What is anachronism?

A unit of experience devoid of temporal dimension. A timeless moment, year or lifespan.

Increasingly, he felt every unit of experience as an anachron. He was unable to answer what hour, what season, what decade it might be, or how old he was, completely uncertain as to how much, or whether, any time had passed or would pass between this moment and another. He was simply alive and had been granted extraordinary freedom from the weight of time.

Anachronism

(uh-nak-ruh-niz-uhm)

From Middle Greek anachronismo, the word Anachronism refers to an event, person, object or custom that is chronologically out of place. It can also be an error in chronology, in which a person, object, event, etc., is assigned a date or period other than the correct one.

Popularized by the Dresden Dolls’ song Girl Anachronism, you probably didn’t know the existence of the word until you heard that song, bitch.
