Random things that were big in the '90s.

[StanleyTheCrane]

I'm trying to make up a quiz for a friend's birthday based on things that were popular in the '90s, plus I was just having fun reminiscing with another friend. So I wondered, what random and lesser known things do you remember being popular back then?

Riverdance is one I remember. That was so huge back then and I was obsessed with it and Michael Flatley. I remember watching Eurovision live when they had Michael Flatley and Jean Butler perform and being blown away by it.

Euro 96 😭
France 98 and becks hero to zero moment

OP So I wondered, what random and lesser known things do you remember being popular back then?

Question: what was the slang name for these neon rubber bracelets?
