Nostalgia Cessatio Pragmatica

(Nostalgia, paused pragmatically)

Dosage	Zero (0) deployments of 'things were better when' or 'kids these days' for 30 consecutive days
Frequency	Continuous
Duration	Permanent practice
Refills	Unlimited — 2006 will, apparently, remain behind patient regardless of how often it is cited

Side effects May include the specific restlessness of a conversation that moves forward rather than backward, the phantom urge to 'just mention how music used to be,' and — critically — the observation that the golden-age patient had been citing was, on closer examination, a specific 18-month stretch of patient's own adolescence rather than a collective cultural moment.
