jamais vu

 The opposite of déjà vu is "jamais vu", when something you know to be familiar feels unreal or novel in some way.

Jamais vu may involve looking at a familiar face and finding it suddenly unusual or unknown. Musicians have it momentarily – losing their way in a very familiar passage of music. You may have had it going to a familiar place and becoming disorientated or seeing it with "new eyes".

The Opposite of Déjà Vu Is Even More Uncanny
