One of the things that consistently induces strong feelings of nostalgia for me is music. Specifically music from my younger years when I was in school. Whenever I hear songs from the 90s and early 2000s it always reminds me of my youth, but no music has as big of an impact on me as Linkin Park. I first heard their music in 2000 when I was 13 and I listened to them all throughout my teenage years in high school. I still listen to their songs occasionally today and when I do it really takes me back.

What music has the same nostalgia-inducing effect for you?

Clearly, it depends how old one is. But I can get nostalgic feeling even from older music. Right now I am playing Tommy Dorsey orchestra packaged into an old-fashioned white-shell cassette on my cassette deck having needle-type level meters, and somehow the whole thing feels just right.
