I’ve started to really like just mustard and sauerkraut on my hotdogs and racing games over FPS because they’re a little slower paced.

    Smooth Jazz and 80s music. I had to work real hard to like vegetables. It’s an ongoing saga. But one day smooth jazz and 80s music just hit me, and woke something up deep in my spinal column. It’s purely nostalgia, and the initial delivery method was probably Spotify being very liberal with recommendations based on vaporwave and synthwave stuff. But synth and sax and all the stuff I used to find tacky and irritating as a child just made me feel at home. The word nostalgia gets abused these days but my sudden appreciation for the sounds of my childhood and the way they consistently make me feel like I’m nestled snug into the beige carpet of a Huber home, just existing without a care in the world…that’s some deep nostalgia. And it’s also nice to mentally congratulate myself on evolving to appreciate stuff I was too snobby or dense or whatever to like growing up.

      This exact combo of genres hit me like a truck within the past two months or so. I used to not care much for Jazz at all and now it’s been nothing but jazz and 80s inspired synth/vapor wave. I think it probably is for similar reasons. Hearing certain combinations of synth or certain jazzy combos really transports me back in time to specific eras of my child and young adulthood.
