I'm an old soul, but if I was bound to live through this time period I would have preferred to be born just a few years earlier. I think I enjoy old media that isn't the classics more than most but don't think it's good to get caught up in the cobwebs of history. The past is a different world, and it's expensive to live anywhere but the present. I love retro-style artifacts, but you have to accept when a movement is a spent cultural force and has become camp. I think there are always people born outside of their time. Growing up with a father for whom military service was the defining moment of his life didn't help. I think you miss 90s optimism the most.

I definitely consider myself an old soul too! I think that maybe 90s optimism is a big part of that (because everyone tends to be so pessimistic these days and a lot of that 90s optimism leaked into the 2000s as well), but I just feel like there was a certain charm that can be felt when consuming older media, but that's just me personally! It can bealmost addicting...but I will try to think less in this way, for it will only drive me insane in the end, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say!
