Do you remember when nine years old Christmas said, "Last summer mama gave me the flashlight to signal the aliens"? While the taste of nostalgia may not be for everyone, those who do enjoy it can find this vibe to be a heartwarming and pleasant experience.
In summary, nostalgia may have a reputation as “the rust of one’s memory,” it can actually be a positive thing that brings people together, a force that inspires happiness, creativity, and offers valuable life lessons. It can offer messages of self-acceptance and overcoming obstacles. Modern entertainment has done an excellent job of tapping into this emotion. So did “Troop Zero” movie and music composed by Rob Lord. The directing duo Bert & Bertie called the score, “Epic, cosmic yet playful.”
