Nostalgia for a time or a place one has never known. Labels: neologism, uncommon, uncountable Example: Yet, from reboots to genre revivals, nostalgia remains a powerful force in pop culture.

Example: Goetzman (who also records his own own^([sic]) original music under the alias Raspberries and Rum) brought up another idea as a possible explanation for his Toto-based virality: anemoia. That’s the concept of a person feeling nostalgic for something they never experienced.[…]What I can say is this little video and its embedded nostalgia — or anemoia — seems to be bringing a little happiness to people all over the world.
