Nostalgia

The feeling when you're sad but crying tears of joy.
The nostalgia kicked in when I reminisced about my childhood while playing Gusty Garden Galaxy.

MTV Nostalgia

Reminiscing the old days of the MTV music channel - the songs, the vibe, the shows and general aesthetic of that time back in the day. Depending on when you grew up, you can be more fond of the 90s or 2000s era and timeline of the channel.

Blinded by Nostalgia

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.
"Season 3 was better than Chapter 2 Season 2"
"You are blinded by nostalgia"

Destructive nostalgia

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."
