Is a diversion of the normal nostalgia, but instead of being nostalgic about your own past its about something, someone o somewhere you never were to.
False nostalgia can be experienced mostly after seeing something you know if you saw as a child, you would have remembered for the rest of your life, but as far as you know you didnt. This makes you remember your past and what you actually did, combining your actual nostalgia for your past and the thing you are watching into false nostalgia without you realising.

Old Russian: our motherland isnt what it used to be. I miss the Soviet Union & I think we should go back. Turn full communist again & take back the republics.
Normal Russian: I agree some things were better back then but take off the nostalgia goggles. We were like North Korea back then. This was a terrible place to live, we were just more unified & patriotic then.
