You would think that thinking of the good old times, longing for those times to come back would simply be a good and positive thing but unfortunately it carries along more negative traits than positive. It makes you closed minded. You think your previous time with something old was so good and so profound that you aren't capable of mentally letting something new and better help you have a better time. People's current great moment will never be as great as your previous greatest experience.

Nostalgia just ain't like it used to be.

Probably.
I mean... MAGA is partly based on nostalgia for some past that only existed in their head.
Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.

There's nothing inherently wrong with nostalgia on its own, but you're right that it does limit perspective, and in some cases is used to bolster traditionalist views.

its not so much that nostalgia is bad

as it is that pandering to nostalgia is bad as that just leads to death of creativity

Read this gave me a kind of epiphany of sorts. Nostalgia in some degree could be looked at as depression, depending on your mindset. Especially if youre longing for things to go back to how they once were.

It's fine to remember the past fondly, but you can't live in the past. You've got to be able to say that chapter is over and it's time to move on to the next.

I think the world was better when the internet wasn't belt-fed engagementslop and games and movies weren't focus-tested or safe yearly iterations

that's pretty much it for nostalgia
Why not go all in?

So nothing right now can ever be better than those old times?
