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 Nostalgiamug. Remembering something from the past, whether good or bad, and the feeling can be described from melancholic to even warm and comforting.
"The feeling I get when Im a passenger in a car going down an unexpected hill gives me nostalgia of my earliest memory of being pushed on a swing by my grandpa. Good times..."

Get the Nostalgiamug. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater was such a good game but it gave me Game Nostalgia Syndrome with it's inferior controls.

Get the Game Nostalgia Syndromemug. 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.

Get the Nostalgia Cuckoldingmug. Sensation you experience when you return to game you played long ago but developers removed or made all old features obsolete
Best example of Nostalgia crush can be found in game pixel gun 3D , developers removed many old iconic maps and because of power creep with new guns old ones became obsolete , therefore they crushed nostalgia of returning players
