Excessive amount of nostalgia and grieving for the past to the point where present and the future becomes irrelevant for the person. This can be mostly caused by lack of happiness in the present and depression. The name destructive comes from the fact it causes destruction of the future due to being demotivated to do anything for it.
Patient: "The present and future has nothing for me, the brightness of my lost past is corroding my mind."
Therapist: "That sounds like destructive nostalgia."

Get the Destructive nostalgia mug.Blinded by nostalgia is typically a term referring to a player in a video game who knows that they enjoyed a certain newer update of a game, but act as if an older update of the game was better, because it was more "nostalgic", even though the update didn't bring really good stuff.

Get the Blinded by Nostalgia mug.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.”

Get the Nostalgia mug.Worst thing to ever exist. A mental virus that makes the past generation look great, which it isn't. Even an ounce of it makes people oblivious to better solutions to stuff. Fuck off, old times are the old times, things are changing. Cry about it, I don't care.
