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.

Nostalgia

Homesickness to the past.
When you feel nostalgic you have a longing to go back to (a moment in) the past.

"Why are you watching Icarly?"
"I felt nostalgia."

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 Troll

That one asshat who always appears on the chat board whenever a clip from a beloved classic movie or historical event is played, only to loudly boast how much better everything was back then, how men were more manly, women more womanly, and how everything that came after was just “woke” garbage, thus ruining the experience for everyone else.

“I tell you, they don’t make movies like this anymore. Now its all CGI, hack directors, and wokeness.”

This spake the nostalgia troll
