Because remembering 'what was' leads to contemplation on 'what could have been', which often makes us regret 'what is'. It is this regret which we most fear. It is essentially a fear of having missed out. Since Lemmy seems to be going classic memes, imagine the Bad News Bear meme saying, "it only gets worse with age." Seriously. It sucks.
