    It’s not just for old people. Anyone old enough to have a beloved piece of media can be targeted through nostalgia. You think Disney was going for ‘old people’ when they made all those direct to VHS sequels? Every stand-alone sequel to any original piece of media is a gimmick to milk your nostalgia, even if the original is only from a year ago.

    Nostalgia needs to be returned to its original status as a form of mental illness.

    If you aren’t old, does that mean brain rot will be nostalgia? Like a concentrated form of rot?
