A wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to a past period with your bro or bros.
Dude: Yo, let's steal the napkin-holder from this bar.
Widowed-Bro: . . . nah (disappointedly turns away)
Dude: You alright man?
Widowed-Bro: . . . (Thinking about a time he and his bros took a road trip to New Mexico and stole a horse-cop's horse and used it to commandeer an oxen and 12 hundred dollars worth of cattle)
Dude: Dude!
Widowed-Bro: Sorry . . . just thinking about this thing me and my bros once stole
Dude: You need to stop being so brostalgic and live in reality.
Widowed-Bro: I can't help my brostalgia. I loved Ted "T-Killa" Jones. He was my main bro . . . Goddamn it! I told him not to play 13 consecutive games of Flip Cup with Everclear grain alcohol. (A single brostalgic tear rolls down his cheek)

Prostalgia 

Share definition Flag
(N.) The renaissance of culture and technology of the late 19th - mid 20th century, followed by "Prostalgia" or "Prostalgics". This culture movement is infused with modern day accommodations, and is based in the Baltimore, MD/Washington DC area, (which are major Hipster hot spots) and this movement is the classier brother of the hipster movement.

How to spot a prostalgic person;
What music they like, what they wear, and they're overall appearance tend to be that of your grandmother/father when they were young. These people tend to be confused with Hipsters, however, prostalgic people tend to uphold old values and ways of life, only using modern luxuries when strictly necessary. Prostalgic people also are connoisseurs of class, whereas hipsters have modern lifestyles infused with only a small bit of old world items.

Pure breakdown of prostalgic people to average people;

Avg. Person - 90% modern, 10% vintage
Hipsters - 80% modern, 15% vintage, 5% Starbucks
Prostalgics - +70% vintage, 30% modern

Here is an example of a Prostalgic being recognized at a cafe;
"Hey, is that a hipster over there at that cafe?" She asked.
"No, he's just prostalgia." He said.
"How do you know?"
"He's using a typewriter instead of a computer, see."

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
