Cute boys with long hair and flannel shirts
Kurt Cobain is God
Sonic Youth are the saints
Battered Converse Chuck Taylor’s
Listen to Pavement all alone in your room
Go to your boyfriend’s band rehearsal
Live carelessly
Hang out with the Art school kids
Baggy clothes and vintage finds
Start painting
Riot Grrrrlsss
Family
Write diaries, fill them with doodles
Decorate your guitar and your Marshall amp
Doc Martens boots and corduroy men’s trousers
Discover European cinema
So much future, so much promise.

Yes to it all…such a wonderful time :)) x
Growing up in the 80’s:
Iron Maiden
Helloween
Celtic Frost
Guys in skinny jeans, all stars and loooooong hair
Metalheads
Headbanging
did I mention Iron Maiden?
Writing love stories where MIchael KIske is the love interest
after writing scifi stories where all members of Duran Duran are the love interest and having that story read aloud to the class by your geography teacher when you’re in seventh grade
Being 13 and thinking you’re as cool as any twenty year old
Ballet classes
Headbanging
Metalheads
some more Iron Maiden, just in case!!
I was a teen in the 80’s and it was damn goooooood!!!
A decade lost on me, I spent it dressed in 1970s clothes and trapped in a job I loathed! x
leggings and hippie dresses,
rock&roll and leather jackets,
a boy in martens and skinny jeans (he still makes my heart beat faster)
university, friends, literature, art, coffee, cheap wine…
oh yes, it was not so bad!!
beijinhos
Can you believe it’s been 20 years since Kurt Cobain took his life? That list pretty much describes my experience of the 90s, too. Only Eddie Vedder was my god. (Still is, sadly…) Good, good times. :o)
The 90s were awesome. I look back on it with much fondness.
