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

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

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

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.

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

Were the late 90s the only time it was acceptable* for white guys to be a bit on the porky side? All that frat-boy nu-metal stuff had its fair share of bloaters.
*i realise i am using a very liberal definition of the word "acceptable" here.

Other things that could be revived ironically or not:
Early '90s Queen Latifah mutlicolour leggings and fruit hats and zebra stripes in your music video and all that kind of thing?
British magazine telly - Big Breakfast/TFI Friday/Don't Forget Your Toothbrush/The Word/They Think It's All Over/Eurotrash/ITV Chart Show/Motormouth/What's Up Doc etc?
And Big Beat? No not the Chems, I'm talkin 'bout Midfield General and BRA!
Nike Air? Reebok Pumps? Puma Disc System?
WWF, Hulk Hogan, Legion Of Doom, Suburban Commando, Cool Runnings, Desert Strike bubblegum cards, Micro Machines?
Sheffield House/Bleep-Techno?
Mid-90s Britrock - Skunk Anansie, 3 Colours Red, Placebo, Groop Dogdrill, Therapy? ?
Trashy shit from Europe - Rednex, Whigfield, Mark Oh!, Scatman John etc.
BTW these were all on the shelves at Sainsbury's Hitchin (the only place you can buy CDs any more in the whole town) when I went shopping last night. The revival is inevitable:

UK psytrance at it's best - overflowing with energy, adrenaline and positivity, including stomping didgeridoo and searing guitar riffs throughout.

psytrance is the most '90s style of music that didn't exist in the 90s.
