    This is going to be hard to hear, but:

    Bryan Adams released "Summer of '69" in 1985. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2010.

    @jsr I mean… right now, I very much want 2010–2015 back. Those few precious years were we thought intolerance was dead. No Trump in the White House, no Ukraine War; Germany, France, and UK didn't have neonazi parties dominating the elections, trans rights were making unprecedented progress and the massive misinformation campaigns weren't yet on the horizon, we got Obergefell v Hodges, Musk was just a cunt with a car company and GPTs were still cool nerd stuff and not world-destroying climate crisis engines yet…

    Life was good in 2010, compared to today. I'd listen to a 2010 nostalgia song.

      @jsr That is right; anyone who knows who Bryan Adams is probably has problem hearing most stuff these days.

          @jsr Happy Days first aired in 1974 and depicted life in 1955.

          If it were made in 2026, it would be set in 2007.

                @jsr similarly, Bowling for Soup's "1985" (released 2004) would now be about the far off year of 2007

                      Miley Cyrus released "Party in the U.S.A." in 2009, ten years after the first Britney song came on the radio. A similar nostalgia-based song released now would be harkening back to the distant and bygone year of 2016.

                            @TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr 2010 was definitely memorable for me.

                            Was organising an international convention and less than 24h before it started that bastard unpronounceable volcano shut down all of Europe’s airspace.

                            Fuck 2010.

                                  @jsr Adams himself said in an interview on tv that the song is about a very special love experience.

                                          @jsr Adams himself said in an interview on tv that the song is about a very special love experience.

                                          @realSiegfried not his own experience.

                                          Bryan was 10 years old in 1969, living in Beruit where his British father was a military attaché.

                                          His agent and rock promoter Bruce Allen had matched Bryan up with a lyricist who was a decade older. He has said in interviews after he was free of that contractual relationship that he wasn’t always comfortable justifying songs that weren’t within his own experience.
