People are always nostalgic for eras that were considered trash when they were happening. Why is that?

Does it just keep getting worse or is something else at play?

You have to be extra harsh on new stuff because it might potentially take over and change everything you know and love

Past stuff is harmless since it’s in the past

Everyone prefers what they grew up with

Just natural

narcissism

"Rosy retrospection is a cognitive bias that causes people to remember past events as being more positive than they were in reality. For example, rosy retrospection could cause someone to remember their childhood years as being more joyful than they actually were.

Declinism is the belief that a certain entity, such as a country or a company, is declining, and is potentially headed toward a future collapse. For example, someone who displays declinism might believe that society as a whole is becoming worse and worse every day, even if by their own metrics the situation is actually improving.

Because rosy retrospection causes people to believe that the past was better than it actually was, it can cause the present and future to appear bad in comparison, which is why rosy retrospection can often lead to declinism."

Y’all have to realize that there’s more people in this genre trying to make a hustle more than folks that got into it for the love of it. That’s why we’ll never see another Cole, Kendrick and Drake and why they’re currently at the top
