A person who continues to re-live their past by using social media sites like Facebook to find out what their old classmates and friends have been up to despite not having spoken to them since graduation.
Sally knew all about her ex best friend, Lacy because she had been her nostalgia stalker since they friended each other on Facebook.

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.

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.

Someone's tunnel vision when it comes to objects from their past, such as cartoons, video games, even books.
"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 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

A metaphor for someone viewing something in the past as much better than it actually was refusing to remember how bad something may have been.
People wearing nostalgia goggles usually wanna go back in time & live in a certain period again, forgetting everything wrong with that time period.
Nostalgia goggle users often prefer old crappy versions of TV shows & movies they grew up watching rather than the new & improved versions.
Ex 1: a Dragonball fan who grew up with the Ocean Dub that hates the Funimation dub for being different is wearing nostalgia goggles, refusing to admit the Funi dub is much more professional & authentic than the amateur sounding Ocean dub.
Ex 2: a woman who grew up watching My Little Pony who hates Friendship is Magic for being different has a bad case of nostalgia goggles.
Ex 3: an old person who thinks the 1950s were much better than the present day in every way & wishes to go back is wearing nostalgia goggles, forgetting that we had half the conveniences, technology, development, infrastructure, movies, etc we do today.

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.
