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.”

That bittersweet feeling of seeing something that triggers good childhood memories. It feels nice but it can also hurt, knowing that those nostalgic memories you’re seeing are just memories now.
“I saw an old toy in my basement while I was taking out clothes from my dryer. It was very dirty and dusty, but this toy has triggered memories from my childhood. That was the feeling of nostalgia; it feels so good, but now that toy is just a distant memory..”

A phenomina in the Pokémon Community. About 8-10 years after a generation of Pokémon releases, the people who grew up with the generations start glazing the games to death. Sometimes generations are skipped in the cycle (like Gen 2 and Gen 6) and usually join another generation's fans (like Gen 2 fans joining Gen 4 fans due to HGSS).
The cycle started off with Genwunners in the early 2000s-early 2010s, then Gen 3 fans in 2013 with "Hoenn Confirmed!", then Gen 4 fans/Sinnohfetuses in 2017, and then Genfivers in 2021. It will likely shift to Gen 7 fans in a year or two since Pokémon Sun and Moon turns 10 next year.

"I've seen people praising Gen 7 online more recently. Is the Pokémon Nostalgia Cycle shifting again?"
