This is such a beautiful description of the nostalgia elicited by late 80's/early 90's television for those of us who grew up during those years. No doubt older and younger generations will be able to relate as well (I'm always shocked by how dated video from the early 00's looks).
I was surprised there was no mention of Vapor Wave, a genre whose sole purpose seems to be to deliberately extract, amplify and hammer on the "punctum" effect of archived broadcasts from that era.
Wonderful! Any articles with that much Toni get top scores from me. I have definitely had many happy-sad nostalgia sessions on YouTube, just as the author describes.
I need to check out Vapor Wave - never heard of it. Where should I start?
“Yo Quiero Taco Bell” is, indeed, a blast from the past.

Oh man, so much to explore! Also I need to find a good Vapor Wave article.
