Your 90s nostalgia (Bar's open).
Discussion
Since Radio 2 has decided to reincarnate the Evening Session for the week, BBC 2 is showing Ian Hislop pondering the British obsession with the past, it's been a long day and the bar is open; I got to pondering fondly about the 1990s when I was in my formative years. I got my GCSEs and A Levels, went to University, made lots of lifelong friends (and met a few hate figures/comedy villains), passed a few woman related milestones etc....
Thought I'd ask, what do you remember fondly from that time? Here's some of mine to start:
The grunge scene
Big baggy grungy jumpers
DM boots
Indie music - obvious choices but also stuff like Gene, Ash, James, Supergrass, Lush, Elastica, Echobelly
No jeans, T-shirts or trainers to get into a club
Pulp Fiction / Reservoir Dogs
"Curtains" hairstyles
Ben Sherman shirts
Kickers
Late night rutting on parental sofas
Cheap as chips student PoS motoring
Drinking st beer with good mates in secluded places, beach/woods after dark etc
Ripping up deserted chalk pits etc on st early mountain bikes
Airfix
Superclubs
Spaced
Labatts Ice
TVR
X Files
Alicia Silverstone
Senna/Prost
Hill/Schumacher
Murray, obviously
Men Behaving Badly
Volvo 850 T5R (still would!)
The first internet chatrooms
I'm thinking mainly pre-www and pre-mobile phone 90s, good times or rose tinted specs?
I think On and Different Class in the car tomorrow.

I still miss listening to John Peel. I did so much homework for school, college and Uni listening to his shows.
He's the 1st none family person that I was gutted about them passing away.
Agreed.He's the 1st none family person that I was gutted about them passing away.
I discovered a lot of new music listening to his shows, pointlessly driving around in the evenings.

Mark and Lard
Blimey Charlie!!......Can you back off the mic please!!
They got me through many an afternoons work.
While we are on a nostalgia drinks tip:
Metz and the 'Judder Man'
Mule.. never quite sure what that was
What I was saving my pocket money for:
and what I was listening to:
Sonic the Hedgehog and roller blades. I remember spending hours in massive street games of 'street hockey'. As far as I can remember I was gash. Good at bashing in to people mind!
Something discovered later but no less indicitive of the 90's - music. I think that music in the mid to late 90's had a zenith of sorts. Rock/metal, trance, dance and even pop. So many excellent songs, almost like a decent regurgitation of the 70's!
