No Nostalgia Critic November

A challenge where a person must not watch Nostalgia Critic for the whole month of November.
Should they fail the challenge, which is very easy to do, they must set their avatar on all of their social media accounts to a picture of Doug Walker for the rest of November.
Person 1: "Are you planning on taking the No Nostalgia Critic November challenge?"
Person 2: "I already failed it."
Person 1: "But it's only 12:05AM on November 1st."
Person 2: "It's a very hard challenge."

Nostalgia goggles

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.

Nostalgia

A force almost as powerful as love. Nostalgia is what you feel when you look back at the good times in life. The times you remember when you were at either your highest point or at least a memorable point in your past. The deadly thing about nostalgia is that you always enjoy an event more after it's already happened than when it's happening.
1. I have nostalgia about the good old days of the late 90s.
2. If you've never experienced nostalgia, you will.

nostalgia blindness

A condition in which fond memories of something cause a failure to perceive it objectively at a later time.
Thanks to my nostalgia blindness, I feel that movie I saw when I was six years old is still great, even though it doesn't hold up anymore.
