I keep trying to tease out the interplay of cultural reference making and nostalgia, to define dystalgia as a critical tool in assessing what value a given cultural reference has.
However, this post is a stumper. I'm not readily familiar with it's references, or understanding the sum of it's parts (Henry Miller + Rimbaud + Beau Brummel = ?), but I'm hugely intrigued, and enjoying the process of figuring it out.
To further muddy these waters... Maybe this post introduces a new spelling: distalgia, which would be a kind of discursive nostaliga.

Dystalgic, or perhaps, Distalgic.
