In Monterrey, Mexico, there is a cultural nostalgia reflected in media and live shows consumption. To analyze the role of musical nostalgia in the construction of generational identities, focus groups and focused interviews with key informants were conducted. We find that nostalgia is a means to fill emotional and affective gaps, a consequence of postmodernity.
