nostalgia

An endless cycle of longing for the past.
Here is a story about nostalgia.

Once upon a time, a man was born in 1947. His childhood in the 50s wasn't that good, but when he grew older, he started to hate anything past December 31 1959. Several years later, he gave birth th a child in 1967, who became nostalgic for the 70s, and said anything past December 31 1979 was awful, while his father hated the 70s because of nostalgia. The son later fathered a son born in 1987 with childhood in the 90s. The old man's grandon later said anything past December 31 1999 was crap.

Anti-nostalgia

Unlike nostalgia, a longing for something good from your past and reflecting on the good old days, anti-nostalgia is when you remember something shitty from your past and being glad things are better now. The bad old days.
Jake: Bro, remember back in 2010 when we used to play Halo together on the Xbox 360? Those were the good old days, huh?

Nathan: Nah dude, I remember in 2010 when I was about to get a 20 kill streak in Reach and got the red ring of death. Had to get a new system. That shit gives me anti-nostalgia.
