    We can only assume they’re talking about my little pony.

      Oh, that makes more sense. I was going to leave a top-level comment that furries are still a thing, but you've made that superfluous.

      Which would be perfectly fine and not just because I was (and still am) part of that fandom.

      Yeah the fan hentai just doesn’t hit the same now that they turned them into humans

  You’re describing a sense of nostalgia. And no, I don’t consider it immature.

    It reminds of the sentence “you can never come home”, because the location might still be there, but the time and the people have changed.

  You can’t leave me hanging, what subculture?

    i dunno if it’s the same one, but the feelings OP described are how I felt about bronies.

    there was a time before the infestation of predators took hold when almost every person you’d meet among them was unflinchingly, unashamedly, relentlessly wholesome, sincere, and genuine. people who really took honesty, loyalty, kindness, and generosity to heart. but that kind of environment was not hostile enough to defend itself from exploitation. an object lesson in the paradox of tolerance: there are some things that no society will survive tolerating, and there truly are some behaviors that cannot be rehabilitated. there is hardly anyone around anymore from the height of the subculture around 2014…

      I was one of the wholesome Bronies. Met a lot of great people that I still keep in touch with to this day.

      The movement and the mindset really helped me in my darkest time.

  It’s not immature all to reminisce about times in your life that brought you joy.

  am I immature if I feel

  No. Never. Feelings are just as real in adults as they are in children. It’s tragic, toxic some might say, that we’ve built society to think otherwise.

  It’s not immature to miss something good in your life in the past.

  Subculture or not it sounds like you just met some friends.

  Essentially, you’re just describing a feeling of “Better Times”, or nostalgia. Nothing wrong with that, and everyone has those feelings.

  It becomes a problem when people tend to fixate on that, and not realize that time has passed. Not that you can’t create those conditions and feelings again, but that life circumstances and everything else really make it impossible to replicate that same thing again realistically.

  I think it may serve you better to focus on what about that situation made it great for you, and what practical means you have to create a similar social circle again that will approximate those same feelings. It won’t be exactly the same, of course, but it sounds like you have just been feeling somewhat lost without a similar group of people around you.

    I don’t think nostalgia and “remembering better times” are equivalent.

    I can reminisce about “better times” all day, but the feeling is absolutely different when some old stimulus comes on and punches you right in the feels.

    • just_another_person@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      As others have pointed out, I think you should read the context of what OP is saying.

      Had, then lost. Thinking about a lost time. Literally the title.

  Punks?

  What’s the point of not mentioning which subculture? It’s not exactly doxxing lol

  • frog_brawler@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Not that, they’re still around.

    source
• TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  No, it’s normal.

  What is immature is to dwell on it and prevent you from moving on with your life.

• solrize@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  Dunno what happened with your subculture but there is a recurring path that isn’t pretty:

  Geeks, MOPs, and sociopaths in subculture evolution

  what was the subculture OP??

  source
• MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I believe that is only human. Humans are funny that way. They like things and groups and get sad when you take them away.

• spittingimage@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  If you are, so am I. I was part of the BBS scene, and it didn’t survive the transition to the internet. I’ve never felt so well-understood since then. Sometimes I dream about the LAN parties and summer picnics.
