The answer will always skew towards teens and twenties because after that point your brain is much less likely to think of any new/other music as “good”. It’s the real reason why I like their older stuff better is not just a hipster joke.
I am never nostalgic. I grew up in the late '50s and the '60s, in the shadow of the Cuban Missile Crisis and all that followed it, with a boatload of other baggage that I have only recently begun to unpack. There is nothing for me to be nostalgic about.

Most of us bought our first album in our teens. And who can forget your first couple song? How much more nostalgic can something be?
Late teens, early twenties. My college years. Or just Jimmy Eat World
How about music from the years before we were born? I remember listening to music with my grandparents when I’m nostalgic.
I like to listen to Casey Kasem’s American Top 40 which can be anywhere in the 70’s or 80’s.
When I’m not listening to classical, it’s usually 70s funk. It makes me happy. It’s music from my childhood.
I guess I should abstain since I’m in my 20s

Youngsters lol

To get a nostalgic feeling I guess the music would have to be over 10 years old.
Something between Patsy Cline and Avenged Sevenfold.
Nostalgia is defined by the moment.

@2many2no I just heard this guy for the first time the other day on my classical music for works station. Excellent. Not Beethoven, Ashkenazy.:)

the radio in my car is perpetually on SiriusXM’s Lithium, “Grunge and 90’s Alternative”
I graduated HS in 98.
extrapolate from that what you will…
