I miss the nineties (sigh). For some very strange reason finals season makes me particularly nostalgic. I’m not sure if it’s the added stress, intimidating time constraints or mountains of work, but whatever it is I feel a remarkable urge to escape the present and relive my past. This feeling often takes the form of listening to past musical loves. Take today for instance; in addition to studying my butt off I spent the day listening to the Spice Girls, O-Town and Britney Spears. Guilty pleasures, yes, but former loves as well.
It’s very interesting how deeply people can care about a particular sport, or band, or author and come back to that love years later, still loving it or loving it even more. Is this part of fan culture, or is this something deeper? What are some of your nostalgic loves? Why do you think there are some things we simply love forever?
