Nostalgia is associated with a longing for the past, its personalities, possibilities, and events, especially the "good old days" or a "warm childhood". There is a predisposition, caused by cognitive biases such as rosy retrospection, for people to view the past more positively and the future more negatively. When applied to one's beliefs about a society or institution, this is called declinism, which has been described as "a trick of the mind" and as "an emotional strategy, something comforting to snuggle up to when the present day seems intolerably bleak".
Anemoia is a feeling of nostalgia for a time one has never known. Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows describes it as a poignant longing for a past that is not one's own, a past one has only experienced through media, stories, or imagination. This feeling often arises from exposure to old photographs, movies, music, or stories that evoke a sense of a romanticized or idealized past. Someone might feel anemoia for the 1980's punk/ goth scene, even though they were born in the late 20th century, or for the aesthetic of 2000's boy groups/ girl groups/ emo or pop punk bands being everyone's most talked about topic, and magazines displaying gerard way's faces or pete wentz guyliner tutorial, even though they've never felt the vibe irl.
