:past
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The :past CSS pseudo-class selector is a time-dimensional pseudo-class that will match for any element which appears entirely before an element that matches :current. For example in a video with captions which are being displayed by WebVTT.
