When I heard The Backstreet Boys for the first time in 10 years, my inner nostalgiaphile went on a full-fledged boy band deep dive.

Nostalgia Malignancy

When you annoy your children and others with exaggerated stories of your own childhood.

Bragging about how you walked five miles to school in two feet of snow, uphill both ways, is nothing but nostalgia malignancy.

Nostalgiatard

Derogatory term for a person who is obsessed with things from the past (i.e. VHS tapes or the NES console), it has been used since the invention of the internet.

Person 1: I love the NES console so much!
Person 2: Oh hello Nostalgiatard
Person 1: HOW DARE YOU CALL ME THAT WORD!

Dumbass Nostalgia

Just like normal nostalgia, but when you remember a time when you were a dumbass instead.

Jake: "Dude I just remembered that time in 7th grade I dated Meghan."

Will: "Ew that ugly bitch?"

Will: "That's some serious dumbass nostalgia, Jake."

Flash Nostalgia

Flash Nostalgia is a sudden rush of sadness you get when you experience something (typically a song or an old picture/video) that reminds you of your past. You reminisce about the old times, good or bad, and wish you could slow down or reverse time and make better choices.

Did you hear that they played Hey Soul Sister at the assembly yesterday? haven’t heard that song since like 2010. Shit gave me flash nostalgia.
