Yes. I understand that and I'm well aware of what you're describing, that is why I said I try not to let my nostalgia get the better of me.

I'm saying I enjoy this aesthetic mainly for nostalgic reasons. I am not necessarily saying this is superior to current aesthetics. I do miss this era, yes, and you are correct that is more about me than the aesthetic itself.

That doesn't mean this isn't beautiful or pleasant in some way, and I don't think it's wrong to enjoy or explore older aesthetics even if it's out of nostalgia.

I realize the way my comment was worded made it seem like a comment about the era rather than the aesthetic.

Edit: contradicted myself there. Sorry, it's kinda hard to get a consistent thought out on mobile.
