fauxstalgia 

1. A feeling of yearning for a time in the past, even though you may never have experienced that time yourself.

2. Thinking the past was better than it was, simply because your future hasn't turned out the way you wanted it to.
"Whenever I hear 'Piano Man', I get the weirdest wave of fauxstalgia..."

Looking through her highschool yearbook, Nancy suddenly became fauxstalgic.

Fapstagram 

When a person uses their Instagram solely or mostly to stalk (sometimes follow) members of the opposite sex and fap to them.
Tom has got quite the fapstagram. He doesn't ever upload any pictures, but take a look at his search history; they're all women.

fauxstalgia 

A fake feeling of nostalgia for something old you didn't actually experience - like Instagram filters and throwback branding from before you could actually walk.
The 20-year old said the X-Pro II filter in Instagram really gave him fauxstalgia for the good old days back in the 1970's.

falstalgia 

a misguided feeling of nostalgia,
a longing for a past that:
1. really wasn't that great
2. you weren't around for
When I hear music that reminds me of my crappy old school, I can't help getting a feeling of falstalgia
