Remember When? A Nostalgic Look at Nostalgia

“Hey Siri, play Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls”

Ever find yourself missing a moment that’s already gone? That weird ache when a song, a smell, or an old photo suddenly drops you straight back into another version of your life?

Welcome to a conversation about nostalgia that sweet, slightly suspicious feeling that the past was somehow better even when it definitely wasn’t. Like how now a Super K*Mart can be made into being a bigger deal than it really is by simple 20 second YouTube video mixed to a video game theme.

We’ll be asking questions like:
• Are we remembering the past, or just editing it?
• Why do we sometimes miss things we didn’t even enjoy at the time?
• And why does it feel like if the whole world could just disappear for a minute, we might finally understand what we’ve been feeling all along?

Expect a relaxed, slightly philosophical, slightly sarcastic conversation about memory, time, identity, and the strange human tendency to romanticize the “good old days.”

Bring your stories, your questionable memories, and maybe that one song that always sends you spiraling into the past.

Because nostalgia ain’t what it used to be.
