The Sleepover Club: Will We Ever Stop Romanticising The Past?

Tired of the remake of the remake? The love of nostalgia is everywhere right now, from fashion and music to films and tv. We're taking a deep-dive into why exactly we love to look back on the past, in a special episode co-hosted by our deputy editor Gina Tonic.Is capitalism to blame? Is it easier to dwell on what's already happened instead of looking to the future?
