[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Inspired by the nostalgia of the JFK Jr Love Story series, I’m wondering what it would take to adopt a 1990s vibe for the summer (or maybe the spring).

What would it take to attempt to recapture that simpler time?

Silence my cell phone

No internet outside of the house, and only for specific tasks (no mindless scrolling)

Going out more with friends. Just for fun. No big plans.

Going dancing. (I’m probably too old to go clubbing, but I’d love to be out after dark listening to music with friends.)

I won’t smoke, but every time I see Carolyn light up it takes me back to having a cigarette towards the tail end of a drunken night when everyone is standing outside of the bar/club/party trying to decide where to go next. Sigh.

Simple clothes and makeup. Not fussing with my hair.

What else?

I guess you weren’t in college in the early 90s. People still smoked…especially when out drinking.

Anyone fellow Terps remember how smoky Planet X was? Or walking outside of Tracks on college night?

Anyway, I haven’t had a cigarette since the early/mid 90s and even then I wasn’t a regular smoker.

But people still smoked…especially young drunk people. [/quote]

PP said “most people”. Some people smoked.

But it’s gross and most did not.

You just weren’t part of that scene I guess.

Singles and Reality Bites (among other films about young people during that time) had a lot of smoking.

And I guess you didn’t date tortured souls like some of us. Sigh. [/quote]

I’m in the “I never smoked” and “smoking is gross” camp but if we want to be real, if I was out at a bar at midnight and I had had more than six drinks, I was probably bumming a cigatettte off someone if it was available.  I think even for non smokers it was super common at bars if you were drinking and out super late.  I would say over the course of my entire life it was something between 20 and 100 cigarettes.  Hard to count since I was wasted.  I’ve never purchased a cigarette.[/quote]
