never experienced.
