If you could "Eternal Sunshine" a piece of media so that you could listen to it for the first time again, what would it be? (lemmy.ca)

I don't know, I'd be worried if I did that then it wouldn't hit the same for me the second time around. Who am I now compared to then? What state of mind am I in? I mean who knows how much a song or a a movie resonates with you has to do with where you are at that time?

Fucking hell I wasn't prepared for the existential questions when I entered this thread.

Yeah I was thinking something similar. The first Game that came into my head was "Gothic" which I have played since forever (since ive been a little kid) and took me forever to beat for the first time. I don't know if I would even start playing it today if I didn't know and love it already. From my perspective today the graphics are outdated and the controls are clunky but it has such a unique heart.

100% there are songs and music that I adore that were heavily attached to who I was at the time, that, although I still adore, would not have the same impact now. Green day, RHCP, imagine dragons, all those are from different key times in my life that just would not resonate the same with level of impact today.

I would most definitely lose that value if I eternal sumshined it
