Toxic nostalgia was very much something that consumed the whole of my life in the years after my mum died (I lost her when I was 17 but did not feel the loss completely, devastatingly until my college years). It got so bad that I ceased to be able to function, socially or academically and finding work was impossible. I got through it eventually with therapy, support from my friends and my dad and still engaged in fond looking back, a healthy kind of nostalgia if you will, My dad died last year and this loss I seem to have handled very differently. Yet there are days.. Very difficult to explain, to put into words. That was an amazing start to the podcast, entertaining, funny, witty, warm and deep and it surprisingly (or perhaps not) it helped me a lot to correct the course of this Monday that seemed to be heading the wrong way. So thank you and please do continue
Amazing podcast homie!! You and Andrea are so cool. Talk about nostalgia, where do I begin? For me, when it comes to music, my multiracial family were the ones that got me into everything from Nat King Cole and Benny Goodman to The Temptations and The Beatles and so on. But it was really my mom who definitely had me into all the good stuff since I was a baby from Parliament-Funkadelic, Commodores and Earth Wind & Fire to The Police, Hall & Oates and Billy Idol. But it was Prince who really changed everything for me to not only being a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and musician but as an universal black rock musician. As a matter of fact, it was my mom who took me to my first concert which was Prince. It was the Lovesexy tour at Civic Arena on October 28, 1988 which was 25 days after my 6th birthday. And I had the time of my life. Though I did wish I was closer near the stage or met him. Definitely would love to see more of the podcast.
What a pleasure it is listening to you two wonderful ladies talk, fun podcast, looking forward to more, Love your reaction vids, wishing you all the best...
5:37 - There were a couple theaters near me that sold the colored popcorn. It was different flavors. We had red which was watermelon. Pink was cotton candy. Green might've been apple or maybe lime. I don't remember if we had blue and what it might have been. But no, it was not The Mendela Effect for you. It was a real thing for awhile! 😊
Love this topic! Interesting to hear about music as a potential negative nostalgia, because for me, music was my escape from negative things, one of the joys in my life, so most of the nostalgia I have around music is positive. For me, my boy band was New Kids On The Block, and remember making a pact with my best friend as I left India for the U.S. that I would send her New Kids On The Block cassette tapes back from the U.S.
Miracle Whip no mayo in my apartment. I love toast with peanut butter and couple of slices of honey turkey. Oh Lord, it's so good Conway Twitty was my favorite singer growing up..
Re. nostalgia variations - there's a Portuguese term 'suadade' that's used to mean... yearning for something that cannot be attained, and can be applied to a feeling of nostalgia for a time/place a person did not ACTUALLY experience, but have a knowledge of, or an idea of. It's... a slyly intoxicating thing to feel. Melancholic and yet... one cannot help but indulge in it. Like a good red wine.
My parents when i was 12 got me and my two older siblings waterbeds and they had heaters to warm them up.Well once they got the first electric bill those were turned real quick,i grew up in the northeast so needless to say during the winter months sleeping on those beds was like sleeping on an ice block. As for weird food stuff for me,i had ketchup on lot of things.Ketchup sandwiches no meat just ketchup and bread or if we ran out of bread,just bologna with ketchup.
I was born in 1971 and every time I smell roses or taste peaches it reminds me of my Granny who was the sweetest soul ever. Music from the 70's and 80's brings back all the memories of playing with my Barbies or riding our bikes around town with my radio tied to the front of my bike. My mayo sandwich also had a slab of bologna and froot loops on top, I haven't had it since I was a kid but i loved it.
