Nostalgia is preferring record albums to cds and videotapes to dvds.
Nostalgia is preferring a mediocre old movie to a good new one.
Nostalgia is when you prefer Mae West and the Three Stooges to today's movies because modern films have too much sex and violence.
Nostalgia is when you like art films because they're in black and white.
Nostalgia is when you prefer a tv set with a round screen the size of a postage stamp to one with a flat screen the size of a billboard.
Nostalgia is calling Russia "the Soviet Union."
Nostalgia is remembering when libraries were quiet.
Nostalgia is watching a 70's tv show on home video you never would have seen when it was on television.
Nostalgia is remembering when sports arenas kept their names.
Nostalgia is longing for the days of wholesome entertainment-like go-go girls.
Nostalgia is reading about plane crashes and hijackings and longing for the days when transportation was safe-like stage coaches in the old west.
Nostalgia is remembering when youth didn't do drugs-only chewing tobacco.
Nostalgia is remembering when everyone spoke Latin, not just the Roman Catholic church.
