Forced nostalgia

realizing you have to get rid of something you haven't used in ages, and finding an excuse to use it so you keep it longer.
Jimmy developed a sense of forced nostalgia for his tonka trucks when he realized his parents were going to sell them in a yard sale.

false nostalgia

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.

"The new Transformers movie sucks! The original cartoon was the best!"
In this case the commenter is wearing Nostalgia Goggles, as the new movies/cartoons may be geared towards a new audience, instead of the old one

Tinted Nostalgia

Tinted Nostalgia is when something is Nostalgic but it feels so recent, the event may have been many decades ago but it, ¨feels like yesterday¨, it happens a lot to many of my community members with music where they feel a song just came out yesterday because of the vibe and the freshness of the song but in reality, it dropped 2+ years ago.
Owen - Man, that XXXTentacion song feels so fresh but it came out so long ago.
Stino - You must be feeling some Tinted Nostalgia regarding it is the anniversary of X´s death
