No, the 1990s didn’t smell of sex and candy. It smelled of a banking crisis and a box of 3.5" floppies.
2020s smell like nothing because COVID
Everything everywhere before the 2000s smelt like cigarettes and old smoke, it was rancid a fuck.
Good lord yes. It was glorious.
I miss it so much.
Coming home from the pub and your clothes and hair reaking of cigarette smoke
Who’s saying they don’t still?
For starters, it’s been illegal to smoke indoors in my country for over 20 years
Okay… what about that stops someone coming home smelling of smoke?
You don’t get exposed to it in the pubs at all?? So unless you self inflict, chances are almost non existent to come home smelling if the cancers
So absolutely nothing then.
Farts and sandy
I can tell you right now, the 2020s smell like shitty depends, cheap cologne, and dial soap.
Or burning.
Yes, but what about for those of us outside of the Oval Office?
2010s: Axe body spray
That was more 2000s than 2010s.
LOL 2000s was what I typed first, then I remembered Leslie Knope remarking about Tommy Haverford being surrounded by “a dense cloud of Axe body spray” which was like in 2011 or 12. I figured he would be using whatever was trending.
It was just as pungent around 2006 and probably earlier.
I remember it being a thing when I was in highschool, but that was late 90s.
Late 90s, early 2000s was peak adolescent Axe usage. I entered high school in 2003, right when the fad was peaking. Which is good because it covered up the stench in the PE locker room.
PE locker rooms and axe are a terrible, terrible combo. Some kid inevitably empties a full can, then no one can breath.
The 2000s smelled like new tech plastic, the static from CRTs, microwave dinners, pump hand soap, and grass.
2010s smelled like hibiscus, then beach sand, then sickly sweet and rubbing alcohol.
ETA: Gas fumes were also part of the ‘00s
You could argue the 90s smelled like teen spirit too
I thought teen spirit was sex and candy?
Nope just deodorant
Specifically lots and lots of Axe, like way too much
2000s smelled like, burnt bodies, charred buildings and camels.
Too soon?
80s was clove cigarettes and Obsession
70s was patchouli and weed
My olfactory experiences in the 90’s were not like that.
Every decade before the late 2000’s smelled like indoor cigarette smoke
70s smelled like full bush.
The 80s smelled like cocaine and wine coolers.
My late 90s smelled like wine coolers and weed.
My guess is if you’re smelling cocaine something going ok.
