Once the Inevitable 90s Revival occurs which genre will be the most influetial or popular?

these days it might be considered less so, even villainous to actively withdraw from day-to-day society by contributing as little as possible.

Welcome to the 1950s

teenagers don't aspire to withdrawing from capitalist society any more. it's seen as a cliche. you don't see the characters on skins concerning themselves over such trivialities as "world issues" etc

that's possibly not the best source for kidz related knowledge, though granted it's better than having brian eno as yr youth affairs tsar or whatever

but please let's kill of that urgh-word Punk, which was always way more about the new narcissism

Hence "I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair"

Revolution of the Mind, man

No gesture so radical as etc etc iirc

Think withdrawing from capitalist society has always been somewhere near the bottom of most teenagers' priority lists to be honest.

Depends what you mean by "withdrawal"

Not getting a job has been popular in the past

when i was 14 i had a phase of wanting to join the travellers. for the travelling.

Circuses out of favour by then

... animal cruelty and all that

yeah they ran a funfair. it seemed like a sweet life.

Think withdrawing from capitalist society has always been somewhere near the bottom of most teenagers' priority lists to be honest.

Was always third on the list behind turn on and tune in.

tbf "teenagers" have only existed for 50-ish years and the word is basically marketing-speak anyway so what wd u expect?

hey what does "crusty" mean in the UK again?

like in the U.S. it's stinky punx that have tattoos on their faces and listen to bands that sound like inept slayer recorded in a 7-11 bathroom

but in the UK it's like techno music that wants to be Weather Report and everyone has dreads and shit?

It's a bit confusing because we have the former here too, I mean AFAIK the term crust-punk even originated here with stuff like Amebix/Doom/Deviated Instinct etc but the whole new age traveller/rave thing became more well known in the public eye as "crusty" and there you go.

Raggle-Taggle was a better label imo

The travellers are still out there in their thousands right? I assume that I just don't see them now because I live in London & there is no room here for their gaily-painted caravans/piss-stink campers.

Think they all fucked off to mainland Europe after The Man kept holding them down over here.

That would make sense! They always were fond of the 'dam.

It did annoy me circa 1993, when I got my politics from the nme, that it meant anti-bypasses, not washing, jugglers, dreads, didgeridoos, Back To The Planet and so forth. I quite like driving on bypasses, and none of the rest has ever featured prominently in my life.

I only recently found out where Newbury was too, and it made me laugh.

They always were fond of the 'dam.

Indeed...

The '90s didn't really have enough wacky fashion styles to laugh at, but certain things are definitely being come-round to.

vs.:

- Starter jackets
-Mini-backpacks (black patent leather)
-slap bracelets
-backpacks shaped like animals
-the Cher Horowitz schoolgirl look
-No Fear shirts
-body glitter
-high-heeled flip flops
-Peace sign/ying yang/smiley face accessories*
-baggy JNCO jeans
-tiny tees
-lip liner without lipstick
-Army pants
-tucking in your t-shirt in the front, but not the back
-Tevas
-choker necklaces
-crushed velvet dresses
-Tommy Hilfiger everything
-pacifier/raver jewelry

90s revival must revolve around wearing all of those things at the same time

List needs Global Hypercolor t-shirts

crustie new-age tossers vs nathan barley hipster tossers.

same breed, different time.

oh and the list needs those jester festival hats. and cropped'n'bleached hair. and "step/undercut" haircuts. spliffy jeans too. black bomber jackets could go in.

Was going to say Global Hypercolor. I'd settle for a nineties revival based entirely around The Crystal Maze.

I wore my JNCOs to Amsterdam and got mercilessly needled by a reggae coffee shop proprietor.

Green bomber jackets with WORLD DANCE written on the back.

Has the jeans fashion pendulum swung back from tight to baggy yet?

Once that happens we'll know we're in a new decade.

Mini-backpacks (black patent leather)

^ just inexplicable

Actually I take back everything I said yesterday:

Spot the odd one out on that festival bill.

if there's one thing i crave it's this.

The '90s didn't really have enough wacky fashion styles to laugh at

Sagging baggy pants will look even more ridiculous in 2025 than big late 80s mullets do today.

Has the jeans fashion pendulum swung back from tight to baggy yet?

It has to swing properly back to tight at first yet. Today they are still baggy, although more moderate baggy than in the 90s.

(Except for among emo's, but they are still considered outsiders)

looool

so ur brain has actually stopped allowing in new information circa 1998?

geir, don't know about norway but indie/hipster types have been wearing some painfully tight keks these last few years. curse these footballer's legs.

that Bearded Festival... I think my brain just fell out through my eyesockets. Jesus, just imagine being there. Actually don't, really don't!

tho

Can't wait for jeans that fit me to come back into fash

animals are banned at Bearded Theory, which must cut out half the key demographic

nothing ever dies

There's a children's area. Textbook abuse taking a kid to this thing imo

more 90s fashion:

sketchers
bowling shirts
sweatshirts tied around waste
brightly-colored fanny packs

White jeans.
