Anachronism

A thing belonging to a period other than that in which it exists (especially something that is conspicuously old-fashioned)

There was a threat about anachronisms in media taking you out of it. Not an anachronism, but in a Spirit story by Alan Moore, there is a criminal eating his last breakfast, in Central City, and it is clearly an English breakfast, with cooked tomatoes and beans and everything short of haggis. Bzzzzt!

I feel like people don't realize how much caring about anachronism in art is a modern thing.

The Sense and Sensibility trailers set to ‘Man I Need’ is really working on me I kinda love anachronistic music choices for period romances and I wish more films would do that because it modernizes the story without literally modernizing it.
