For the LONGEST time, I've been trying to match a name to a genre of music that evokes the biggest sense of nostalgia out of me. My dad has been listening to similar style music for some time and when I ask him what genre it would be, he says "jazz." Which I don't think is entirely wrong, but not exactly correct. Every time I listen to this kind of music, I think of something dreamy and protective. Listening to it always calms me down and helps me focus.

And not too long ago, I found the answer: Utopian Scholastic.

Finding out about this term was like a flood gate being opened, memories hitting me all at once!! While I wasn't exactly a kid during the "start" of this aesthetic, I was alive when the tail end of this kind of media was still around.

Just listening to this kind of music makes me feel like a kid again, watching educational documentaries or just reading an informational book with plenty of pictures to keep me interested. All I need is a huge magnifying glass and a globe to start learning about the world and all of its oddities. When you hear this kind of music, you should be ready to study up or learn something new about our planet. Or even the world beyond our skies. You get the picture.

I have no idea what going to school and learning is like now, I'm way past that age. However, I always wonder if there's anything like this kind of music that kids have now. Or is it just like pop music and "67" these days? It makes me feel lucky that I managed to grow up in times where memes didn't dictate my attention span or random "did you know" facts were spewed at me in short form content. I'm a hypocrite for saying it, cause that's basically how I am now... maybe not as much as some other people out there xD

Anyways, I mainly just made this post to share music I thought was really cool and how child me would've wanted to explore an endless library with this as the back track. Man, my eyes are really watery right now xD

Enjoy the music, and I also hope this awakened some memories in some of you~
