Asten Does Nostalgia

Where nostalgia meets chaos, and Daisy won’t shut up about it

🌸 You Had To Be There… (90s/00s Edition) 🌸

A cosy stroll through the bits that live rent-free in our nostalgia brains.

Some things today’s 25-year-olds just won’t feel the same way we did:

  • Saturday mornings flipping between SMTV Live, Live & Kicking, and Diggit while your cereal went soggy.
  • The sound of dial-up internet screeching — and your mum yelling “Get off! I need the phone!”
  • MSN nudges shaking your screen when your best mate wanted your attention.
  • That Friday night trip to Blockbuster, when picking a film felt like life or death.
  • Your pride when you upgraded to a colour screen Nokia (and still spent 3 hours on Snake).
  • Standing in Woolworths, clutching your coins, deciding which CD single to buy.
  • Watching Top of the Pops countdown and practising the dance moves.
  • School discos with Cha Cha Slide, glow sticks, and 10p crisps from the tuck shop.
  • Disposable cameras capturing the night — then waiting days for Boots to develop them.
  • And of course, Woolies pick’n’mix. Enough said. 🍬

💖 If you know, you know.
