Leftovers (with the exception of soup) are rarely as good as freshly cooked food. Therefore, in order to fully appreciate them, you must eat them cold, thus creating an entirely different culinary experience out of the same food.
If they are for dinner though, then I will allow an exception. Dinner should always be hot. Lunch and snacks can be cold.

It's their natural state, and allows you to appreciate and enjoy the food in a different way the second time around. Plus, heating up entire meals rarely works out well.

and yes, unfortunately I am talking about temperature.
I acknowledge that this is probably one of the coldest takes of all time
But I need to put it down, if only for me
As someone who, doesn’t prefer it, but does rather enjoy cold leftovers, potentially too much sometimes, I think A worthwhile consideration before indulging Is whether or not whatever it is will be exponentially better if warmed up.
Epiphany struck about 3 peanuts in from the refrigerator cold can of boiled peanuts.
Some foods just aren’t built like that, and as much as I attempt to deny it, it would be worth just TRYING to see things as they truly are sometimes

I don't know how well this actually answers your initial question, I think it's more of a counterpoint to some of the stuff people have already said, but here it goes.
In the past (prior to social media or search engines) specific styles, specialized knowledge, and niche awareness actually took effort. You had to go out into the world and find a scene, be accepted, participate in it, contribute to it, and learn from others with specific knowledge within the specific sub- or counter-cultural scene. It took time, effort, and experience to craft an identity. Nowadays people cycle through various identities and trends like commodities because it takes no effort (they're sold to them by social media algorithms, influencers, brand accounts, etc.). It comes to you in your phone without you ever even having to leave the house or put in the time to discover it or participate in it (you just follow specific people or subscribe). You can be a passive observer or consumer, not an active contributor. As a result, you're not invested or tied down and committed to that core identity. You can cosplay depending on your mood or who you want to momentarily convey yourself as, because it's easy. Essentially, being a poser has become normalized. An identity is now something to be momentarily consumed and affected, rather than grown, built, and developed over time.
Granted, it's always been different in regards to "mass" culture and popular trends (both in the past and now). Those are impossible to miss and were always monopolized by specific trend setting institutions, but always by the time it gets to that point, the actual initial counter- or sub-culture that inspired it has already been coopted and has started to disintegrate under the weight and attention of mass consumption.

It's an action deserving of its own nickname. My cat's name is Gomez, but when he crosses his paws like this, he turns into Hodgkins Plumpersocks.
