Nostalgia Malignancy

When you annoy your children and others with exaggerated tales of your difficult childhood.

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

Virus Nostalgia

An overwhelming feeling of nostalgia caused unexpectedly that can cause you to drop whatever you were working on or thinking about, and just drown you in memories. It takes hold of your actions and thoughts, and bends you to the will of your past experiences, in a similar manner of how a virus (the disease variant) will completely overwhelm a host.

I found a cool Spotify playlist the other day full of songs from 2012 and stuff, and was listening to it while doing the dishes, when We are young came on, and I had a case of sudden virus nostalgia from my sophomore year in high school.

Nostalgia Mining

The creation of a movie or piece of media with the sole purpose being to bring back nostalgic memories from its audience. This happens because the producers of these movies or pieces of media know that they will profit off of your childhood memories.

person 1: I really want to see that new "Mean Girls" movie! I used to love the original when I was a kid.
person 2: I've heard the production quality isn't very good because they are nostalgia mining instead of putting work into the movie to make money.

Nostalgia crush

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
