90s fads?

Post by CrazyHorse » Mon Oct 20, 2008 1:18 pm

Anyone remember fads of the 90s?

No, not the DIY store that used to be on Great Moor Street but things that were massive in the 90s for about five minutes each. A golden age of one-off nonsense that we all wanted a piece of...Not me of course - I'm far too sophisticated for that sort of crap but the rest of you did.
I'll start the ball rolling with:
Beavis and Butt-head.
'Saturday Night' by Whigfield.
The GameBoy colour.
Those confusing all-in-one vest things that women wore that fastened on the snatch with a couple of press studs.
Tracy Island.
The Hitman and Her.
Girl Power.
"yoof" TV.
Tamagotchi.

Any more for any more?

Black jeans with bright red/yellow/blue arses, and black back pockets. Don't know the name of them, but they were all over the place in the early 90s. Disappeared around 93.

Teddies? Been around for decades, haven't they? Often lapse from fashion because of the dire consequences when laydeez forget to inform their unknowing amorous suitors, who subsequently innocently attempt to lift the top off with a flourish as one would a T-shirt.

Angry girl music by that Canadian thing with the massive gob. Played God in Dogma.

Alanis Morisette. Thank Christ that was short lived. Menstrual music at it's worst.

She is still quite popular and Jagged Little Pill (1995) remains the best selling debut album by a female artist (30 million copies world-wide and tenth best selling album of all time). Chacun a son gout, as Alanis might have said...

Guns 'n' Roses - the most dangerous rock band in the world. To themselves.

Nirvana

Metallica's Black Album

The Wildhearts

Terrorvision

Pearl Jam

Soundgarden

Iconic sounds for a fantastic decade. Suddenly it was cool to like rock music again and wear black canvas jeans tucked into cowboy boots like it never went out of fashion. The early nineties was the favourite time of my life so far, in terms of selfish endeavour.

Surely Premier League stickers were around before the nineties?

Admittedly not Premier League (since it wasn't called that), but Panini football stickers? They had full teams for the top division, and smaller entries for the lower leagues. And Scotland, because that doesn't count, either.

And then there were the World Cup ones.

I still recall John Warke having some sort of special gold one at the front of the Espana '82 collection.

Maybe you're right actually, I only thought they were only done for International tournaments 'til the early 90s but you probably know better than me if they were big before then.
