Nostalgia Ultra

It’s that warm, fuzzy feeling that sneaks up when you hear an old song or remember a childhood memory.

 In this audio documentary, we dive into the complex world of nostalgia. Psychology student Hannah shares how our brains can play tricks on us, while DJ nomie opens up about how Sampha’s “Without” brings back bittersweet memories of moving to London.

We groove through Frank Ocean’s “Nostalgia Ultra,”  and explore how music feels like a time machine. But it’s not all rose-tinted. We explore why Gen Z is so hooked on the past, from 2016 TikToks to cultural throwbacks. And while nostalgia can be comforting, our speakers also warn: don’t get stuck there.
