Like it or not, in 2022 we're swamped by nostalgia. Whether it's the Hollywood prequels, sequels and reboots such as Top Gun, Scream and Jurassic Park, or the fact that one of the biggest discernible fashion trends in 2022 is 'indie sleaze' — a look which has barely been gone for a decade — it's hard to escape. Today on Schmeitgeist, why does almost everything in this allegedly unprecedented moment feel so familiar?
