Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time one did not personally experienceen.wikipedia.org
Believe me 1990s was a nightmarish era in many parts of Europe, 1980s was even worse. Most couldn't afford that CD of Kate Bush in 1980s not to mention a CD player.
Not sure this is really anemoia, but I greatly enjoy listening to the big CD box sets of music from labels like Atlantic that stretch back to the 1940s. Everybody sounds like they are having a lot of fun and the liner notes talking of the Chitlin’ circuit sound exotic.
A lot of that music didn’t really become part of Australian culture (unlike Motown) so the first two decades sound fresh to my ears.
It’s like time travelling, to be transported to a place and time when that music was created. It kinda does make me feel I missed out on something wonderful despite knowing America’s chequered history of race relations.
