It's apparently a very new word but "Anemoia" means "nostalgia" for something you haven't experienced. Nostalgia in quotes because by definition you can't be nostalgic for something you never experienced.

I actually looked it up a while back and there are several words... some seemingly invented recently (there is probably one true german one [1]) but couldn't find a definitive answer. I get the same feeling from the "vaporwave" [2] genre of music or any popular song but paired with the words "slowed and reverb" [3] on youtube.

Maybe not exactly nostalgia, but there is a term that serves: déjà vu

"The meaning of DÉJÀ VU is the illusion of remembering scenes and events when experienced for the first time." [1]
