faux reverie

(noun or adjective) deja vu or nostalgia for a distant and vague memory in your head that supposedly never happened, a fake or altered memory (usually very random/specific or something that barely makes sense)

every so often, i have flashbacks to driving in the car with my parents on a mountainside cliff next to a bay or ocean while listening to “my head & my heart” by ava max. it almost doesn’t seem real. i’ve asked my parents and they say they don’t remember it. i think it may be a faux reverie.

“what note is the first beat of measure 4?”

angora effect

when you discover something, such as a book series, community, game, show, app, movie or youtube channel you like that becomes stuck in your head and you keep thinking about it but it’s not exactly an obsession. (idk why i named it ‘angora’ i just like the name)

this fandom gives me the angora effect.
