Why Do We Feel Nostalgia? 

Isn’t it weird that day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back everything is different

It's weird knowing that future me will probably be nostalgic about this current time period in the future

nostalgia is a hell of a drug

"returning home" and "pain" really does sum up nostalgia for me

The fact that this video is 7 years old makes this nostalgic too 😭😭

“But what IS nostalgia?” **Vsauce music starts and makes us all nostalgic**

Last seen online: 5 years

This had to have been my new personal record on the game. Thanks Michael (yes I’m watching for the first time in 2022)

"James May, from the youtube channel Headsqueeze" Top Gear does not exist

P.T.S.D is just spicy nostalgia.

So we learned what nostalgia IS, but how much does nostalgia WEIGH?

It’s been 10 years. This video is now giving me nostalgia.

"James May..." from Top Gear? "...from the youtube channel Headsqueeze"

James may and Michael was the crossover i never knew i wanted.

nostalgia sometimes makes me sad that the future wasn't as good as the past.

I’m 23, and for all you teens out there, I have one piece of advice. When you go somewhere for a few days that you know is gonna be one of the best things you’ll do for a while, (for example, for me, it was a school football tour with my mates, and a trip to Germany with my best friends), listen to 4 or 5 songs only, whenever you have the time in that trip. They don’t have to be songs that u love, and u can do other things while you’re listening. What that did for me was, whenever I listened to those songs in the future, I had such nostalgia. Please, just try it.

nostalgia is like a happy heartbreak

I bet in twenty years time I'll get nostalgia from hearing the vsauce music.

Minecraft on a cool summers night

nostalagia... makes me always sad. Am I the only one?

Everyone else gets happy I just get depressed and miss it so much and remember that it's never coming back

Nostalgia is the painful beauty

In a few years watching a vsauce video will give me nostalgia

Me: Why do we feel nostalgia? vsauce: good dancers are more desirable as mates

He got off-topic at 00:01. That's got to be a world record.

This just shows that if I press random notes on a keyboard wait 50 years later… and play the exact same notes… it’s nostalgic…

Ahh i remember my old molecules Such nostalgia😥

Vsauce: the game Me: I was going on like 2 years and now it’s all ruined

I often go to certain videos and be like damn that was that long ago. Instantly start to feel nostalgia This is a prime example of it. 2013 😔 😢

"Why do we feel nostalgia?" *turns over to James May* Yeah that seems about right I miss old Top Gear.

old minecraft music is nostalgic for me,

why does christmas not feel the same anymore 😔

nostalgia about top gear Man I loved that show

You know I’m really glad I found this video. Because every so often I just get nostalgic about the first month after I was born I can remember everything from back then. I lived in my aunts house while my mom went training for something with EHR or something. I remember playing connect four in the kitchen of my aunts house. Eating the wax fruits thinking that they were actually edible. Playing with the light bright in the hallway but best of all snack wise, eating a honeycomb cereal straight from the box. Playing with the ceiling fans and the pump organ. (which I have in my house now). Boy I could just go on and on and on and on about this but my little fingers can only type so much. When I got that old pump organ back all those memories are flooding in and there was a song that kind of started to represent that it’s called the chill piano guy is ambient by MK and the song abruptly ends just like those memories in my aunts house she no longer lives there anymore so I’m really sad about that. Before we continue if you’re reading all of this you’ve got a great reading skills! And I’ve got great typing skills. Anyways, just like the memories ending seemingly abrupt. That song ends abruptly. I really get really sad about it sometimes because things were crazy after I was born and when I was in that house the first time I ever felt at peace. I’m kind of starting to tear up a little bit. But of course you can’t hear me through this. thank you for your time. 😢 ❤ also please consider subscribing to my RU-vid channel actually posted a couple videos about that organ I talked about.

I'm already heavily nostalgic of happy moments from only six months ago...

I can't imagine a world without music.

What is nostalgia? Talks about atoms

I feel nostalgic after watching this video 10 years later, time sure flies by!

"Wish we could turn back time... To the good ole' days..."

Why do we feel nostalgia C418 sweden: Cause I’m here

bruh the cues, rhythm, and even the lines from these videos are all locked in my neural pathways from when i was 13 binge watching this. this shit feels so meta-nostalgic now a decade later, it's kinda unreal dude while i'm at it, i have to credit this channel for playing a big part in my life. it taught me how fascinating this world is and how to think about it more critically. i was raised in a cult, and if i didn't learn how to think critically and for myself, i never would have learned the fallacies to f their logic. thank you for being a beacon of knowledge in this world

I feel nostalgic for things like toy story, yoshi, and some songs I know the tune of but not the names... I get depressed sometimes just because I miss seeing these things as a kid. Now, my friends think of me as a nerd when I have Buzz Lightyear on my Apple Watch. But it brings me back. A sad-happy feeling. 😢

i feel depressed whenever i felt nostalgia...

