post nostalgia wallpapers

Does it ever bother anyone that you'll never get to experience any of the settings that are in these photos?

I can't really even fathom it. I mean, the only way we know any of this existed is from second and third hand accounts. We can never go to any of these places or times. You'll never get to experience what NYC was like in the height of the 20s. Go to a drive in, or feel all the tension and apprehension for people during the Vietnam War.
Fuck, no one living will ever know what Rome looked like during it's peak.

All we have of the past are photos and shitty interpetations.
You can't even go back and feel what it's like to be happy again.

Seriously, fuck time.

I need to become 4th dimensional.

there's a word in spanish or portuguese or something for this: saudade. nostalgia for a place you've never been.

>>6614265
There's another term for that, déjà vu

>>6614441
that's not the same at all

>>6614265
to be honest "saudades" is when you miss something, not specifically somewhere you've never been

>>6614265
can we get this in 1920x1080?

>>6614441

Jamais Vu is what you are looking for, by the by.
Thanks Ground Zeroes.

Thats not the same thing.
As a graphic designer, I'm really familiar with the term.

Jamais Vu is when shit get's weird after you've experienced it.
Like staring at a word too long and it loses it's meaning.

I do that shit all the time when I'm designing with typography. It's annoying as all hell.
