Do you have misty-eyed memories of the late 90s in Britain?
Are you in your late twenties or early thirties? Did you grow up in Britain and have fond memories of Britpop, Blair and Big Brother? (Scratch that last one..)
I’m working on a wee project combining video and music of the times, and I’d love to collect memories from the time. Wow, that makes it sound like history… Anyway, we all have fond flashbacks to the age of heat reactive tie-dye shirts, and although my middle-of-the-road upbringing is chock full of happy reminiscences, I want more variety!
So, if you have a story, a memory, a moment to share from around 1992 to 2000 – for me, my high school years – and especially if it’s closely related to (or described by) a song popular in the same time period – please share it with me :) You can comment here/on Facebook, or email me (mail at jennielees dot net). Oh, and it doesn’t have to be meaningful or funny – just true.
Hmm, should I start a site to collect these or keep them private?
Here’s mine: our endless school assembly pop culture parodies. I remember dressing up as Mikey from Boyzone (I secretly wanted to be Ronan), doing a Grease ripoff for a departing Latin teacher that was, in retrospect, dangerously suggestive, and for some reason I posed as Renton from Trainspotting in front of our class blackboard in N3. God knows why. Anyway, cue montage! I wonder if kids these days do the same type of thing…
