Most people revel in nostalgia, but I hate going into it too much. There is something tragic in remembering only the good parts of the past, but not being able to come back to it.
Yeah, nostalgia slop is especially egregious. Current generation of film studios yank on the nostalgia lever way too hard. For fuck sake, quit remaking movies and make new ones.
It’s a kind of beautiful type of pain for sure. My biggest issue are with the people who make nostalgia their entire personality. Remembering back to when there was 150 Pokémon should not be a personality trait.
Same. In my social life, over indulgence in nostalgia has generally been an indicator that somebody holds shitty core beliefs.
I don’t mind nostalgia so much as I mind its effects on me. I know, rationally, that things were not as good as my emotions are telling me.
When the past had a larger bit of good to bad over current I sorta get it. Whats funny is people reveling in nostalgia during pretty good times but there is something to that as well as we gain things sometimes but we lose things all the time.
