<p><strong>Insta-Nostalgia</strong> <em>(noun)</em>: Glorification/yearning of or for a period in history that only recently ended, or is still occurring.

<p><strong>Person B</strong>: "Yes, I remember yesterday."</p>
<p><strong>Person A</strong>: "Man, those were the days, back when you could still go to Roebling Tea Room or Union Pool and possibly see Maggie Gyllenhaal hanging out, or wait in a long bathroom line without it being a big deal."</p>
<p><strong>Person B</strong>: "Those are still 'the days,' you're just suffering from insta-nostalgia. By the way, would you like to buy this totally analog iPhone 3g?"</p>
<p><strong>Person A</strong>: "I would love to purchase your retro device. So cute!"</p></blockquote>
