This post is all about the nostalgia that some feel for the pandemic, especially in 2020. The post will begin by talking about this on TikTok, where the nostalgia is widespread. Then, it will discuss some of the causes of this nostalgia, including that nostalgia for the pandemic is anticipatory nostalgia, as well as the focus that there was on the community during the pandemic. Then I will discuss some of the positive and negative impacts concerning nostalgia for the lockdown, and regarding nostalgia in general.
