My main nostalgia fest is in songs. Currently listening to a playlist I made of songs that take me straight back to certain times. A lot of songs from my late teens, early twenties were recommendations from old pro regulars. Making me nostalgic for them.

old stuff mostly

@3mel that's an answer.

Stetsasonic - Talkin' all that jazz

Memories.

Old photos, especially outdoors.

Cars are pretty good at dating a photo, like the ones at this Sainsbury's supermarket..

yes, yes it is.

I'm bored. Give me more to work with on this chat site.

songs are pretty good for sending you on a little trip but for me smells do it the best.
every once in a while I'll a catch a whiff of the disinfectant used in my primary school days and suddenly I'm back there queuing for lunch or forming an empire in the playground.

also some of the soaps we used in my younger days, pears clear soap or vosene shampoo work well for me.

The problem with things like that is their nostalgic power fades with every re-visit.

Again, cars are a good example of this because a 25yo VW Golf is still a recent sight, due to its lasting popularity - however, it'll have been many years since you saw something quickly forgotten like a 25yo Daewoo Espero, so that car will be more nostalgic.

The trick is to find common old things you've long completely forgotten about.

God only knows...the beach boys was given to me by someone when in my late teens haunts me everytime I Hear It Reminds Me Of Those Great Teen Days! Old Adverts,Holidays Abroad,A 1965 Ford Zodiac I Brought For 300 Immuaclate Condition Wish Id Kept It,

Certain songs, smells. Charlie Red perfume always reminds me of the first time I tried a cigarette and trying to cover up the smell so my mum wouldn't find out

Old PS1 OSTs.

Definitely smells and music

Christmas..

That's better.

I caught a whiff of Joop the other day, took me right back to school when every boy wore it.

Definitely. Something that takes you by surprise but is then entirely familiar.

I was a teen in the late 90s, early 00s but I LOVE God Only Knows.

There's a really old song called The Night Has A Thousand Eyes by Bobby Vee that instantly takes me back to visiting someone in hospital when I was 5. I can remember the wallpaper, the smells and the shoes I was wearing (my new tap shoes) and the sound of them on the floor.

Charlie Red and Impulse the scents of my teens... haha!

I don't know what that means