I remember first watching this video on my old futon in my old bedroom in my old house, none of which exist anymore. This video brings such a wave of nostalgia. Congratulations Michael, your video about nostalgia gave me nostalgia.

Vsauce: "The Game" Me: *starts screaming in the middle of the night*

SERIOUSLY?! YOU KNOW JAMES MAY AS A RU-vidR?! HE'S JAMES MAY! JAMES! MAY!

Don't you remember one minute ago? Yeah, good times. It all passed so quickly.

C418 - Minecraft Volume Alpha - Sweden

I love the idea of words not existing yet and just being feelings

I went over a decade without thinking about The Game. Thanks.

Michael: "Cheesecake and music are not necessary for survival." Me: "False."

How to feel nostalgia 1.) Get on WoW 2.) Go to Grizzly Hills 3.) Listen to the music 4.) Cry for 5 hours

I watch older Vsauce videos because of nostalgia.

Gonna say one thing that'll make everyone nostalgic 009 Sound System

EVERYTHING WAS BETTER IN THE 90'S HURR DURR IF YOU DIDN'T GROW UP IN THE 90'S YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CHILDHOOD HURR DURR

Micheal: Why don’t you feel nostalgia for how this video started? Me who would literally sell my left kidney to experience these videos for the first time again: I do, Micheal, I do…

Old Vsause videos make me nostalgic.

Nostalgia...Wii Sports and The Mii Channel theme song..

Time flies. 6 years since 2013 already. I'm feeling nostalgic.

I'm feeling nostalgia with this video

I get intense nostalgia thinking back to this test I studied months for. I would sit at the same desk with the same soundtrack almost every day. It's almost an "iconic" memory to me, and every time I hear one of the songs from the soundtrack it instantly brings me back. If you want to know, I failed that test lol

9:14 acoustic cheesecake

Friend: I have to get off Me: okay but we’ll play tomorrow. Right? Friend: yea. Of course. Was last online 3 years ago

"Why don't you feel nostalgia for when the video started?" 9 years later: "I do."

Vsauce thought process: "It sure is cloudy today..." "Am I real? Are you real? What if we could travel at the speed of light? Are we alone in space?"

Nostalgia hits hard

Watching this video helps me cool down my nostalgia for real

I got nostalgic, so I came back here.

Voldemort: I just really miss my nose Doctor: yes, I can confirm you have NOSTRALGIA

The piece James is playing at the end is La cathédrale engloutie by Debussy. Well worth a full listen 🎹

Don't be sad that you can't go back to the good memories you've had. Be happy that you experienced them in the first place. Even if you could go back it would never be the same. Cherish the memories you've had but always make room for more. :)

Michael: "Or... the game." Me: "Goddammit, Michael!!!"

Currently, I’m in a state when thinking about the past where it feels like a ear worm for me, I’m not hating nor rejecting it.

I don't get nostalgia from music... I get it from video games...

Who remembers the PBS programing. Between the Lions, Dragon Tales, Cailou, etc. Those were the days...

00:19 "thanks for the music" "pleasure" *plays dissonant*

The most nostalgic things is hearing old music

I feel nostalgic for this video!

I feel nostalgic for 2007-2013. Granted, I'm sure there was quite a lot of bad in those times, but since I was a kid, I didn't have anything to worry about.

James May is also from the British Top Gear if anyone's has watched that.

Nostalgia is remembering the good times, but feeling sad you cant relive those times

James May- From Top Gear!

PS2 start up anybody? Nostalgia at its finest.

Why do i feel nostalgic when listening to songs from a time before i was born !

but why do i feel nostalgic of a time before i was born??

Nostalgia is fun. I was playing the msot recent pokemon games, thinking fondly back on the time when i first started the series. How special it felt. So I went and played it again, as of course I still have all my games. I had forgotten entirely that you had to switch PC boxes manually, and if you don't, you can't catch pokemon til you do. And then something used Wrap on me. It was a great game and I had a lot of fun with it, and I had a lot of fun playing through it again. But its clear my nostalgia was a little... too assertive in certain regards.

"Who are you?" I've been asking myself that question my entire life!

This video (from 9 years ago) is now nostalgic to me 😆

I miss the days when I was nostalgic. I used to think about how great things were. I really would like to go back to those days again.

Why does this feel like a blues clues episode in the begining

TOPGEAR!!! :D Your my favorite James :DDD

Its nostalgic to watch a video about nostalgia.

Nostalgia existed in Arabian Poetry hundreds of years ago, it is a type of poetry called "Bouka'a ala Atlal" where the poet cries on the land he used to live in looking at what's left of it.
