retro-stanning

When you BEGIN stan someone, mainly a musical group that has already split or disbanded.

The term is inspired by the word "retroactive," which means "taking effect from a date in the past."

It's not really nostalgia, because you were never really there.

So it feels like you are stanning a period in the past, and you are mentally there.
1. Since JPop was gatekept for a million years, now I'm retro-stanning King & Prince as 5/6 members in 2025.

2. Retro-stanning *insert former famous girl group or boy band* because the hype is gone now.

Retro-Me

A past version of oneself, often less mature, experienced, or evolved.

A person going through experiences you’ve already been through — someone metaphorically walking in your footsteps.

Heisei Retro

Heisei Retro is a term that refers to the very bright colours and non-internet excess of early-mid Heisei years.
If anyone can claim authorship of the term Heisei Retro, it’s Mero Yamashita, a collector, exhibition curator and writer. He argues that the early Heisei years belong to a distinct cultural epoch, as different from today as Showa was from the Taisho Era (1912-26).
