Teenager in the 90's

Shannen Doherty. My friend and I would phone each other when 90210 finished and practice talking like Brenda to each other.

We even started buying Max Factor make up when she started going out with the MF guy

God, this shows what a sad git I was, but one of my main 90s memories is of watching Changing Rooms and being desperate to have my own place so I too could have orange walls and lime green crockery

I still have my buffalo platform trainers all 3 pairs

Also still got my 90s clubbing gear, mainly catsuits with zips, velvet hotpants and mini dresses, all worn with thick black tights and black trainers!

Happy hardcore! Smiley faces, white gloves and whistles.

Dresses with t shirts under, combats, spiral perms, velvet chokers.

Pirate radio, house parties, big shout going out!

Kiss fm being new and edgy!

My Chipie trainers! They were silver and I begged my mum for them!

Best worn with a white short wraparound skirt and miss selfridge navy blue burnout heart tshirt!

Kangol hat worn back to front.

Trouble tv on telewest cable.

Xs by Paco rabanne with a free handbag I'd take clubbing!

Those solid circle metal necklaces.

Big plastic knuckle duster rings

Blue and turquoise sketchers sandals from Shelley's

The Big Breakfast... on the bed with Paula Yates...Chris Evans...Don't Forget your Toothbrush...

Elastica, Pulp, Suede, Garbage...

Oh I loved Space. I still have all my 90's Britpop albums.

Blur, Oasis, Space, Bluetones, Sleeper, Echobelly, Wannadies, Dodgy, Cast, Ocean Colour Scene etc etc

Trolls
Alien motifs
Mel & Sue's Light Lunch
Referring to snogging as "getting off"
(At the very end of the nineties) Richard Madley's millenium cupboard

Early 90s - Global Hypercolour T shirts

LOVE this thread! Also...
Zig & Zag
Those plastic flowers in a pot that danced to music
Henna patterns on your hands
Yin & Yang jewellery
Smileys being a drugs thing
Press Gang
Those things like a baby's vest that girls used to wear (we called them 'bodies') with a checked shirt over the top
Garbage
Space ("at 666 there lived a Mr Miller, he's the local vicar and a serial killer")

What about all the sweets from the 90s?? Starburst were Opal Fruits. Everyone bought them white candy sticks and pretended they were cigarettes to. Lucky Charms weren't ££££ a box and were just sold as a normal cereal here to.

Going off topic I served a young looking girl today at work who wanted a lottery ticket, I asked for ID, she was born in 1997 :O I kept second guessing myself that she wasn't old enough but she was! I felt really old today.

They used to sell Spliffy Jeans and Joe Bloggs stuff in the Arndale Market in Manchester when I first moved there.

I had all the Point Horror books, and loved Christopher Pike as well.

Remember watching This Life, massive crush on Andrew Lincoln in that.

Night clubs had truly puntastic names in the 90s as well - Dicky Bo's was our haunt.

Cookie B - I miss vanilla impulse too! There was vanilla dreams, secrets and kisses. Kisses was the pink one. They still sell it in Germany so I bought some from eBay. Takes me straight back to 1995.
I've still got all my babysitters club and point horror books!

I remember writing about the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party in my news jotter at school, muminthecity!

Oh and of course, the biggest event of the year, the one we looked forward to for months, and the only day of the year that we were allowed to eat our tea on our laps in front of the TV...

The Smash Hits Poll Winners' Party!

I love this thread! It's making me feel all nostalgic. A few of my own to add:

Versace blue jeans perfume
Morgan bags
Nickelodeon programmes such as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Moesha and Sister Sister
Reebok Classics

Did anyone watch the new series of the Big Reunion in ITV2 tonight? Lots of 90s nostalgia there: 3T, Adam Rickett, Eternal, Damage. I loved them all!

I loved Savage Garden.

Has no one said DM boots?! There was a shop near my school where we all went to get them (C M Williams it was called), they sold seconds, do I had this matt black pair with a dent in the front...

Sonic the Hedgehog
Super Mario World
New Labour
Cassettes & CDs
Black and White Telly license at university (wouldn't be able to fool 'em now with that)
More magazine (is that still around?)
Floppy discs

Those thin plastic woven necklaces/bracelets that were kind of supposed to look like tattoos from a distance.

I had a few of those.

And velvet chokers.

And big ole sheepskin coats.

This thread is making me feel all warm inside,i forgot about most of this stuff and its brought back memories of friends from my youth.Ahhh wish I could go back.

I love this thread too! It's made me all nostalgic for my high school years. If there are any fellow Aussies about, you'll know what I'm talking about when I say Silverchair, Savage Garden and Full Frontal.

Also, that mixed smell of Impulse and cigarette smoke in the school loos. (Bleurgh!)

And what about 'sunglasses' with coloured lenses.and babydoll dresses with big, clunky shoes and chokers. And having 60s themed fancy dress parties and thinking that was really cool.

Definitely yes to taping songs off the radio. I feel like this generation have missed out on that wonderful excitement of hearing a song you haven't heard for ages and managing to press record in time, or tracking down a random album at the second hand record shop. Everything is at your fingertips now, which is great, but kind of makes life a little bit more boring in a way.

I can't think of anything to add but just wanted to say I'm loving this thread, remember so much of it! I can almost smell the Impulse O2 now.....

I've still got a bottle of Tribe, which I give a sniff when I feel nostalgic! It's not particularly pleasant! Does anyone remember when Tribe was launched? It came with a free pair of pink and blue hypercolour sunglasses; I think that was what sold it to me.