At this point, I don't do nostalgia, if one means it as "wanting now to be like the past"...though of course there are features of the past that I miss, albeit within a context that was otherwise unhealthy/painful. Sure, I'm sentimental and feel intense attachments to old things that I feel unable to part with, but that's different. If I could go back to my much younger self and say something, it would be "I promise, you will be loved". And also, "this will all make sense once you get dx'd as being on the autism spectrum at age 30". Truth. I'm 51 now, and the things which bring me back to my past are songs from the late 70s-late 80s (when I was listening to current pop music on the radio the most). It's eerie when I'm at the grocery store shopping and I hear (for example) "Burning Down The House" by Talking Heads playing over the store-wide speaker system...bc at the time (early 1980s), that was considered cutting edge/alternative/experimental (not mainstream) culture. Here's a couple things I miss, from back in my day: blanket/pillow forts ! I miss being a small enough creature that I could build and then hide inside that sort of thing in my bedroom. And...Tetris :) Loved that game, never had my own game system growing up so as a teen I would spend way too much time playing it at this or that friend's place. Yes, I know I could play Tetris now-but 20 yrs ago I recognized my addiction to video games & chose to give them up, bc I can't just do it a little & don't want it to regain a foothold and consume my current life.
I think you’re talking about Pop Secret Pop Qwiz Popcorn! It was popcorn in artificial colors but the only flavors they had were butter and natural flavor. I talked my mom into getting it for me once as a kid, the popcorn wasn’t that good and the artificial color stained your hands.
I assume you're talking about confetti or rainbow popcorn, which you can still get. I think some is just a colored sugar coating and some has different fruit flavors.
I was looking at your list and it didn't include the spoof movie from (2001) "Not Another Teen Movie." Not Another Teen Movie is a 2001 American teen parody film directed by Joel Gallen and written by Mike Bender, Adam Jay Epstein, Andrew Jacobson, Phil Beauman, and Buddy Johnson. It features Chyler Leigh, Chris Evans, Jaime Pressly, Eric Christian Olsen, Eric Jungmann, Mia Kirshner, Deon Richmond, Cody McMains, Sam Huntington, Samm Levine, Cerina Vincent, Ron Lester, Randy Quaid, Lacey Chabert, Riley Smith and Samaire Armstrong. Released on December 14, 2001, by Columbia Pictures, the film is a parody of teen films. While the general plot is based on She's All That,[3] as well as Varsity Blues,[4] 10 Things I Hate About You,[3] Can't Hardly Wait[3] and Pretty in Pink, the film is also filled with allusions to teenage and college-age films from the 1980s and 1990s, such as Bring It On, American Pie, Cruel Intentions,[5] American Beauty,[4] Never Been Kissed, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Can't Buy Me Love, Jawbreaker, Sixteen Candles, Dazed and Confused, Lucas, Rudy, The Breakfast Club, Grease, and Road Trip, John Hughes' The Breakfast Club (1985).
I feel like our nostalgia as millennials is so prominent because it was the last social media/smart phone free childhood. The way the internet and social media has poisoned culture makes the longing for simpler times that much more profound. The amount of conversations I have had with younger GenZ’s where they have said they are nostalgic for decades they never ever saw is because they crave the social interaction and community that we have lost. I am very grateful to be a 1989er! For those 80’s kids, this video should really bring back the memories: ruclips.net/video/Z0eflYLkI4A/видео.htmlsi=Bn5fniZQXeqqwtEm And for the 90’s kids, here’s yours: ruclips.net/video/urg0E2FlbnQ/видео.htmlsi=4rI-LUypc8i9lJSN

Religion is not the opiate of the masses. Nostalgia is. Maybe one of the foulest words in any language that has recognized and named the phenomenon. Nostalgia. Tradition. Anything that has people facing backwards instead of forwards is 100% a net negative for society.

LOL my experiences grew in the late 60s early 70s. Yeah, I'm old . . .
Talk about MOVIES that made you more of a fan of film that you weren't expecting to.

Nostalgic for the smell of smoke machines from my younger nightclubbing days.

Wait. 56mins? I thought it was Central time?

To be honest, nostalgia is more of a coping mechanism than anything else and pop culture/media is cynical AF in preying on people's nostalgia.
Religion is not the opiate of the masses. Nostalgia is. Maybe one of the foulest words in any language that has recognized and named the phenomenon. Nostalgia. Tradition. Anything that has people facing backwards instead of forwards is 100% a net negative for society.
