I've fallen and I can't get up

A really annoying catchphrase from the late 80's/early 90's that originated from a commercial for a paramedical emergency radio for the elderly. During the commercial, and old lady falls off her walker and in the most pathetic tone of voice possible, utters this phrase into the advertised device.
Before everyone and their mom was screaming "I'm Rick James, bitch" they were screaming "I've fallen and I can't get up" in a sad attempt to be funny and witty.

false nostalgia

The longing for or reminiscence of an era which you did not actually grow up in, having only experienced the era through it's movies, TV shows, music, etc; not based on actual life experiences.
Most people these days claiming to be 90s kids are full of false nostalgia. They think seeing reruns in 2003 of shows from the 90s is the same as actually wearing the baggy jeans, riveted belt, and homemade tank top rocking your totally-not-natural blonde spiked hair while listening to Nirvana. Or locking yourself in your room full of Nick Carter and Joey Fatone posters, listening to BSB and *NSYNC after finishing up the recent Halloween episode of Boy Meets World.
