A lot of songs come to mind, actually.

But if I had to pick just one, it would be MC Solaar's Carpe Diem.

My French is shaky at best, so back when I stumbled upon MC Solaar (maybe it was via Bearshare), I could barely understand the gist of what was said - and even with a much better understanding, many of the "retro" references in this song specifically would have made no sense to me.

But it evoked a weird sense of nostalgia in me - a longing for a time/things, that I had no connection to (so I shouldn't even feel any nostalgia):

PS: If I had to pick something more popular, it would be Plastic Love by Mariya Takeuchi (got recommended by YouTube back when it made its first comeback wave in 2011, I think).

Another classic as a bonus.

Sadly, this one can't be translated, because it's a twist on a German word play:

A classic by Fil (famous Berlin comic book artist), boiled down by me (it's originally a whole page, so I cut some stuff out, changed some things around and did some mild recoloring).

Translation (it's all in a very thick Berlin accent):

Didi: Stulle, know what I ask myself every now and then?
Stulle: Guess you're about to tell me, Didi.

Didi: Sometimes I ask myself: Who are we? Where do we come from? And where are we going?

Stulle: We're Didi and Stulle. We're from Berlin's March district. And we're walking to the 127 bus stop.

Didi: Could you repeat that, but this time a tad slower? I have to write this down.
