In recent years society has been rocked by crises: pandemics, wars close to home, skyrocketing inflation. To cope with existential insecurity and depression, many people have turned to the music, films and objects they loved as children. What seemed outdated or ironic not long ago, in decoration or in clothing style, can now become a symbol of serenity, a familiar anchor in an estranged world. The passing of time might be the most dreadful thing in the world; at the same time the cyclic nature of life, the reinterpretation of things of the past and the fact that nothing vanishes without a trace might be a source of comfort. But maybe permanence is not a blessing, rather a sign of things never changing.
