"They think of a pleasant past experience, and the memories they bring to mind have a positive influence on how they see their own life."Īccording to the research team, this approach overlooks that people may have different memories depending on their mood - whether they’re experiencing a good or a bad day. "When people are asked to describe something that makes them feel very nostalgic, the positive elements dominate," David Newman, the study’s lead author and a Ph.D. They discovered that in previous studies, participants were usually asked to recall past events that made them feel most nostalgic, which usually lead to recalling positive and fond memories. However, while it may seem that nostalgia is a primarily positive emotion that lifts people’s spirits, psychologists at USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences have found the opposite may be true.

This online group graced the internet in 2013 and has gained a strong foothold on the platform.
"We place a special emphasis on music because this subreddit was created after annoyance over 'born in the wrong generation' attitude often expressed by fans of 60s/70s rock." "This is a subreddit dedicated to satirically mocking those people who, blinded by their own nostalgia, believe certain things in the past to be unequivocally better than today," the moderators write in the subreddit’s description as they welcome members into the page.
