Asten Does Nostalgia

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

🎧 My Life in Music Hyperfixations 🎶

If you really want to understand me…
don’t ask what I listen to now.

Ask me what I was obsessed with.

Because my life hasn’t been one long playlist —
it’s been a series of very intense, slightly chaotic music hyperfixations 💀


👶 The Beginning – The Pop Girl Era
The Spice Girls. Obviously.
Full obsession. No skips. Personality trait unlocked.


📺 The Disney / TV Era
Singing along like I was the main character in
Hannah Montana
because why have one life when you can have two??


🎤 The Concert Awakening (2002)
Seeing S Club live and realising:
oh… this is who I am now.
Glitter. Music. Chaos. Core memory secured.


💻 The YouTube Deep Dive Era
Headphones on. World off.
Random songs no one else knew.
Including The Balloon Song by Manzini 🎈😭
(not on Spotify, still iconic, will defend forever)


🪩 The Boyband Era (Permanent)
Enter JLS.
And suddenly I wasn’t just listening to music…
I was FEELING it. Living it. Becoming it.


✨ The Present Day
Still me.
Still obsessed.
Still building playlists like they’re emotional support systems.


The thing is…
every phase felt like “this is it. this is who I am.”

And in a way?
They all were.

Because every song I’ve ever hyperfixated on
has shaped a little piece of me.

Even the random ones.
Especially the random ones.


So yeah…
my music taste isn’t random.

It’s a timeline 💖
