Paranostalgia

Grief over the loss of person/place/time period never experienced and (probably) romanticized.

I once came across a photo of some glamorous New Wave kids standing outside a club in 1980s London and I felt an acute sense of paranostalgia.
Sometimes I feel paranostalgic listening to my mom's old 1960s vinyl LPs.
