Well, ok, so my math is off. Probably a good reason for me to stay an artist, eh? My parents were 40 when they had me, For those a bit older than me with parents of such age, I can see the situation I described being about right. I still remember listening to Niel Diamond in the car going to day care.

In any case, those things that are nostalgic for the people you grow up with, be that your parents or grandparents, can affect you, because you will be exposed to it as they enjoy their old music or films.

I think culture wide though there will be certain things that are likely to evoke strong moods. Abandoned old things in general will do that when we live in a world of fresh concrete and living cities.
