My Decade.

Being a 90s kid, you take for granted the times that you lived in.  A lecture today, gave me more than I have ever known about the decade that I was born in and not just take it for granted as a time that nothing exciting happend.  Whenever I think about the twentieth century, the 90s never seems to hit me as anything major.  It is always the 20s, 50s and 80s that always stick in my mind as influential times.  But the 90s had everything to give and even more.

Grunge was a huge part of the time.  Even Colin McDowell has written a Fashion Moment on it.  Alexander McQueen was the inventer of bumsters, a look that is still very popular with about 60% of the male population aged between 12-22.

It was the era of Britpop.  Pulp.  Is there anymore needed there?  Common People and Disco 2000 are two of the most amazing songs ever.

It wasn't just a decade with one trend happening unlike the times that had gone before.  Sportswear, tracksuits, minimalsim, camoflauge.  It was all happening in the 90s. 

I am very very proud to have been born in the 90s.  The only thing I regret is that I was only 7 by the time it was over.
