I miss those days even though I wasn't alive.

About This Quote

The definition of miss according to the Oxford Dictionary is "to feel a strong emotion or nostalgic longing for something that is no longer available, wanted, or enjoyed." The person using this phrase is expressing their regret that they were not alive during an era when they would have enjoyed the opportunity to experience the things that are lost. The person who said this may have either been born in that era or had some connection to it, such as a relative who lived through the time.
