I never missed the Middle Ages so why is my brain programmed to feel bad about something from 10 years ago no longer existing or becoming irrelevant? More precisely I'm afraid I will become a boomer at some point where I try to keep up with the trend but would say things like "if only it was made in the 2000s" for inexplicable reason or simply unable to enjoy the present altogether simply because they had nothing to do with the prime time of my life.

Eh, it's part of growing up. It's okay to feel like that.
I still haven't gotten over my dead childhood MMO but... Mm.

Nostalgia hit me hard once I hit my 20s. I've lived in the past ever since.

isnt the problem less about you being too old and more about being unable to enjoy things? are we just getting more depressed and gloomy as we get old? i dont think theres a reason why we shouldnt be able to enjoy newer things

>>625759 I feel this is a time thing. Like, if you've experienced a certain something novel in your childhood, you've built a special bond with it as it is your first introduction to that brand of "thing", giving you the biggest emotional response. As you get older and that "thing" is iterated upon it will become new, it will become better, but because you've built such a connection to its previous form, you are unable to experience the same emotions as you used to.

>>625759 but because you've experienced something that's newer and better, you cannot go back to the older "thing" as you are much more likely to notice glaring flaws in it compared to the newer "thing". It's a self-fulfilling curse of time.
