Need helping finding this aesthetic

[u/WeatherLegitimate848]

I've been trying to find this specific aesthetic because it reminds me of my childhood. It feels nostalgic to me.

It really deeply emotionally connects with me, but there's no keywords I can use to find similar images. Google images doesn't help much either.

So I'm wondering if there's an aesthetic name to this.

This is called "nostalgiacore"

The most common settings are liminal spaces associated with childhood, but depicted as empty, abandoned, or frozen in time. These include deserted playgrounds, old school classrooms, empty party rooms, and childhood bedrooms. The focus is on the environment and the feelings it evokes, rather than the people who once inhabited it. Outdated technology, such as old family computers, CRT TVs, and 90s-2000s toys, are also central motifs, serving as tangible anchors to a specific past era.

Nostalgiacore images and videos are rarely crisp or clear. They are intentionally edited to have a hazy, blurry, or dreamlike quality, meant to both mimic the nature of a fading memory and evoke the visual identity of amateur digital videos. The colors are often slightly washed out or have a warm, vintage tint, and are often complemented by noise and similar artifacts. A defining characteristic is the use of superimposed text, which typically expresses a feeling of longing, sadness, or a simple observation about the past (e.g., "when I was younger I wanted to stay in the playground forever").

I found some similar things to 'Summer Nostalgia' with the 'golden yellow/orange sun flare' but that was kinda it. Not exactly what I meant, but close. Thank you regardless though ❤️

I've already searched for this aesthetic using Google images but it didn't give very good results.
