what good stuff can you remember about being British in the 90s, films? TV? Sports?
I mainly remember that Gazza goal against Scotland, Owen’s goal against Argentina, Beckham’s free kick against Greece, Southgate missing that penalty, and both Becks & Gazza being sent off in WC matches.
Not to forget Oasis, the soundtrack for the 90s.
Oh, and Human Traffic – the last great film of the 90s !
also was the first time listened to Acid House/Hardcore/Jungle
I was on the road all i remember is festivals and partys. I’ve always been a proud brit but there aint been much to be proud of since the miners strike.

the rise of the rave scene, and the development of UK internet/multimedia art and cyberculture (not the dressing up daft to go to Gatecrasher etc – but how techies and artists worked together to build the first wave of websites and make music/videos)
In hindsight – the late 90s weren’t too bad a time TBH
Even though Blair was on the scene by then he was more like an overbearing but ineffectual headteacher than an effective control freak, the planned surveillance society wasn’t really being set up in earnest – whilst the govt and wider society seemed to turn a blind eye to a lot of stuff in the euphoria of “Cool Brittania” and the “dot-com boom” (crews could crack a new building every week and rave it – as well as have long-term squats and the cops just let you get on with it!) –
TBH I’m still amazed at what people got away with in those days.
