Fires Burnt Anew: Why I Love the Band Weezer

Phish has inherited the legacy of the Grateful Dead. A responsibility that includes: playing a different set every night, constant jamming and experimenting. Phish is trailed across the country by adoring fans that think their heroes can do no wrong. What makes them so special is that their music winds together. It is full of freedom and happiness. Their lyrics are totally original; they have this weird way of looking at the world and when they express this in their songs it takes you to a whole different level of thinking.

Chuck Klosterman, in the article “Nostalgia on Repeat,” there is two sides of nostalgia, how it can be good and bad for you. Klosterman, gives examples from both sides. Memories are the past, it is ok to remember them and think about them, maybe even smile from them, just don’t live there. Looking at the past can hinder growth, if a person cannot move on from it and wants to keep reliving that part of their life. The Authors purpose is to shine light on both sides of nostalgia, it is not all bad to remember the past and even flash back to it. However, trying to relive the past is not all good either. It stunts growth and keeps a person from living their life in the now. Chuck Klosterman, writes in a casual tone for those readers that are too

“I didn’t think the Twinkie would thrill the way it used to, and it didn’t. But it tasted like memory” In this quote from “Goodbye to My Twinkie Days”, author Bich Minh Nguyen, is describing a sense of nostalgia. Nostalgia, as defined by the Cambridge English dictionary, is a feeling of pleasure and sometimes slight sadness at the same time as an individual thinks about things that happened in the past. This feeling can be evoked through old photographs, food, music, and even literature. Nostalgia provides a temporary relief of present times, which is why people actively seek a feeling of nostalgia.

I spent the first ten years of my life, roughly, homeschooled and constantly around both my parents. During this time, I had no choice but to listen to whatever music they enjoyed playing drying the day, whether it was Seal in the car or Melissa Etheridge on the home stereo. Once I had struck my preteens, and with the help of my then high-school aged sisters, I was introduced to punk rock and hard rock genres of music. This became a new addiction for me; it felt rebellious, cool, in style and new. Eventually, it felt very repetitive and it seemed as if everyone was trying to emulate the same sound. So, after a short time, I began searching for music on my own. I bought Coldplay and Vampire Weekend albums, and was on the lookout for music with a more sophisticated feeling than what I had been listening to previously. I was then hopelessly addicted to music that I was discovering, and was proud to say I found my own style of music to listen to. After I received Coldplay’s album, “A Rush of Blood to the Head” as a Christmas gift, I would play it daily to

Memory provides a sense of personal identity. Memories that were made from the past create the person that they have become today. It helps to ground judgments and with reasoning. As an illustration, one day a young girl was shopping at the mall with a group of friends and they deiced to steal a cute

Nostalgia lives in our veins, we breath and vision it all the time. Nostalgia was a disease throughout the early 1700’s, was coined with a mixture of Greek words of returning home and pain: Throughout the war, nostalgic were affecting the troops over the scale of homesick to perform their duties and the only option to recover the troop was by sending them back home. Now nostalgia has influenced modern day as generations expresses time back at their “good old days”, wishing that they could flashback. Nostalgic has even swayed the media perceptive as recreating their old films or shows in the new modern days to fill the gap of their childhood, and showing their children their favorite shows on television when they were a kid.

EWBAITE is less a return to form and more a “sum-of-all-parts” record, successfully touching on their entire discography. From the crunchy garage-rock of their first self-titled albums to the rockin’ solos of Maladroit and, yes, even the unfortunate cheese of Raditude, it’s all here it in the band’s attempt at a definitive 41 minutes of rock music. Technically, Weezer isn’t “back” because, well, they never left.

False Promises (Poem based in the discography of linkin park) The messenger of our lives is talking; The faint thoughts are pushing And screaming from the inside loudly. Don’t stay watching my pain With you I will never go that way.

1. While James Lampinen, a professor of Psychology from the University of Arkansas. He defines that Deja Vu is the strong feeling about the global similiarities thet occur in the new situation.

To relate the topic of nostalgia with food to my life, I recall a cherished memory I have about making enchiladas with my grandma when I was nine. My mom’s father is hispanic, but her mother is not, so she learned how to make hispanic food just for him. I have always admired this, because she learned how to do this just to make my grandpa happy. She made us many hispanic dishes, but my favorite is still her enchiladas. I still remember the smell of the chicken and beef that my grandma had prepared

Admittedly, this is me romanticizing a bit. Well, not a bit, a lot. I long for the times of the past, not so much so that I travel to that time (maybe in my dreams, but not in reality), like Owen Wilson's character in Woody Allen’s Magic in the Moonlight (though, compared to me, I’d say the dear man had a mild case of nostalgia, while I have a severe and

People who are nostalgic about childhood, were obviously never children. Few people can remember the truth about adolescence. Their minds "censor" their memories; and have them believe that being a teenager was was one big party, free of cares and responsibilities. Well let me say this, you couldnOt be more wrong if you had a lobotomy. There aren't that many adults around who realise what adolescence was really like. The anguish, the fear, the anxiety, the stress. People don't remember those problems because they want to forget them.

No improvements from which it can build upon, no history to look back on, no foundation of trust or understanding. What makes the idea of nostalgic advertisements so beautiful is that they employee all of these things to ensure that the customer will have an enjoyable experience with the product or service. Companies with good, long-standing relationships in a market should use their status to boost the sales of all future products. Nostalgia is a creative construct of the mind; a tool of distraction and of desire that can be used in, and be essential to, a successful marketing strategy.
