    Undercuts
    The Lighthouse Family

    Thought of another. Bryan Adams and that fcuking song "Everything I Do."

    On the same note Wet, Wet, Wet and "Love is all around."

    Most of it, bar the music - both chart and alt - in the early part of the decade. Not trying to be elitist - I love pop music, but it was sh1t in the 90s IMO. The 80s was the decade for fantastic chart music.

    Those horrible jackets that looked like they were made from garish blankets
    Exams
    Dial-up internet
    Fuzzy TV picture when watching British terrestrial television stations.
    The Spice Girls
    Not very good Indie bands like The Wedding Present
    Telephone boxes - though perhaps if today's allergy prone kids were to spend more time in these germ-ridden edifices they might have better immune systems
    Having to go to London on one of those god-awful ferry/coach packages due to exorbitant prices of flights.

    Britpop music and Britpop related paraphernalia, such as faux-vintage zip-up tracksuit tops.

    Lack of good music festivals in Ireland.
