“We seem to be going through a period of nostalgia, and everyone seems to think yesterday was better than today. I don’t think it was, and I would advise you not to wait ten years before admitting today was great. If you’re hung up on nostalgia, pretend today is yesterday and just go out and have one hell of a time.”

Nostalgia, where the past is preferred over the present, and not just fond memories of the fuzzy past, is usually just a neurosis.  On the other hand, thinking that we’re going through more nostalgia now than before is sort of the reverse, I think.
