As a lot of you probably aren't aware considering you always seem to think I'm older, I'm 19. Now, I'm sure most of you agree that this is pretty young but I'm starting to make myself feel old; I've been sitting here at my laptop and nursing a hangover whilst listening to some Britpop [I know], and its dawning on me that I genuinely feel nostalgic about the 1990s.
It might just be my sorry state of affairs at the moment [If you visit that chat I'm sure you know the long and short of it], but I really do think that the 90s just seemed like a better time. To focus on the better aspects of the decade, I really miss music on the radio that was heavily influenced by 60s Psychedelica - Primal Scream, Kula Shaker and Black Grape. Stepped haircuts, Top of the Pops, Harry Enfield being genuinely funny and Smack My ***** Up. Baggy clothing that didn't involve jeans with a belt below your posterior, Disney Films that were actually good, and Riesen Chocolate Chews. I miss a time when most people didn't have computers, when I didn't know what the internet was and a time before mobile phones. I miss when people didn't have fullblown political correctness and doom-mongering thrust upon them and when parents weren't so intent in wrapping everything in bubblewrap that their children actually had a chance to have fun and experience things for themselves.
I guess I'm probably feeling this way because its been almost 10 years since the 90s and that much has changed, but at the moment I find it hard to believe that one day I'll look back on the current decade and feel a similar way.
Ok now I have to apologise for the blogginess of this post but I started writing and I guess it spewed forth. Anyway, please post things that you miss or make you feel nostalgic.
And please, lets not just post nothing but early 90s cartoons and other tv, we've done that just under 2000 times.
