"Nostalgic" is the best adjective to describe the era where the indigenous May-May tribe had once predicted that the apocalypse would happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, which was going to coincide with the fasting month of Ramadan. At a later time, it eventually turned out that this D-day is just the end of the calendar of May-May tribe which had spanned for 5590 years, which is akin to the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era that occured in Japan back in 1989 — as "apocalypse" is a concept coined by the modern civilization that is completely unknown to the May-May tribe.

It's nostalgic to remember that when I was a kid in the 1980's, I worried that the apocalypse would happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, the day I was going to start high school in Japan — like what the indigenous May-May tribe had predicted. Guess, it now turns out that this D-day is just the end of the calendar of May-May tribe which had spanned for 5590 years, which is akin to the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era that occured in Japan back in 1989.
