This has been bothering me for a few days. I can't for the life of me remember what that word is that is used to describe people who are "trapped in the past." I think it sounds like "lethargic", but I just can't remember it. If I heard it, I would remember it instantly. Can anyone refresh my memory? And it isn't reminiscent. The word has a negative connotation, I think.

Nostalgic

1. a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time: a nostalgia for his college days.

2. something that elicits or displays nostalgia.

although I know nostalgica is the right one I would like to mention the word vintage, which is a light form for younger generations ..
