The world has been stuck in a nostalgia rut since I was a young adult. That’s especially true in the U.S. There have been too many times when I've been on the internet, stumbling upon an endless scroll of click-farming channels with titles like: “Only 90s (or 80s or 70s) babies remember.” Like flies to a bug zapper, these pages full of old commercials, TV show openings, attract vast swaths of internet commenters, who are addicted to reminiscing about the past and agonize over how much nicer the world was back then. The addiction to nostalgia is a very real phenomenon in today’s culture. Every other pop song is just an interpolated sampling of some other more famous song from not that long ago. Hell, Marvel has rebooted Spider-Man’s origin story four times now.
