There was something wonderful about the 80s/90s feeling that things were all heading in a better direction for pretty much everyone. For me, it's entirely captured by this video, which is just brimming with ebullient amazingness https://youtu.be/TIfAkOBMf5A?si=e3-6PPjWbnFDwLim
It's weird, isn't it? Bush Junior, 9/11, war on terror, Iraq... it was unsettling to live through but, looking back on it, it genuinely feels like such a simple and innocent time.
Yes, caring is a peculiarly human - often adult - blessing and curse. The equivalent for me was I suppose the late 80s. All sorts of mad Cold War-type shit that my parents probably worried about was happening around me and all I cared about was Grange Hill and Neighbours.
I wasn’t born 30 years old lol. I miss the early 2000s because of entirely non-political reasons. We had a lot of glitter. Not everything has to be a political post. While you were watching the news, there was a whole other world out there. A world of hair mascara, Sabrina Secrets and sea monkeys.

I think in my next home I’m going to have a room so late 90s early 00s that it looks like Zoey 101 threw up in there 🥹
