Some series are set in the present, or 20 Minutes into the Future, or they're meant to have a sort of timelessness to them (which make it awkward whenever someone brings out a cassette tape or a payphone), or else they're set in the distant past, so far back that no one who was alive at that time would be alive to shout "Hey! That's not how it was back in my day!" Then there are these pieces. Maybe they wanted to avoid certain things from today's society, like modern technology or the Internet, that they didn't have when they were a kid. Maybe the author was looking back to the "good ol' days". For one reason or another, they've chosen to set their show a couple decades back. Now, just slapping a "June 5th, 1976" on an establishing shot and then doing a "Mister Sandman" Sequence isn't enough. The show's time period has to be readily evident from every frame. If it's set in the 1960s, they should listen to The Beatles and protest The Vietnam War. If it's set in the 1970s, some wistful mention of disco and classic rock should come up. If it's set in the 1980s, everyone should be blowing out their hair and wearing neon. If it's set in the 1990s... you get the idea. It doesn't necessarily need to be The Theme Park Version of its decade, but it should be pretty blatant. Note that this differs from a Period Piece because of the nostalgia factor; if there's an obvious reason for the series to be set at a certain time, then it becomes a period piece. For example, film adaptations of The Great Gatsby are set in The Roaring '20s because they're based on a novel that was not only written during that time period, but delved deeply into the era's pop culture, making it difficult to set in other time periods. Meanwhile, the film Frost/Nixon is based on events from the 1970s, and so there's less of a nostalgic factor in the decision to set it in that time so much as historical accuracy. On the other hand, Harry Potter, despite being set in the 1990s, wouldn't qualify because there's nothing nostalgic about the books, or really any indication of the decade it's in beyond the dates. We can't know for sure that the author is setting a work at some point in time because they're feeling nostalgic, but unless the work is based on something else (historical events or a work from that time period), then nostalgia is a logical assumption. In general, if you can picture the author of a work writing the script, and then deciding last minute to set it in such-and-such time period, then it counts as this trope. Furthermore, as a rule of thumb, the series' main creators should have been alive when the series is being set (more or less; it's possible to be nostalgic for your parents' era as well). It can't be too recent; anything set in the 21st century was a no-go until the late 2010s and early 2020s. On the other hand, if it's too old, it becomes less nostalgic and more of a period piece. For example, something set in the 1920s today is now considered a period piece. A good rule of thumb is anything set less than twenty or more than fifty years ago does not qualify, unless it is going out of its way to fixate on the most nostalgic elements of the period or homage other works that were straightforwardly nostalgic for it. As of 2010, the 1950s had fully slipped into period piece territory, the 1960s had started to go the same way, and the 1990s started to enter nostalgia territory. As the 2020s go on, the 2000s will start becoming nostalgic while the 1970s will start to become the domain of period pieces. Sub-trope of Period Piece. Compare Retraux, which is when the work is meant to look like it's from another time period, which has its own nostalgic value. May relate to Romanticism Versus Enlightenment as another reason to set a piece in an earlier time period. Has nothing to directly do with anything called Nostalgia, or The Nostalgia Critic, or any of the many similar critics; the trope for that is Caustic Critic. |

Meet Me in St. Louis, made by Vincente Minelli and Judy Garland in 1944, looks back with affection on the St. Louis of 1904. While most of the filmmakers were looking back to their parents' era, the film was based on the short stories and novel of Sally Benson, who wrote from her own childhood experiences. | |

American Graffiti was made by George Lucas in the '70s to look back on his adolescence. While it's technically set in 1962, this Oscar-nominated box-office success helped spark the explosion of nostalgia for The '50s, and is practically the Trope Codifier for the all-star soundtrack that would accompany so many later nostalgia films. | |

The trope gets its name from That '70s Show (1998-06), which has its eight seasons crammed into a four year period: 1976-79. By extension, it also gets its name from the lesser-known spin-off, That '80s Show (2002) with its single season set in 1984. That '90s Show is a Sequel Series to 70s set twenty years later. |

PEN15 (2019-present) does this for the Turn of the Millennium, taking place in the year 2000. While the 21st century technically starts in the year 2001 (and culturally, many people would argue that it really started on September 11, 2001), this is the first series to start with 2000s nostalgia. | |

Back to the Future, about a teenage boy from 1985 traveling back in time to a highly romanticized 1955. (The sequels are not examples; the second film has him jumping 20 Minutes into the Future, while the third has him going back to The Wild West.) | |

Three of Broadway's biggest hits of the mid-20th century were Life With Father, I Remember Mama, and The Music Man; all were based on the childhood recollections of Clarance Day Jr., Kathryn Forbes, and Meredith Wilson, respectively, and all were eventually made into motion pictures as well (though by the time Wilson's piece reached the stage it was almost a Period Piece). | |

In The Good Old Summertime is a 1949 musical remake of The Shop Around the Corner, also set in The Gay '90s. It features a cameo appearance by 3-year-old Liza Minelli in the last shot. Ms. Minelli, of course, is the daughter of Judy and the director of the first movie in this informal trifecta. | |

