Part of the reason I miss the 80s and 90s was because I was still a kid and didn’t really have to worry about all the things adults were worrying about at the time. Now I feel like the only way way I could have a relatively stress free life is if I find a quiet corner of the country and cut myself off from modern society. I lived 17 years without the internet, I can do it again if I truly commit to it.

It's sad really, the things that made us happy in the past are the very things that keep us from forming new happy moments. I didn't think nostalgia was a bad thing until I thought about. What would I be doing with my life if I didn't spend any time on nostalgia?
@safvan74
When mentioned how people feel nostalgic when something goes wrong in the present, it is so true because I remember during the lockdowns, it was the perfect environment for an introvert like myself. I was going out more and not having to deal with so much noise and the crowds. Life felt so peaceful. Now post pandemic, it feels like everybody is out again trying to make up for lost times and I begin to miss when things were less hectic.
@junebyh
I live in the 50/60/70/80/90s but feel so hard to live today because it’s too chaotic, social media and the fame like you mentioned
@stinksofbeefio
Nostalgia for the 90s is so prevalent, for those who experienced it and those born long after 1999, because we all know deep down that the world peaked in the 90s Nostalgia never makes me happy anymore. It just makes me deeply, deeply sad.
@issa25yo
This video opened my eyes. Prior, nostalgia to me were positive memories with the people I’ve loved and cared for. But you made a good point, it does make me a bit lonely thinking of the past with those who I’ve lost and lost connections with. Regardless, still thankful to have had those memories ❤️
@sapphirelane1714
I am nostalgic by nature, and I’ve been trying to work on staying in the present moment for my child. I try to remind him that childhood is such a tiny part of our life, and to fully take in being a child and being in the moment now. I feel like I rushed my childhood away thinking of the future and longing to be an adult.

For me nostalgia is a type of time travel to simpler times where you once again "indulge" in the positives of your past. Although feelings of emptiness and sadness are inevitable, it should be embraced imo. It's a way of coping with your present struggles and a refreshing breather from your everyday life. It's as if you're stuck between two dimensions... You're in the past and present simultaneously... Aaahhhh, I love it and will indulge in it the best way I can! For it is a very fleeting moment... Then you will teleport back to your real present and continue with your life as usual.

Let me tell u why nostalgia makes me feel good. I was born in the 80's. As a kid, my parents gave me and my brother the best childhood. I felt safe and loved. I had friends, that were always there for me. I do not remember anything being remotely bad, besides getting bullied. But, I would wake up every morning with a smile on my face. My brother was literally my best friend. He was the oldest, and we would get into fights, but he was always there for me. Birthday parties, were epic. Everyone would show up and the entire house would be full. Arcades, video stores , movies and music were amazing. Now, I am in my 40's. Things are not as good as they used to be. I have lost family members, including my brother. We do not have birthday parties anymore, my friends moved away after getting married, video stores are gone and movies and music are crap. Everyone around the world is in conflict, everybody hates each other and all around, I feel scared most of the time with how things are going. Nostalgia is like a warm blanket, coming home to a warm house. Just for a little while, u can put a movie or tv show on from your childhood, forget your troubles and losses and feel like I used to. Safe, happy, loved. It doesn't last forever, but for that time, u are transporting to a happier time. Filled with good memories and good times. I try to capture that feeling all the time. But reality is always there. When it does, I feel alone and nervous. Yes, u have to face reality, but every now and then, why not remember the good times. Personally, I think we are all trying to find that feeling. Of how good things used to be, just to be happy for a little while. That is why toys from the past that are being repackaged are being bought by adults. Retro games and systems are being bought more than ever. On YouTube u see alot of young people saying games from the 80's and 90's experiencing what their parents grew up with and why they were so special. Life's too short to feel stressful 24/7. Now, parents to introduce their children to things they were into. So they can share and make new memories.

I was wondering why people suddenly started bringing up old trends everywhere. Like fashion, web design, bunch of aesthetics inspired by the past. Some things recent gen was low-key hating started to hype. Now it makes a lot more sense. Thank you so much I’ve watched 2 of your videos so far and I wanna say something about your vibe. You not only just talk about a topic but give a strong and motivating speech at the same time. Wow??? “Past is nice but we should move on and create better memories” I needed to hear this quote and I am sure everyone who haven’t heard it yet, should do. Having in mind the all awful things that have been happening recently I really wish we could do better memories. Every single person needs to be happy and always tries his best to be but it seems like some people is overdoing it depriving others to have happy memories. The whole Society should strive for happiness for everyone, not just some individuals U said something inspiring in the 4chan video as well but as I was writing this comment I forgot the words You are extremely underrated amazing content creator. Please don’t stop creating more and never lose the quality of information Thank you so much - your deserved new sub

I mostly feel nostalgic for things I never experienced or was too young to remember. I was born 1996 and my earliest memory was from around 2000.
@chrismuratore4451
Glad to see a fresh upload from you, my friend. I hope all is well. Nostalgia has been universally affecting all of us throughout this pandemic. The ending was inspiring. We can indeed make good memories going forward. Remember the moments when we feel like everything is going wrong, yet somehow, when we look back on those periods, we can always seem to find some silver lining or something that made it all bearable. These current times are no different. We will look back in 10 years and remember fondly something that helped us make it through this unusual time.
@SheraNom
That was so impactful, this topic is definitely close to me, thank you for sharing! Nostalgia is such a strong feeling...

@jonahperry6103
The holiday season nostalgia is what gets me, realizing that we will never be able to go back to to Christmas at grandmas or the party at school before going on break.
@bsulivan6435
My parents shared their nostalgia for the 1940s 50s and 60s and as a child I appreciated their memories for those times. Now for me it’s the 80s and 90s because I lost so much of my family due to death and the fact that my country is being destroyed from within and I am being abused by my employer where back in those earlier times 3/4 of my family was still alive and people like my employer would be deep trouble and the country had good decent people who would protect the country.
@MrAsianPie
Moving forward is pretty difficult when you feel as if the peak of your life is already behind you… I’m not even out of my Senior Year of High school yet though I might as well be on my deathbed as I usually spend my time reminiscing my middle school and elementary years… lol
