Nostalgia

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..”

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 of Recency

The feeling of a positive remembrance of an event that has occurred after Covid-19.
The only reason I have nostalgia of recency is because lockdown was so peaceful compared to today.

Although, I still don't like my chores 🗣🧊🧊🧊

nostalgiarot

A form of brainrot that is the hyper-obsession of nostalgic material with a conservative mindset of not accepting change and moving on from the past, even if the newer material is objectively better.
Person 1: "Can't stand new Roblox...I don't like these R15 avatars and these newer, complex games. This is why I only play pre-2013 games and have a blocky 1.0 avatar with no UGC hats. Everything about old Roblox was better..."
Person: "bitch can you shut the fuck up??? bro has a severe case of nostalgiarot"
