Retroactive Nostalgia In Music And Media

Have you ever heard a song for the first time but felt like it transported you back to childhood? This video explores the phenomenon of retroactive nostalgia—when newly encountered music, especially pop-R&B tracks from the mid-to-late 2000s, evokes memories of the past due to stylistic similarities. While this feeling is more common with music than with TV or movies, sequels to beloved childhood series can create a similar effect. Join the video as it unpacks how our brains connect new experiences to familiar sounds and vibes, making the present feel like a piece of the past.
