The joys of leaving youtube just to run in the background. There are some amazing gems to be found like this one 😀

Depends on the evidence chosen 😉

- 1990 was the 80's fallout, very confusing times.

May I offer exhibit B:

And C:

If you want a shit song from the 90s ,have this one.
The young lady did make me watch every time it was on MTV though.

Well, that's not how I remember it, but, er, well, on you go....

P.S. still listen to the black grape album occasionally but had never seen the video until now. Thankfully.

That Black Grape tune apparently annoyed the Pope 😆

I like the Pope 'cos the Pope smokes dope.

Apart from non period tyres and saddle. If those factors weren't bad enough the tyres aren't lined up on the valves. Shocking!

Arguably "the nineties" is the name of a decade, singular, so "was" may be correct even if it sounds clumsy. Eg. "The nineties was a good decade / the nineties were good years."

Yep, all those things happened in the 90's, and?

It was fun to remember, and not all bad 🙂

Still not sure what point you are trying to make MR, except that with the aid of google you remember the 90's.....

Apart from the stem, seatpost and extra chainrings that Kona has aged pretty well I reckon.

Oh god I remember that Army of lovers song, well video!!

Black grape = tune, pulp Babies = tune, both from great albums IMO.

except the handlebar is in a different postcode to the head tube and the saddle height would induce altitude sickness. Think that rider needs a bigger frame.

Apart from non period tyres and saddle
both arguably consumables (couple of unlucky crashes will trash a saddle) tyres were pretty rubbish back then anyway

Sorry, my identical bike doesn't have those either. After 20 years I think that can be forgiven...

Puked quite a lot while watching 6 seconds of the first video.

There was some true class though, example

Bring me some aspirin, some rope and some valium
Turn on the gas rings and call the Samaritans
And sit back and take in the gospel and bible
Of the lip smacking, jaw breaking, rip roaring 90s revival

Ah - 2Unlimited. I used to have a massive crush on Anita Doth whilst dancing madly to that in the wildness that was the Eastbourne club scene back in the day... 😀

Just about getting into the nineties was this:

I quite like this

"I'll show you mine, if you show me yours"

"I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow you"

"If you ever get lonely, play with your toys"

Are we allowed ??

One of the reasons the 90s were great, and the 00s, and now the 10s, and probably also the 20s.

From 1991, saw them two or three times, absolutely thrilled beyond measure they've announced two gigs at the Roundhouse twenty years after they broke up:

Oh, how I love this band, just the thought of Toni Halliday makes me want to go and lie down in a darkened room.
Oh, I already am! That's a bit of luck...
