Nostalgia tax 

Price gouging of classic gaming consoles such as the Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo and other classic items based on the fact they have been discontinued long ago by the manufacturer. The spike in price varies by the seller. This is most often done by retro video game stores.

Similar to the term Drift Tax on the Nissan 240sx
Matt: I really want to get an N64 again. I miss those games I used to play.

John: You should go to your local flee market, you can get them for reasonable prices there and avoid that pesky nostalgia tax.

Matt: Good idea.

Nostalgiatard 

Grown adults who are stuck in past and think that decades like the 90s were flawless. They're founded everywhere on social media and they hate certain things and technologies just because it wasn't from the decade they grew up with, but if someone likes those things then the nostalgiatard will force-feed you dumb excuses and call you names. They appear in all kinds of medias such as music, cartoons, movies, books, etc. Most of them usually spam these "only 90s kids know this" posts on social media sites. They have a large habit of comparing old media to new media. The "90s kids" who constantly brag weren't even from the 90s and were born in like 1999 trying to look cool. They always say that the 00s+ kids had a bad childhood even though every decade had its flaws and often stereotype the younger generations. They're founded in lots of YouTube comment sections, especially music videos. Most young kids are also nostalgiatards who weren't even around in decades like the 50s or 80s. They really love to hate on games like fortnite, cartoons like teen titans go, and music artists like justin beiber and make hate art and send death threats to the people who like those medias.
Person 1: I like TTG and S4+ SBSP!
Person 2: Dude those shows suck and you have bad taste!
Person 1: Ok nostalgiatard!

Cartoon Nostalgiatard 

Someone who only like the 90s and early 2000s cartoons and hates every cartoon afterwards. Their mostly millennials living in their mother's basement watching cable tv on their mother's old cube tv spending their lives ranting about cartoons like modern spongebob, TTG, on sites like YouTube oftenly saying that those who likes the cartoons they dislike have bad taste. Not to mention that they watch kid cartoons and rant about them but if you mention that they'll use the statement "animation isn't just for kids" it's true that animation could also be for adults but that doesn't mean you don't still look stupid when you rant about kid shows directly aimed for kids up to the age of 10 in your 30s. Lots of them are also enterbots and don't have their own opinions and blindly hate modern cartoons because other enterbots hate it.
Person: I like Kamp Koral and TTG...
Cartoon Nostalgiatard: Dude those shows suck and you have bad humor, at least we had good cartoons in my day!

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
