What do you miss about the 90s

[whytesnow]

Watching the x files just now got me thinking about the 90s

Programmes like the queens nose, fun house, art attack
Bubble backpacks
Inflatable chairs
Sugar and mix magazine with free makeup
The start of Jacqueline Wilson books.
Going to to the library with a huge pick n mix and read any Jacqueline Wilson books or do homework
calling friends after 6pm on the landline
Cheap bus travel
Jerks and frosties sweets, they never do those now
Tgi fridays
Fish fingers and potato waffles and spaghetti hops and Tottenham cake on a friday at school
Butterfly hair clips
Coloured mascara
Hair mascara
Popperjogging bottoms
Printed neon spaghetti strap dresses
Noisy dial up internet
Ask jeeves

Good times

Gazza crying.

Looking at my flat stomach in low rise jeans and a cropped bandeau top, belly chain and belly button piercing and thinking I looked amazing.

My flat stomach 🤣
I don't know if I getting old, but it felt like a much simpler time. In a weird way, as good as they are cellphones have been the worst invention (so I miss the freedom of not having a cellphone and the internet I guess)

Not being nostalgic about anything just seemingly endless new horizons ahead..

I loved the 90's I had just graduated and was living off Portobello Road in London. We'd go clubbing in Manchester, London and Birmingham every weekend. The music was amazing. As mentioned there were no mobile phones or social media.

My boyfriend from back then, every man I’ve dated since then has been shit 😂
My youth
Being an adult but not having adult responsibilities (in college)

The music
"Spectacular" makeup
Woolworths
Body Shop being cheap enough to spend my weekend job wages in
Triple vodka redbull for £1.99 in my local
Clothes were brighter and fitted better
Full sugar everything

Follow knee deep in the 90s on Instagram / it’s my favourite account!

Live music. Before the introduction of the music licensing laws meant few pubs could afford to have bands. We used to see different bands every week, generally for free.

Platform trainers
Silver eyeliner
Miss selfridge
The music (all of it)
Clubbing
Going on a night out with my £6 pocket money and getting wasted.
Snogging
Natural eyebrows
The body shop
Wonderbras
School crushes
Smoking
Weed
Summers on the beach
Camping in fields
My youth
My figure
Hollyoaks when it was good
TFI Friday
Watching Friends for the first time

Everything. I bloody loved the 90's

Goes to raves 😂🎵🎵🎵
I miss the guy I should’ve stayed in a relationship with 😢

The smell of a zippo lighting a Marlboro Light on the beach

God I can’t read this thread, it’s making me cry with nostalgia!

All these posts about doves and Mitsubishi's. I'd totally forgotten that there were brands lol

I was a child then but definitely -

• 1p sweets - they don't exist anymore!
• Woolworth trips where you could get pick and mix and 5 sweet packs for 99p/ £1. They would cost each about 60/70p each at least today!
• Cheesy 90s pop - i put it on every so often and entertain my DD1 who is 5 and went through a phrase of loving the Eiffel 55 song!
• The original impulse fragrances as they are not the same now
• Mizz magazine - where you got a voucher for an item at superdrug in pretty much every edition for body or hair glitter
• My grandad 😔
• The original crystal maze show
• Children's tv shows like Blue Peter and Byker Grove
• Rainbows/Brownies and Guides

Just everything. 1994 - 1996 was ‘peak-nineties’.

🤣🤣 100%

Smoking in pubs and clubs

Hope and optimism

Grunge, Diamond and Pearls era Prince, Jeff Buckley. Never was a Brit pop fan. Early 90s were my peak teenage years.

Everything. My teens were all in the 90's and looking back it was wonderful.

No constant fomo as you didn't have a clue where other people were most of the time. Cost of living was fine.

I think I fully grieve that time now.

Brit pop gigs. Raves. Tfi Friday and top of the pops. Caring what was at number one. Sat night tv schedules. No phones everywhere and brands weren't that pervasive except Levi's and converse.

This!! You're so right x
