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.

Penostalgia

1. A bittersweet longing for an ex-boyfriend, and more specifically his penis; a sentimental yearning for the happiness and sexual adventures shared with a former boyfriend.
I had a total case of penostalgia last night, so I drunk-dialled Stefan!

Oh, I'm so down about not seeing Dave anymore, all I can think about is him and the sex we had. I think I have penostalgia.

Prostalgia

(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."

Prestalgia

To predict the nostalgia that will come from something that hasn't happened yet or that is happening now.
Like missing someone before they're gone.
- You know, once you guys are living in London, I'm gonna come visit you and we're gonna look back on these years and say those were some pretty awesome times.
- Ya, I think I miss this already.
- Me too.
- Aw, I can't take all this prestalgia.
