A self-obsessed guy (not necessarily a geek) who constantly reflects on his "glorious" past—a very short-lived moment of "popularity" when he felt like the king of a small town (though people were laughing about him behind his back). He dislikes everything contemporary and adores classic music and old cinema. To him, Gen Zers are a bunch of fools, raw idiots who are nothing like him (so, of course, stupid, stupid).
The nostalgeek hates Ed Sheeran and Justin Biber. He also doesn’t appreciate Drake or any other popular hip Hop hits .. it’s beyond him..
