I've been thinking a lot recenlty about this. It's very odd to me to think that 1995 is so many years in the past and to think of all the technological advances that have occured since then. Saying that, I don't want to be younger than I am, I just feel odd. I'm 28 now and can't readily relate to alot of what I see in current youth trends- it just looks crap to me and yet I generally don't feel old. Discuss! .

 I'm soon to turn 26, so 1995 is over half a lifetime ago... I was only 10 when I discovered Pulp... scary to think I've been a fan for so long...

I had a similar feeling the other day when I mentioned a Pulp show that I realised was 11 years ago. It made me feel old but I'm not really. Got into Pulp when I was about 11 so that kind of gives you a head start.

I got into pulp when I was 19, which would be almost 16 years ago. I do not feel old, though, and I try to follow current trends as much as I can. I don't like everything, but I didn't when I was younger, either.

I do however remember being quite amazed the first time I got into a band comprised of people younger than me!

I can't believe my parents didn't stop me listening to a band who only sang about single mothers and sex

My mother used to sing along to Sorted For E's & Wizz. My dad stopped me listening to 'His N Hers' (song rather than album) in the car once... with my grandparents and my uncle in the car I can kind of understand his reason for that now!

Oh dear, you're all making me feel ancient as I'm the same age as Nick... But it says something about the extent of Pulp's appeal

Although i'm only 30, i feel really old now sometimes, so i agree with Sleeve. Our time was really the mid 90s early 2000s, things have changed a lot since then and although we wont be as has been as the previous generation technology-wise, the good old days are over. People are different now, society is different.

At wireless, it was my first time seeing pulp and that was really weird, one week later i cant really feel like it was for real. It was surreal in fact. Now i understand people who never really managed to forget the 60s or the 70s. It must be even harder for them to live in our world. But tbh, it feels good to be a little out of this society. We never fit, if only for a few years between 95 and 96, now it's back to being misfits. And i like it.

Remember getting Different Class just after it came out. I was 7 I think, very young eh? It was one of my first CD purchases but I remember my tape collection already had modern life is rubbish and parklife by blur. I had a load of those shine compliation CDs too... weird... I can't imagine a 6 year old saving up all their pocket money for a parklife cd these days

Anyone remembers the times of adverts for penpals in Pulp People, paper fanzines (we had Tournico Pulp in France) that were the only way to hear about gigs, writing letters to other fans in order to exchange tapes ? No mobile phones nor internet nor Youtube back then... somehow everything was more complicated yet perhaps more valuable.

I still remember the first time I went to an internet cafe to check the Pulp People website... it was my first time on the web and I was completely lost! Now I work in ecommerce :)

different class came out when I was 1 - I don't really remember first hearing Pulp because I was brought up hearing common people. That and brimful of asha by cornershop are the two songs I liked most as a child (not much has changed)

Tournico Pulp was probably the best fanzine I saw and the Pulp site was one of my first experiences of the internet too. URLs used to be so long!

Days of Netscape... it used to be so slow and confusing... I think it took me about 30 minutes to manage to get on the site!!! I used to write some reviews for T Pulp :)

I'm only 21 and even I feel old. Not because I miss the 90s or something though.

Was fifteen/nearly 16 in 95 when I heard His n Hers for the first time when my mate borrowed it from a library and it changed my life. Pulp were the band of my teenage years and it's been surreal seeing them again as a married man of 32 with our first baby on the way. What a year it's been!

I'm 30. I became a Pulp fan in 1995, not because of Common People, but because of Sorted. In fact when I first heard Sorted I didn't realise it was the same band! At that time I had started to buy NME/Melody Maker and Jarvis was featuring pretty heavily on the cover of both publications. I then got HnH and subsequently DC, and haven't looked back!

 mmm, half the band are older than me, so I'm probably as ancient...

Discovered Pulp in my twenties.

Strangely, my first exposure to Pulp was the Do You Remember The First Time? documentary when it aired on channel 4. Which led me to the song and then later bought Common People and His N Hers and God now look at the mess we're in!

Vaguely aware of them when a friend invited me to the Do You Remember the First Time launch party at the ICA and I couldn't go - something I've always regretted! Really got into them after seeing them perform at Glastonbury '95 (on tv sadly, as I couldn't go because I was a postgrad and in the final phase of the deranged writing-up stage) and, like many others, they really blew me away. And, of course, I couldn't resist a band that had a song with my name (which had always seemed very uncool) in it...

 I feel even more ancient now, as I got into Pulp around 1993, and saw them at The Garage at the end of that year.  And Babies had my name in it (not ArrGee funnily enough), but that wasn't the reason I got into them.
