futuristic nostalgia

Futuristic nostalgia is the feeling of nostalgia experienced before an event occurs, when a person anticipates a meaningful moment or life phase ending and feels sadness or longing in advance.

Example: Sitting in class before graduation, she was overcome with futuristic nostalgia, already missing the school she had not yet left.

Blinded by Nostalgia

Blinded by nostalgia is typically a term referring to a player in a video game who knows that they enjoyed a certain newer update of a game, but act as if an older update of the game was better, because it was more "nostalgic", even though the update didn't bring really good stuff.

"Season 3 was better than Chapter 2 Season 2"
"You are blinded by nostalgia"

Nostalicons

A combination of the word Nostalgia and Icon.

Where an Icon causes a person to look back at times gone by with sense of nostalgia. The icon makes people remember. Nostalgia makes people want to buy more stuff.

A figure or character that people remember fondly. It brings back good memories.

I just saw a commercial where they used Mr. Peanut to try and show me how cool it is to eat peanuts. My parents thought it was cool. Me ... not so much. (But wait ... now I have a sudden craving for peanuts). So, I guess NostalIcons really to work.

Would a gecko make you want to buy car insurance? No? Me either.

Those really old MTV commercials where they show that guy in a space suit holding an MTV flag are cool ... sort of.
