Len Cnut Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) No, it was a load of bollocks. Boring. I mean you remember stuff but like, your mind deletes the fuckin' bad stuff cuz the only reason you're looking back is cuz you're not getting something out of your today.But really like, OK, everyone like 'ooh, The Big Breakfast!' and, y'know, OK, nice little telly show and 'oh i remember when such and such was on!' but like, i also remember that sinking feeling in my stomach that I've gotta be in school in half an hour too.'Weren't it great, grunge and all that, yay, plaid shirts and moping about!', it's worth noting that when a fuckin' terminally miserable genre of music finds popularity in a particular time it's worth toying with the notion that a great many were not having ever such a spiffing time.And Britpop, now i always liked Oasis but to be honest my like of em grew a lot more later on than they did back in the day, back then i just though, y'know, cool, they're pretty OK but really at the time i wanted bands to sound like Guns n Roses, horrible, snarling, be-guitared fuckin'...horrible-ness It's easy to fuckin' get all misty-eyed about the past, you'll be doing it about this time and dogging on the fuckin' common with you're phallanx of fuckin' hoes off the Heath, when your wrinkley old man todger starts to resemble Paul Hogans neck it will please you to remember even this, young man And these people looking back fondly on Britney Spears and the fuckin' Spice Girls want fuckin' shooting as far as I'm concerned In the face, so their mothers can't have an open casket.

DieselDaisy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 It was like any decade really: lots of awfulness combined with nuggets of brilliance. I think my overriding memory of the 1990s is, that it was boy/girl band crazy, and England were awful at cricket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I tell you what was good was the fuckin' boxing, Roy Jones, Pernell Whittaker, Barrera, Morales, Naz Hamed, Benn, Eubank, James Toney, Floyd Mayweather Jnr, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar De La Hoya, Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, of course my man Mike Tyson, the baddest man breathing, Julian Jackson, Gerald Mcllelan, Bernard Hopkins, list goes on and on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 England were much better at football. We were still semi-shit in the sense that we never won anything, but not completely shit like today. And we were producing goal scorers like Sherringham, Fowler and Shearer.

DieselDaisy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The 1990s was also the time of Cool Britannia and British ''lad'' culture, reinforced by bands like Oasis and films like Trainspotting and Human Traffic. It basically became fashionable to look like an uncultured oaf and adopt a skinhead, drinking larger from cans while munching on Kebabs - the 'chav' was just around the corner. As a counterpoint to lad culture, you had what was coming out of America at the time which basically consisted of, lots of spotty kids in baggy black jeans, listening to Nirvana and talking like Arnold.

MB. Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Seems you did the 90s totally wrong Len. So not boring!If I think about the 90s, I don't think about of any of the music you mentioned. I think of Carl Cox, DJ Dimitri, Marcello, The prophet, a young Tiesto etc.To me the 90s was all about House music (techno, hardcore, trance), awesome dance clubs and the first huge raves. The party scene in Amsterdam ruled in the early 90s !Also the 90s had ravey shitty music like 2unlimited, .That was shitty indeed Edited April 25, 2015 by MB.

MB. Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The first couple of Berlin Love Parades!!! Carl Cox was huge (well he is, but also in fame) in those days. I am not a big Tiesto fan my self. But I sure had fun at those raves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 The first couple of Berlin Love Parades!!!
