Still listening in 2024! I was fifteen in 1996... which makes this one incredibly relatable. Life was far more simple, at the beginning of the mass internet age. It was also a time where simple things could be enjoyed, and things weren't so complicated. There's little here to miss!!! Bring back 1996!!!

2011 - 1996 is a 15 year difference If they made a song like this in 2020 we would be reminiscing about the year 2005 Myspace, Emos and cans of monster

I think there's something specifically 1990s about this song that makes it impossible to transpose effectively. As much as anything else, it's about the insulating psychological effects of a specific kind of First World privilege that (imo thankfully) died with 9/11. The whole thing is a brutal, bitter deconstruction of '90s nostalgia and what (and WHO!) it conveniently leaves out, from "though war was breaking out all around me, my concerns were with prank calls" to a teen party full of blatant, oblivious wasting of vital resources (using water as a visible stand in).

Still listening this masterpiece

3+ months ago I fell in love with this band watching this video. Back then I never would've thought I'd 1. Love them as much as I do. Their music is amazing and 2. Meet them and have the chance to talk to them. If there's any band that deserves support and recognition, it's them. I can't ever repay them for having them making me feel so great at Bumbershoot--so I'll just say it everywhere and anywhere: they are incredibly talented guys, write relatable songs, and they are incredible to their fa

My favourite song by an incredible band. This song makes me nostalgic, sad and immensely happy all at the same time.

Favorite song from The Wombats!

Born 1996 and I've fucked up my life immensely from drug habits, toxic relationships, endless partying and finally left feeling empty. Make your choices wisely kids, my chaotic life began at 10. Make better decisions than me 🙏

LYRICS: I had no cares in the 1990's I knew of no downfalls The war was breaking out all around me My concerns were with prank calls She kissed me on the cheek She kissed me on the cheek Right in front of the older kids When my self-belief, my self belief Wasn't scarred by the modern itch 'cause now it feels like We kissed with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Using fairground rides just to spark her smile This little hit to miss, bring back 1996, bring back 1996 So hard to beat those teenage kicks, bring back 1996 We were cloning sheep in the 1990's We were building telescopes And sugar filled the whole of my body As I edged it all to grow I kissed her on the cheek I kissed her on the cheek Just to impress the older kids But my self-belief, my self-belief Wasn't lost in the modern glitch 'cause now it feels like We kissed with one eye on our TV set And the more I give, the less I get Using fairground rides just to spark her smile This little hit to miss, bring back 1996, bring back 1996 Stop talking, stop talking I need a lover not a friend tonight I'm leaving, I'm leaving I'm not cut out for the modern life I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks I'll never beat those teenage kicks Bring back 1996

Honestly, as somebody around your age, I used to think this way a lot. Then I got diagnosed with autism, cut a lot of needless energy draining habits out of my life, stopped trying to shame myself into conformity, and suddenly found myself happier than I remembered being since I was 7 years old. Whenever your personal "1996" was, you enjoyed that time because you appreciated it in the moment, you weren't overextended, and your life was full of things that met your needs and made you happy. That can always happen again. :)

Best way to wake up, starting with the newest wombats video and then ending up here. Feels good.

The Wombats are such an awesome band

Their style is particular, it goes across some deep electronic influences but it never gets far from the rock spark and I think the rock side mainly affects and leads their choices! They recently caught up with a new album and it looks superb, magically embraced by alternative hints and some lovely chorus as in the usual preferences of the band! The sound can be quirky at times, it makes you imagine the space, a love lost or even the relief of being close to the ones you love! These are the right emotions the album grants me, listening to the alternative artists always help you overcome the pointless commercial tunes! If you get over the boundaries you wipe out so many bands because you understand they were not as deserving as they seemed! The Wombats never let you down, they have a groundbreaking sound; only three guys providing the sound of an orchestra! It'd be needed to play along with ten members if you thought to be that impressive! They break the mould and scare teenagers off! They write for lighting up the keenest fans, basically to spice up our souls! I'm addicted to this all and I'm not ashamed of showing up with such a powerful mark! Let's carve it into your heart! Promise yourself that you'll never betray the alternative rock scene! If you agree with all of that don't shirk clicking thumbs up!

this song is reverse optimism with optimistic intent. its not pessimistic. its momentary reflection and awe in a realization and probably disappointment in the fact that it occurred afterwards rather than within the moment being reflected.

I really love this song. I constantly think about how I want to live back in the 90s. Although I was born in the early 90s, I really embraced that decade. I believe that music and movies were the greatest then.

I was born in 1984. Having spent the bulk of my childhood and early adolescence in the 1990's, I can confidently state that this song is so absolutely accurate.
