Fan Casting Born in the Wrong Century in Sort by Tropes

There's a certain type of character who yearns for Ye Goode Olde Days, when things were more exciting, or simpler, or better in some other way. Or maybe they feel they'd fit in better in a time other than their own. Or maybe they're just history buffs and would like to have been around when all that history was happening. Maybe it's the romance they miss. Or maybe the character is an inventor ahead of their time who just can't convince anyone that their crazy ideas could make a benefit for mankind, or a sci-fi buff who only wishes that all those stories about spaceships and flying cars were real, or a subculture waiting for the time when the world will be ready for them. Or, conversely, they might be a master of an Obsolete Occupation that would have been really impressive back when it was cutting edge a few hundred years ago. No matter what the reason, though, this character feels that they were born in the wrong century.
