I don't know if it's because this year has loving sucked or if it's just something that happens when people reach a certain age but lately I've been main-lining trips into childhood and seeking out things buried deep in the recesses of my memory. This things make me feel sad and happy at the same time. There's something about these cartoon theme songs that I find really haunting. I was probably about 3-4 when this stuff imprinted on me, so maybe it was just that these were the most exciting and visually interesting things I'd seen at the time. I can barely remember anything from that age but this stuff I knew word for word over three decades later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGOMnE26jNo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ki99YBVKyw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ4c1X5ene8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiqkwPJTJko

*watches James Bond*... okay sexist sex puns check. Oh Bond no no don't disguise yourself as Japanese noooooooo don't do that! As far as cartoon nostalgia goes I sometimes try to watch Thundercats but stop when I get to the Ro-Bear Berbil.

80s theme tunes were just the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJkmY8CuE_g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVonyVSQoM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6ragUeIkKA Blue Thunder's seems like it'll be cool for a few seconds but turns out to be crap. So really appropriate for the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lx_a-h9lspo

Rock My Socks! posted:you got your rear end kicked by child furries wearing their pants backwards? No they wore stuff that had pictures like this on it, like there's a whole line of gangbanger looney toons that all the "hard" kids wore. Also yes they were furries.

Spartakus, Mysterious Cities of Gold, and Belle and Sebastian were so endlessly fascinating to me that they were basically the only shows that could be on that would keep me from just watching my tapes of the Goonies or Ghostbusters over and over. French-Japanese animation collaborations are clearly something that need to return. Here is where I find our they are not French-Japanese Spinz posted:Sweet

It's because the year has sucked, OP. They did a study and found a lot of people are now retreating into a childlike state and listening to the lovely music of their youth for comfort amidst uncertain times.

the 90s were an extremely awful decade, probably even worse than the 80s. but not as bad as the 2000s.

Beginning of the year I had a super nostalgic phase where I kinda revisited my teenage years. One memory that I have is playing ragnarok online, one of the first mainstream MMORPGS, so I played on a private server for a few days and had a great time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DuvYC3zENI&t=33s That game was very simple but still I spent hours in it.

I mostly like older stuff. But I was watching Universal Horrors and Godzillas in the 80s and listening to 60-70s rock in the early 90s. I've never really cared if it's new or old. Long as its good, cheap, or interesting. (Generally ya pick 2.) But what game came in the mail yesterday for my Colecovision?  Frogger on a Wednesday my dude(tte)s? Yes.  and some Spy Hunter while I'm there. On an early 00s 19 inch rf only crt I've had laying around no less. Course later in the day I remade my Gamecube PSO 1-2 character into PSO2 so its also semi nostalgia?  And should I mention when I did some errands I was listening to a podcast about Robotech? Vvvv I tried going back to that one a few years back. It doesn't hold up at all. Vvvv Captain Rufus fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Aug 13, 2020 |

Since we live in a soup of readily available culture from the 50's onwards, anyone of any age can have nostalgia for a time the didn't belong to. For instance I have a love of the 70's despite the fact that I was born only at the very end of the 70's. I like the fashion, the media, the aesthetics and the culture of that time. Also the 70's were in many ways much more culturally significant in many ways than people give it credit for, especially in North America. It was a time when the dreams of the 50's and 60's were starting to die. Also, gotta love those dark wood and brick tones on everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JUDBJkeFNY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX09Ab-tzwM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-uTJASvEUY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKrzc_nzqyw One of my hometown in '78 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FYY7a_BUH0

One good thing about the past was that nostalgia was considered a sickness, not a popular entertainment. There's a reason it sounds like neuralgia. To be fair this was when the main childhood entertainments were killing rats with a stick, polio, and church.

One of the things I miss is the hopelessly naive overlook on how scientific progress and technology will help us overcome inequalities and common health/financial/social issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qECkG3c8y8I I'm p sure nobody seriously thinks nowadays that things are getting better and technology will be used for benefit of the common folk.
