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.

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

Matt DC, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 12:33 (sixteen years ago)

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

Mini-backpacks (black patent leather)

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.

Oh man, I've seen the King Blues. This is the wikipedia description, just imagine the horror:

The King Blues are an Acoustic-Ska band accredited for fusing ska and acoustic folk together with influences from Punk and Hardcore. They originate from London, England. Influences include Public Enemy, The Clash, The Specials and Minor Threat.

ok so this is whats coming back, really you kinda need to reinvent the most horrible aspects of the past because your trauma-repression impulse is what makes everything you tried to forget seem really fresh in a couple years

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.

dog latin, Wednesday, 24 March 2010 12:58 (sixteen years ago)

Possibly first time since the Edwardian era

sketchers

Never went away.

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:

googling random bearded theory acts.

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

holy lol at the bearded festival

ALLAH! *rolls on floor* (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:13 (sixteen years ago)

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

?!?!?!

Most of the first mucky raves/festivals I attended were psytrance affairs. In the 90s

Scatman John was not trashy shit from Europe, he was awesome shit from America.

Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Farting in Space (NickB), Wednesday, 24 March 2010 13:22 (sixteen years ago)

The time to revive Scatman John was many years ago ;_;
