Is Nostalgia Making Us All Miserable?

[@TantrisHumble]

Thanks for watching!! Here’s a link to our Discord server: discord.gg/RJWZ8tVzwB Also, yes, I like Egoraptor. Of course. Not denying this. Arin did something brilliant with this format and I always thought it should be used more. Started animated six months ago, so enjoy the journey as it slowly becomes its own thing. Haha.

In your next video you should talk about why liberalism failed by Patrick J. Deneen and The Total State by Auron MacIntyre two of the most famous book by the Dissenters' rights

What video editing software do you use to make your video? I'm getting myself into video editing and learning to make videos as well

[@brandongovreau9218]

God is probably nostalgic about the time he was around before Time existed

"Every great empire reaches a point where going backward can seem more appealing than going forward. When the world is changing so fast, it makes us yearn for the old ways when life seemed simpler. But it doesn't mean those old ideas are good for us now." Randy Marsh, philosopher.

People in the US now probably miss the 90s a LOT. Back then the US was the king of the world. Now it finds itself losing the throne.

[@PrekiFromPoland]

This hits me hard as an avid retrogamer. Am I playing these games just to relieve the memories of the past or really these games are that better without DLCs, microtransactions, lootboxes and all this shit? Or maybe it's both?

[@senior_sakuga]

I’m feeling that longing for the early 2000s even though I’m fully aware that time period was just as flawed and broken as now. Wasn’t as toxic as it is now online that’s for sure 😅

[@PrettyboyAshtun]

also makes me feel melancholy for the past knowing there’s nothing i can to go back to that much simpler time

[@thelibyanplzcomeback]

It's the only thing keeping me sane.

[@thehypest6118]

I'll embrace something new when they stop making everyone smell like poo

[@loboqueso5392]

I kinda see the reason why around the time when 90s - Early 2000s culture gets worshipped, some people deemed that kids had it better when it comes to media. *cough Gravity Falls cough*

[@davidyoung5640]

Long story short; "I want to go back"

[@wacopaco2099]

This is the first video game analysis video that actually seems to have real research put into it. Bravo man!

[@mattsstuff907]

Your videos provide a nostalgic aura similar to KZbin from 2010 a 2014. Also I can tell you went to college for philosophy lmao

[@SuperRexProductions]

Huge EgoRaptor vibes.

Maybe it's just that fear of missing out in places. Like aw man, I wish i got to check out some more DSiWare.

[@vistagreat9994]

It goes deeper than that.

[@multilad816]

Like DEI, looming WW3, and/or 2022-2024 inflation

[@avatarmikephantom153]

This is a great discussion. Thanks

[@foundingfarther]

Nostalgia done stalled ya!

[@REALps2controller]

Nostalgic?....of the 2000s?...I never left the 2000s! What are they talking about!

[@multilad816]

I remember there was a hatred trend for mid to late 2000's American and Canadian cartoons.

[@REALps2controller]

@@multilad816 if they hatin on the past, then they hatin on me witch is a problem.

[@wesbrackmanthercenthusiast4695]

Nostalgic for stuff i wasnt even alive for,,, i feel called out,,, ive never experienced farming with a steam tractor (yet) but my experience farming with horses is night and day more enjoyable than dealing with broken electronics on a modern tractor i guess my gut feeling of nostalgia from my great grandparents stories was correct im happier with the old equipment then modern equivalent

[@NoshikiYT]

I remember stuff when I was younger like playing old video games and watching older movies etc and I’m 17 rn

[@twilightsparkle75]

3:00 i swear it sounds like youve been heavily influenced by old school egoraptor with stuff like sequelitis, and my nostalgic ass loved it lol

[@KICK839]

Disney trying to make as much live action as possible (even though) majority of them are not doing welll says a lot about corporate being their best to suck anything that can be suck

[@AdamBorseti]

Your analogy of the aura of nostalgia and the Monalisa was brilliant.

[@64bitmodels66]

😊

[@Birly-t3z]

Damn it's generally crazy i mean Can we really blame each other the world has gone to such a degree of depression we technically force us the dread of memories till our brains morphs into a flipping HOLE!!!!

[@Katsura-San124]

I think chalking up longing for the past as mere nostalgia is unfair. Can nostalgia skew our perceptions? Sure it can, but if you are doing your best to perceive things through an objective lense then nostalgia will very rarely skew your perception. Those who attack people who say that the past had many superior aspects by saying they're just viewing things through the lense of nostalgia or "rose tinted glasses" I see as either coping themselves by trying to convince themselves that everything is alright, or I see them as being malicious in nature. Whose to say that those who attack those who wish for better situations by labling them as Nostalgia Chasers aren't taking money from those who don't want people thinking about the ways that things suck now? I should clarify that I see you as an intellectual, I don't think you fit in to either of these categories. Good video as always.

[@BaldGuyElectric20245]

Some things from the past should be cherished, but not everything was magical. I mean who wants the berlin wall back? I prefer if corporations focus on creating new interesting IPs instead of making countless sequels. All good things must to come to an end.

[@Squiggy1223]

speaking of nostagia... Art reminds me of Arin Hansons videos

[@kamerondonaldson5976]

it was better but not for everyone. someone had to bear the brunt of the bad times of the era as with any era. it's less costly to use the cutting edge methods of yesterday now than it was back then nonetheless.

[@sadmeat8937]

Hollywood has a problem with the remakes and sequels you might say they have a case of sequelitis? 😎

[@multilad816]

They believe that making and releasing more well established IPs would be easy money that would be true if Hollywood respected these media franchise which a good amount of times right now, they aren't

[@AnAdalaze]

This entire channel makes me pretty sad. You guys all seem pretty depressed. I hope you can find happiness despite all the troubles of the world.

[@brandongovreau9218]

people that will be nostalgic for this year in the distant future are going to be disappointed of how horrible this really is 😔

[@multilad816]

For some, it is better than we remember like Secret of Nimh and for me, Babe's ending credits song

[@brandongovreau9218]

@@multilad816 that was years ago

[@Taima]

Nah. This is the neverending cycle. People in the 2000s/10s who were nostalgic for the 80s wish they'd lived in that time and lament their current one. There were people in the 80s who were nostalgic for the 60s lamenting their time and so on. That's just how it goes. Parents hear their kid is wishing they were born in [time their parents were from/lived through] and the parents are various levels of amused and baffled because maybe it was cool but it wasn't *that* great. It's the same sort of phenomenon as every generation thinking earlier music was better and that current music is bad.

[@IllusionistsBane]

I haven't reached the point where I get nostalgic for anything and I'm in my 30s. Then again I didn't remember much about the games I played in the PS1. Also going back to the 90s means the Asian Financial Crisis, no MRT in Jakarta, and no Whoosh HSR, and I don't really like that.

[@loboqueso5392]

I was just wondering, do you think the 2010’s are better?

[@IllusionistsBane]

@@loboqueso5392 Not really. Also, I like Touhou and I don't need nostalgia for that.

[@mickbison8817]

Ah man, Dragon Ball sparking zero is just nostalgia bait now 🙁

[@Cubeytheawesome]

Yes. 100%

[@CAPME00]

Yes, people need to move on

[@NoshikiYT]

Exactly people can’t being nostalgic over the past forever people need to move on unless they saw or watched/played the media growing up like with the Star Wars movies new and old viewers are still watching Star Wars even I grew up with Star Wars(not much but I knew the lore and I dressed up as Vader when I was 10 for Halloween) and it made me sad inside when I heard the news of James Earls Jones died on September 9th
