Ugly Nostalgia

1. A homesickness for something that causes pain.

2. A sentimental longing or yearning associated with a memory despite negative feelings associated with it

3. A nostalgia that is so ugly you can’t look away.

Damn this song I used to listen to when I was depressed has me feeling such a sense of ugly nostalgia. Makes me feel horrible but I can’t stop listening

Flash Nostalgia

Flash Nostalgia is a sudden rush of sadness you get when you experience something (typically a song or an old picture/video) that reminds you of your past. You reminisce about the old times, good or bad, and wish you could slow down or reverse time and make better choices.

Did you hear that they played Hey Soul Sister at the assembly yesterday? haven’t heard that song since like 2010. Shit gave me flash nostalgia.

Dumbass Nostalgia

Just like normal nostalgia, but when you remember a time when you were a dumbass instead.

Jake: "Dude I just remembered that time in 7th grade I dated Meghan."

Will: "Ew that ugly bitch?"

Will: "That's some serious dumbass nostalgia, Jake."

Nostalgia Malignancy

When you annoy your children and others with exaggerated stories of your own childhood.

Bragging about how you walked five miles to school in two feet of snow, uphill both ways, is nothing but nostalgia malignancy.
