What do you call music/videos/stuff you suddenly remember after years of not thinking about it? (lemmy.world)

Who doesn't know the feeling? Something brings back the memory of a song you haven't heard since 2009. Back then it was playing on TV all the time. You look it up on YouTube. It totally has those 2000s vibes. All the comments are also "omgz I just remembered this song after 15 years !!".

What even is the name for this phenomenon? Is there a community to share this stuff?

I think you're right. I associated nostalgia with stuff from before I was born but nope, I'm just getting old.

Yeah kids don’t experience nostalgia. in fact, kids haven’t experienced most of the interesting things in life.

This is why it’s suck a travesty we have kids read all this great literature in high school. It goes in one ear and out the other, and then they think they’ve “read it”.

Any adult who’s been struggling to stay housed and working should go back and re-read The Grapes of Wrath. Anyone having a midlife crisis should go back and read The Winter of our Discontent.

These books are absolutely wasted in people whose entire lives to date have been cutting shapes out of construction paper to make collages.
