Subject: When Nostalgia Was A Disease
Written By: Voiceofthe70s on 04/30/20 at 1:29 pm
Interesting article from the Atlantic. I just came across it, I'm surprised to see it's from back in 2013, but there you go.
Sample paragraphs:
"People who like to bring up old Nickelodeon cartoons at parties (you know who you are) should be grateful it's not a few hundred years ago. We'd have license to leech them, bully them, and maybe even bury them alive.
These were some of the treatments proposed for nostalgia during the 17th to 19th centuries, when it was considered a psychopathological disorder--rather than a blanket term for fondness for anything that existed more than thirty minutes ago."

Is the World Health Organisation aware of this?

I think they were onto something. This forum can be very negative sometimes. It's not as bad right now (surprisingly) as it was a couple of years ago. A lot of people think bad music or bad TV shows are a source of their misery and their lives will magically get better if they hear a Top 40 pop single they like. In reality they should be getting treated for depression or whatever it is they have, being nostalgic over avrose coloured version of the past is not going to make you happier or keep you grounded to reality.
