This is really cool. Listening to themes from different places and eras, I can place myself there in my mind. It's like a nostalgia for something I never actually experienced. Is there a word for that?
It's apparently a very new word but "Anemoia" means "nostalgia" for something you haven't experienced. Nostalgia in quotes because by definition you can't be nostalgic for something you never experienced.
I actually looked it up a while back and there are several words... some seemingly invented recently (there is probably one true german one [1]) but couldn't find a definitive answer. I get the same feeling from the "vaporwave" [2] genre of music or any popular song but paired with the words "slowed and reverb" [3] on youtube.
