crippling nostalgia

Living life in nostalgia and refusing to take part in modern day life. Ex. Owning a 360 even though you could have the One, but refuse to purchase in the name of nostalgia.
Wow dude your room looks like the 90’s threw up everywhere.”

Secondhand Nostalgia

Feeling nostalgia for something that came waaay before one’s time. This usually refers to people who like listening to music before the early 2000’s, and talking about this time as though they experienced it themselves, when in reality they were born decades after that era has long ended.
Person 1: “man, I love listening to Guns N’ Roses on cassette! You just can’t get the same feel from Spotify… I wish I could go back to the 80’s when shit was simpler

Person 2: “dude, you were born in 2001, you only like cassette because you were too poor to afford an iPhone back in high school. You never experienced the 80’s, and your Secondhand Nostalgia is embarrassing.”

Nostalgia Mining

The creation of a movie or piece of media with the sole purpose being to bring back nostalgic memories from its audience. This happens because the producers of these movies or pieces of media know that they will profit off of your childhood memories.
person 1: I really want to see that new "Mean Girls" movie! I used to love the original when I was a kid.
person 2: I've heard the production quality isn't very good because they are nostalgia mining instead of putting work into the movie to make money.
