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.

Nostalgia Chick

The female counterpart to the Nostalgia Critic. Like him, she dissects the media crazes and horrors of yesteryear (80's and 90's) with a rare, hilarious incisiveness. She generally reviews the girly nostalgia- Teen Witch, Thumbelina, Pocohantas, and Labyrinth being some of the funniest- though there was one instance when their turf overlapped (Ferngully) and they co-reviewed it after having one of the best fights on the internet.

Nostalgia Fag

One who refuses to accept new sequels and/or versions of past-successful products, whether it be movies, games, albums, etc.

Matt is such a nostalgia fag. He doesn't want to go see Back to the Future 2 because he only wishes to believe the first one was the best.

James has only played the original Super Mario Brothers and has no interest in the newer titles of the series.

Katelyn hates the new Cola flavor and says the original is the only she has ever liked.

nostalgiadamus

noun. a.k.a., The Man Who Saw Yesterday. Someone who is hung up on the past and can only talk about "the good old days". A cultural dinosaur. Drives a K-car and wishes for a DeLorean. Thinks Bananarama will have a comeback. Old school, but even more so.

Dude, she is so retro, I'm talking like, nostalgiadamus retro.

Nostalgiatard

Grown adults who are stuck in past and think that decades like the 90s were flawless. They're founded everywhere on social media and they hate certain things and technologies just because it wasn't from the decade they grew up with, but if someone likes those things then the nostalgiatard will force-feed you dumb excuses and call you names. They appear in all kinds of medias such as music, cartoons, movies, books, etc. Most of them usually spam these "only 90s kids know this" posts on social media sites. They have a large habit of comparing old media to new media. The "90s kids" who constantly brag weren't even from the 90s and were born in like 1999 trying to look cool. They always say that the 00s+ kids had a bad childhood even though every decade had its flaws and often stereotype the younger generations. They're founded in lots of YouTube comment sections, especially music videos. Most young kids are also nostalgiatards who weren't even around in decades like the 50s or 80s. They really love to hate on games like fortnite, cartoons like teen titans go, and music artists like justin beiber and make hate art and send death threats to the people who like those medias.

Person 1: I like TTG and S4+ SBSP!
Person 2: Dude those shows suck and you have bad taste!
Person 1: Ok nostalgiatard!

LOSTalgia

The feeling of emptiness that follows the finale of the ABC series "LOST". Symptoms include using characters as your Facebook avatar for no reason, playing 4-8-15-16-23-42 on your weekly lottery tickets, eating imaginary peanut butter out of empty jars, employing phrases like "This is my destiny!" and "See ya in another life, brotha" in daily conversation - often with bad Scottish accents and out of context - and creating Urban Dictionary definitions for "LOSTalgia" as a means of coping with the loss.

Friend#1: "What's that you're listening to?"

Friend #2: "Geronimo Jackson."

Friend #1: "Feeling the LOSTalgia again, huh?"

Friend #2: (nods....cries a little) "

Friend# 1: ".....You really need to get a girlfriend."

Friend #2 (suddenly angry): "Do you know badly I want to kill you?"

Friend #1: "Uh...yeah....I'm gonna go now. Don't stay up too late."

Friend#2: "Don't tell me what I can't do!"

Friend #1: (walks away without another word)

Friend #2: (calls after him) We have to go back!
