    Imagine a generation of people centering even their nostalgia around commercial products instead of interpersonal relationships and life experiences. Those things are replaced by products that are becoming crucial to creating it, like game consoles, commercials, printed media - just abysmal

      What’s abysmal?

      People are going to have nostalgia for the the things they grew up with.
      The house you grew up in, your neighbourhood, the school you went to, tv shows, games, whatever.

      These things don’t replace nostalgia for interpersonal relationships and life experiences, they supplement them.

        There are a few channels that will run 8-10 hour Sunday morning cartoon compliations with commercials included. For some reason I really like those even when I hate almost all other ads.
