Novelty and Nostalgia


Nostalgia Bad days are a common thing to have in human lives that have limited daily experiences. Familiar and comforting fragrances, sounds, and flavours often trigger a nostalgia trip that can alleviate the effects such days can have on you. Smell these fragrances often enough, hear these sounds daily and taste these tastes frequently - they will become a part of the very routine we loathe. Vaporwave is now "normal" music. I imagine there will come a time when retro clothing will be blasé. Novelty Can't the same be said for newly acquired wants like sports cars? Also, new relationships that eventually go on to lose their spark? Like Andy from the office said, 'I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.' I don't have an answer to Andy's conundrum. But, if your experiences are collectively large in number, there is always a way you can selectively relive them without losing their novelty (novelties?)
