I don't really like the hyphenated "no-stalgias" in the lyrics. Just because it's in the title doesn't mean we need them in the lyrics, do we? The title is just combining the "no nostalgia" into a single "word", while the lyrics have them as two words (that are not one word; that are "no" and "nostalgia"). The word is normally "nostalgia" without hyphen, and is being used in that context in this song. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:19, 23 September 2020 (UTC) | I don't really like the hyphenated "no-stalgias" in the lyrics.
