fanachronism

when someone watches a given TV show or movie well after its initial release and then expresses an opinion to people who saw it when it first came out

“Finally watched the last episode of The Sopranos on DVD. That ending sucked!”

“Yeah, but we got over it years ago. Now I’m all pissed off again. Thanks for the fanachronism.”

An ardent following or liking for something, apparently at odds with ones geographical location or class. A portmanteau word made of fan and anachronism

anachronism

(uh-nak-ruh-niz-uhm)

From Middle Greek anachronismo, the word Anachronism refers to an event, person, object or custom that is chronologically out of place. It can also be an error in chronology, in which a person, object, event, etc., is assigned a date or period other than the correct one.

Popularized by the Dresden Dolls’ song Girl Anachronism, you probably didn’t know the existence of the word until you heard that song, bitch.

Reverse anachronism

The opposite of an anachronism. Something discontinued in the past that shouldn't be available in the present.

Honestly, seeing this antique chair from 400 years ago makes it feel like some reverse anachronism.
