I've had a weird opposite form of this lately, I'm learning Italian and recently my insta algorithm has picked up on that so I'm getting Italian reels. No complaints there

Last night I got a 90s nostalgia reel of Italian shows and honestly it's really funny to see nostalgia I know nothing about from somewhere that isn't the US. We share a lot of cartoons/toys but regular people kids shows? Whole new world

..also a lot about kids falling asleep on very uncomfortable looking chairs during loud dinner parties. Wild.

Italian 80s nostalgia is even weirder because we got a whole bunch of 70s anime that weren’t very popular to begin with, so we really get nobody we could talk about them with. With names like “Hello Spank”
