palindiscovery

the peculiar experience of encountering a piece of media, barely noticing or appreciating it at the time, then independently discovering it again years later and finding that it becomes a major part of your life, interests, or identity.

I saw that animated series when I was eight and thought nothing of it. When I stumbled across it again at sixteen, it became my favorite show. What a case of palindiscovery!
