creative-nostalgic

A particular type of nostalgia - a longing for enhanced creativity in the form of inspirational, imaginative, philosophical thoughts, of which appear to be diminishing in the current age.

A state of mind in which a person longs to exist in a previous culture or society which appears creatively superior to their own.

A creative-nostalgic person longs to feel the same emotions that they felt from watching or reading Lord of the Rings, the works of J.R.R Tolkien, and wishes for similar works of art to be created.

A creative-nostalgic person may be someone whom embraces medieval culture and/or mythology such as that of the Norse Vikings and envisions themselves in that world and portrays their vision in a creative art form.

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.

Ugly Nostalgia

1. A homesickness for something that causes pain.

2. A sentimental longing or yearning associated with a memory despite negative feelings associated with it

3. A nostalgia that is so ugly you can’t look away.

Damn this song I used to listen to when I was depressed has me feeling such a sense of ugly nostalgia. Makes me feel horrible but I can’t stop listening
