ACCEPTABLE IN THE 90's

Ah the glorious 90s. How sorry I feel for any child that missed growing up in such a golden age. I mean really, I pity them, almost look down on them, sure, in a rather snobbish manner even. You missed out on prime time Disney, cartoons galore, some of the best films, TV shows, video games, music bands, specifically boy and girl bands, brought on by the Spice Girls, Take That, Backstreet Boys, and a not so favourite, N'Sync. 

- TECH - 

• Game Boy - That big fat rectangular block that brought joy to oh so many.
• Super Nintendo - Never owned one, but that was part in reason due to it's popularity and how the 90s generation became so consumed by console gaming, by parents would not let me have one. Sad face. Deprived child indeed.
• Cassette Walkman - Yeah, I said cassette. What!?
• Street Fighter 2 - So many wasted 50p's used on the arcade machine over this one. SF2 still remains the best combat game to date in my opinion. 
• 
  

- TV - 

• Blue Peter - Just because it's Blue Peter.
• TMNT - The show that made you want pizza, and to be a ninja. Turtles kicking ass? Yes please. The movies don't even begin to compare to the cartoon show.
• Ducktales - AWOOOOHOOOO! From the very old PC game, to the TV show, this had classic written all over it, despite their very sharp and annoying voices.
• Renford Rejects - I grew up worshiping football. I loved this show with all my heart. Bruno D'Gradi - what a lad. 
• Fun House - One of the most fun game shows to watch after a hard days work at school in England. How I always wanted to ride those go-karts. 
• Power Rangers - Surprisingly was never a big fan of this show, but it grew to have a cult following, many of whom demand a film.
• Art Attack - Those views from above still make me gasp.
• Saved By The Bell - The holy grail of TV shows as a kid in the 90s. Mr. Belding was such a tosspot.
• The Big Breakfast - "Egg On Your Face" had to be one of my most favourite segments.
• Friends - Not the keenest fan growing up of it, but let's face it, it was the biggest show going on the telly. $1million per episode for the cast eventually? I would've given that to the Saved By The Bell cast.
• The Animals of Farthing Wood - I used to be hooked to this program and eventually the print format too. If I ever have a kid, they WILL be forced to watch this. No arguement.
• Thundercats - HOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was more of a Panthero fan, was hoping one day he would overthrow Lionel, despite their friendship. What a shame.
• Transformers - Autobots for life.

-  MUSIC -

• Spice Girls - Utterly annoying, but unforgivable to mention their impact in the 90's, in particular being a household British pop group, of which not many success stories, other than dating back to the 1970's, had there been of Brit bands becoming this successful in America. 
• Backstreet Boys - My award for 'Thee band of the 90s'. Corny music, god awful coordinated dance moves, yet "As Long As You Love Me", was, and still is easily one of the best songs EVER. End of discussion.
• Take That - The most annoying British boy band, led by mop-face himself, Gary Barlow, with the golden nugget that came and left at his own leisure, Robbie Williams. 
• Boyzone - The only British boy band worth giving a shout. Stuff Take That.
• S Club 7 - Just dismiss that abysmal show on the telly, where S Club take Miami by storm, focus on the music itself, after all... There ain't no party like an S Club party, right?
• N'Sync - Ugh.
• Britney Spears - Even bigger ugh!
• Blur - Song no. 2. Probably the claim to fame for Blur, but "Charmless Man", and "Parklife", were easily so much better on the ears.
• Oasis - Still to this day I remember when, "What's the Story Morning Glory" came out, and "Don't Look Back in Anger" was serenaded around the entire playground. Oasis were nothing short of amazing, well, when the Gallagher brothers weren't fighting, but even then, it was a laugh. 

- FADS -

• POGS & GOGOs - Pogs. The game which led to many a playground fight, over debates over legal and illegal moves. The madness aside, loved Pogs.
• TAZOS - Can't tell you how many packs of Walkers crisps I consumed just to get as many Tazo's as I could. The day I got Roadrunner I almost cried in joy. Sad? Probably so.
• POKEMON - Pika. Pika.

All this said, and there's even so much more the 90s was made up of. I know I've missed things. Maybe a revisit down the line.
