    I am also not an expert but my inclination is “no”.

    You could, having never seen an impressionist painting, come up with an impressionist art piece on your own.

    Similarly, you can act and behave in ways that follow rules and patterns you are not consciously aware of.

    You can be broadly described as a parody of something, with yourself either not aware of / intending this, or even with you vehemently denying it.

    You don’t have to be self aware to delve into an oddly specific, intense, and reverant form of nostalgia. You can do that without realizing that that is what you are doing.
