That one asshat who always appears on the chat board whenever a clip from a beloved classic movie or historical event is played, only to loudly boast how much better everything was back then, how men were more manly, women more womanly, and how everything that came after was just “woke” garbage, thus ruining the experience for everyone else.
“I tell you, they don’t make movies like this anymore. Now its all CGI, hack directors, and wokeness.”

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.

A phenomenon experienced in Russia or people with Russian heritage (Usually also live a Slavic life style) when they forget everything but The Motherland. They can forget things including but not limited to basic involuntary functions including breathing, heart movements, eye movement and intestinal movement.

An overwhelming feeling of nostalgia caused unexpectedly that can cause you to drop whatever you were working on or thinking about, and just drown you in memories. It takes hold of your actions and thoughts, and bends you to the will of your past experiences, in a similar manner of how a virus (the disease variant) will completely overwhelm a host.
I found a cool Spotify playlist the other day full of songs from 2012 and stuff, and was listening to it while doing the dishes, when We are young came on, and I had a case of sudden virus nostalgia from my sophomore year in high school.
