Do you nostalgia a lot?

So I was just listening to one of my old favorite songs that I had forgotten about, and memories of Ichiban Ushiro No Daimaou, and X3 Terran Conflict came rushing into my head, because they were the anime/game I was watching/playing when I listened to that song a lot.

This sort of thing happens to me all the time, but does it happen to everyone else?
(I like how I always use nostalgia as a verb. lol)

If you're talking about enjoying songs, movies and or TV shows from your childhood? Then I would say yes, I do like to see and hear the stuff I liked as a kid. Unlike a lot of you here, I'm a child of the 1980's. The original Transformers, Thundercats, G.I. Joe, 80's music, 80's movies...

I love anything 80's. Heck, I even like old shows from the 1970's!

Not much does it happen to me... But sometimes it does. It should happen to people once in a while (unless they're freaks).

I remembered playing Megaman Starforce (which I hadn't played in like.. 2 years D=). So I miss it, and might play it again. ;]

It happens to me from time to time.

Example...because I was linked to a YouTube video containing the song, "I Just Can't Wait to be King" from The Lion King, I spent the entire subsequent week looking up every Disney movie from my childhood and watching them again. :D

All the time. ): My mp3 player is full of 90's classics: Third Eye Blind, Sister Hazel, etc. And it's weird, I always associate certain songs with very particular childhood memories just because they were on the radio at the time.

But it's not limited to music. I enter nostalgia mode whenever I see old TV shows, games, books, etc. I remember recently watching TV late at night at a friend's house and I flipped when The Nanny came on. xD

Most definitely. I'm even making an animated film about nostalgia this year because this speaks so strongly to me.

I don't reminisce all the time because I'm usually on the hunt for new experiences, but every so often I do indulge myself in the past. Being from the 90's, Disney songs and movies, old Pokemon episodes (and older cartoons/anime in general), Fresh Prince, Bubblegum pop and boy bands, all pretty nice stuff. :x

I experience nostalgia a lot, actually. '70s and '80s music were a big part of my childhood because my parents were teens in the '80s. And then there's Pokemon. And playing my favorite video game franchises is probably invoked by the nostalgia I get because their core gameplay is the same now as it was in the versions I first played. ^_~

Nostalgia is my favorite <3

Everything from classic rock that mom played all the time to movies and cartoons I grew up on from the late 80s and early-mid 90s to late 90s pop/rock to items and games I had/played as a kid. Even old 90s commercials get the memories going. Often, the more obscure/long-forgotten the memory is, the better it feels to remember and enjoy it again. Most of the video games I play are ones I've played and replayed for ages, or ones I had long ago, lost, and got a new copy of recently.

Finding new stuff to enjoy is always great and keeps things from getting stale, but sometimes you just can't beat a good nostalgic binge :3

I always feel nostalgia every time I hear Hijo de la Luna by Mecano, No Rain by Blind Melon and Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz because those were the songs in my childhood.

I also feel nostalgia when I watch the first season of the Pokémon Anime and if I play with my Nintendo 64 or my SNES.
