Blockbuster nostalgia is weird. They had the worst selection, worst prices, terrible vibes and their late fees could legitimately bankrupt you. Back in the day they were universally hated, you went there if you had to. F tier experience. Local mom and pops were slightly better but it's rare that people actually hung out at one of thee kinds of places unless you knew an employee. Big cities had some exceptions (I Luv Video in Austin) but mostly 90s style video rental places going away is fine and dandy.

Yeah this is more just nostalgia for collective decision making around content and spending time with your family. 

Like most millennial coded nostalgia, it's putrid and boring.

Do you have examples of good millennial nostalgia?

if you dont like millennial nostalgia that's OK

Yes, it is inherent to nostalgia, and it's why some people like nostalgia maxis want to ensure that you only learn from their nostalgia, because you didn't experience it, or if you did but experienced it differently, no you didn't. You are absolutely right to recognize that by not experiencing it you are unlikely to be able to experience the feeling of nostalgia for it. 

The brass tacks on the whole thing is that nostalgia maxis of any generation are the ones most likely to whitewash factual actual history. 

If you didn't experience the 40s and want to learn from it you'd be doing yourself a disservice by only learning about it through nostalgia, or nostalgia coded XYZ. If your only understanding of the 40s came from nostalgia for the 40s you'd be mistaken about what happened in the 40s or the realities of the 40s. 

Overall it sounds like we're on the same page.

isnt this kind of inherent to generational nostalgia? I cant understand 1940s nostalgia in the way that it happened in the 40s. I can appreciate it and I can even try to learn from it. but if I didnt experience it, then I cant know it as my own or more importantly feel nostalgia for it

I don't like nostalgia when it enables gatekeepers to gaslight people into homogenized interpretations of complex concepts or experiences. 

But I get the sense that we're not going to agree on what millennial nostalgia even is