The 2013 romantic comedy The To Do List is set in 1993, presumably to justify the heroine (an 18 year old, just graduated from high school) being completely sheltered about sex. The plot would not have been plausible in a post-internet era setting. | |

Halloween Horror Nights: The Orlando event has the Vamp series of scarezones, each of them set in a nostalgic setting that's been infested by vampires, with classic hits from that time period serving as the soundtrack playing over the speakers in the area. Vamp '55 in 2016 was based on a homecoming parade in The '50s and had vampire Pom-Pom Girls and Greaser Delinquents terrorizing the homecoming court. Vamp '85: New Year's Eve in 2018 was set in Times Square on December 31, 1984 and had yuppies getting terrorized by vampire punks, with various '80s celebrities having also been turned. Finally, Vamp '69: Summer of Blood in 2023 is based on a fictionalized version of Woodstock getting attacked by vampires summoned by that year's Icon Dr. Oddfellow. The Orlando event in 2015 had the haunted house RUN: Blood, Sweat and Fears, an homage to The Running Man and American Gladiators with a Zeerust '80s retro-apocalypse theme. The event has also done houses based on Stranger Things, recreating that show's own nostalgic '80s setting. |

The Grand Theft Auto series, whenever it does a setting in the past, often rests heavily on this. The first game's London packs are a pastiche of 1960s London. Vice City and its prequel Vice City Stories are the best examples of this, set in pastiches of '80s Miami designed to allow people to live a gangster lifestyle straight out of Scarface (1983) or Miami Vice, with a period soundtrack of Nothing but Hits and plenty of broad satire of the culture and politics of the time. While Vice City technically breaks the 20-year rule for this trope, having been set in 1986 and released in 2002, it is otherwise awash in nostalgia to the point that it has been described in hindsight as the game where most of the imagery associated with nostalgic depictions of The '80s really coalesced. Vice City Stories, meanwhile, neatly sails through the cutoff, being set in 1984 and released 22 years later in 2006. San Andreas does something similar, except for California in 1992 at the height of the Gangsta Rap era, breaking the 20-year rule for this trope (it was released in 2004, just twelve years after it takes place) but definitely indulging in its spirit much like Vice City did. Liberty City Stories doesn't qualify, though, as it is set in 1998 but otherwise uninterested in the time period beyond exploring the backstories of characters from Grand Theft Auto III (which was released and set in 2001) and making a few jokes about The Matrix and boy bands on the radio. |

Vice City and its prequel Vice City Stories are the best examples of this, set in pastiches of '80s Miami designed to allow people to live a gangster lifestyle straight out of Scarface (1983) or Miami Vice, with a period soundtrack of Nothing but Hits and plenty of broad satire of the culture and politics of the time. While Vice City technically breaks the 20-year rule for this trope, having been set in 1986 and released in 2002, it is otherwise awash in nostalgia to the point that it has been described in hindsight as the game where most of the imagery associated with nostalgic depictions of The '80s really coalesced. Vice City Stories, meanwhile, neatly sails through the cutoff, being set in 1984 and released 22 years later in 2006. | |

Liberty City Stories doesn't qualify, though, as it is set in 1998 but otherwise uninterested in the time period beyond exploring the backstories of characters from Grand Theft Auto III (which was released and set in 2001) and making a few jokes about The Matrix and boy bands on the radio. | |

While Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven and its sequel Mafia II were straight period pieces (the first was set during The Great Depression, the latter during World War II and The '50s), Mafia III is set in 1968, just barely getting in under the 50-year rule (it was made in 2016) but otherwise indulging in it for all it's worth. The soundtrack is composed of Nothing but Hits, the collectible items include issues of Playboy (complete with the articles) and Hot Rod Magazine, and the social strife of the time period, particularly the Civil Rights Movement and The Vietnam War, figures heavily into the plot. | |

The 1980s Indiana Jones movies were set in the 1930s and were rooted in George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's nostalgia for the classic film serials they grew up with, helping to pioneer the Two-Fisted Tales subgenre of Action-Adventure stories. The fourth movie, released in 2008, updates things to a '50s Cold War setting and homages to that decade's sci-fi movies. The fifth movie was set in 1969 and released in 2023, just past the fifty-year mark, but is otherwise just as nostalgic for the late '60s era of Woodstock and The Space Race. | |

British comedy Derry Girls (2018-present) is set roughly in 1995 near the end of The Troubles in Derry, Northern Ireland. It references Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects is in theatresnote British spelling, and President Bill Clinton visits Derry. However, there are creative liberties with the timeline: Take That (Band) performed in Derry in 1993 and the IRA ceasefire happened in 1994. | |

Mary Poppins comes from Walt Disney's admiration for the Edwardian Era. The books are set in the 1930s but the film moves the setting to the early 1900s. There seems to be no reason for the change other than the nostalgia and Walt's particular fondness for the era. | |

The first game's London packs are a pastiche of 1960s London. | |

Across the Universe (2007), being set in the '60s and made in 2007, just barely qualifies as this. | |

The much less famous 1979 film The Wanderers is also set in 1963. | |

The Goldbergs (2013-present) has every episode set in "1980-something" and is largely biographical. Likewise, it's 2019 spinoff, Schooled has every episode in the "1990-something". |
