Nostalgia is partly an indicator that current environment is so shit that it can't just be reformed or tweaked to get to a better place. Instead the best solution that people want is to time travel back to before it all took a nosedive and restart from there.
Exactly, people don't get nostalgic for the times when their life sucked.
That's not entirely true. My childhood was completely shit and I still feel nostalgia towards it. I think fondly of the poverty meals we got fed, even though I know they tasted fucking terrible.
I guess it would be more correct to say that it's perception of life sucking that really matters. As kids we don't really have a lot of expectations for the world, but as we grow up we start being able to contextualize things more.
