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.
Smashing Pumpkins released their song "1979" in January 23, 1996

@jsr in 1969 Bryan Adams was 10. Twas all a lie anyway
@bleistifterin @jsr
That must have been some band, one lad, who must have been held back in primary school, off getting married and a 10 year old who used go to a lot of drive in movies, his bloody little fingers on the steering wheel. -

@jsr Wait, what? No, that definitely can't be right.

@jsr Marty McFly’s 1955 would be 1996.

@Tubemeister @TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr I landed at ORK Ireland the day before and remember spending a bit of each night for 2 weeks worrying about how I would get home.
The countryside was so lush and green that March.
@ellie @TheDutchChief @Keab42 @Flamekebab @jsr Yeah. We had guests from Australia get stuck in England, one hop away from Amsterdam. And guests who had made it wondering how to get back home.
One person from Finland bought a cheap used car and drove, via Tallinn. Lots of impromptu adventures.
And about a quarter of the guests not making it to the event. That sort of thing tends to stick in your head.

@NotTheLBCGuy
Gone with the Wind's 1865 would be 1952.
@jsr@NotTheLBCGuy
Maybe more to the point The Birth of a Nation's 1865 would be 1976.

@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 it was Summer of Sex Number, though, as much as it was about the particular year, or at least Adams was willing to express shtick to that effect:
"Adams found the title intriguing;[13] although it suggests a specific timeframe, he asserted that the number was a metaphor for coming of age rather than a strictly personal timeline.[14] Adams later revealed that the number 69 was also intended as a sexual double entendre."

@jsr
I was watching the first men landing on the moon, on TV, in 1969. One of my earliest memories.2010 was like yesterday!
No, hang on, we had Covid. Errr.... so... like the day before yesterday. -
