10 Things… That Were Socially Acceptable in the Noughties

Everyone loves the 90s. Pogs, bicycle shorts, neon, snapbacks and tomagotchis have such a special place in hearts and minds. Do you know why? Because talking about the 90s distracts people from remembering the noughties – the genuinely most mortifying decade there e'er was. We were batsh*t crazy back then and the below analysis of acceptable behaviours proves such. Demanding someone wb at the end of text messages Hey hun! Wat u up 2? Wb x Seriously, mortified. Asking your crush who they fancied on MSN Messenger Do you like anyone? But do you like like them? Subtle. Showing off the 24 choooons on your Creative Zen And bragging that it only took ten hours to download them all from limewire. Thief. Divulging all your secrets to strangers on Faceparty and MySpace U free 2 talk? Christ on a bike. Knocking on your friend’s door to see if they wanted to hang out Super needy.   Spending your weekends hanging out at Central Bank/ Temple Bar/ Asha Listening to The Dresden Dolls or Fall Out Boy on the aforementioned Zen. K. Getting your tragus pierce in George’s Street Arcade And rocking that silver ball for 4-6 weeks. Inspirational. Spending all your credit sending an MMS on your Motorola Razr And it was probably a Piglet inspirational quote.   Trying to nail Eye of the Tiger on the Dance Machine because Tucker inspired you https://youtu.be/YWQc6NnhFOg?t=11m4s You definitely look deadly. Going out dressed in Parachute Pants.  Mother of God.
