Remember the 90's ?

Ricardo G · 08-08-2010 10:13PM #1

Just chatting to a buddy of mine earlier and we ended up chatting about the Xworx and petro motion range of clothing !! Will they ever come back into fashion ? Some of you may not remember these but they were the bees knees back in the 90's. Also there was the dubarry sailing shoes, combat jeans/trousers and for some the dungerees

Eclipse was another one.

I remember going down to "Warehouse" on Careys Lane every Christmas to get new stuff. Man that stuff was so expensive, even 20 years ago.

Hi tech runners with the blue/yellow striped tongues

I demanded that I be brought to Hairy Legs in Galway for a pair of x-worx
Also used to wear a baggy fleece with them. And I was a skinny kid, must have looked like I was swimming in them

Eh just walk around Blackrock and Donnybrook and look at every teenage girl you can see. I think you'll find they never really went out of fashion (just for the wrong reasons!).

I always think of the 90's as being 'just a couple' of years ago and then I realise that it's over 10 years now since '99 :eek:

...and letting the poor woman freeze? I don't think so. 'Uni-queue' tat was bad back then, even with the rose-tint now, it's still naff. :pac:

Ah yes the 90s.... On the dole, listening to Oasis and going out every night. Ah yes I quite enjoyed the 90s

OutlawPete · 08-08-2010 10:34PM

Remember the 90's??

Sure that was only yesterday.

A memory must have a person wearing either leg warmers, flares or shoulder pads for it to be considered nostalgic

and not forgetting the famous hairstyles

Ulysses Gaze · 08-08-2010 10:58PM

From 1990-1994 was pretty good musically - Grunge, Alternative - MTV even played good videos (120 minutes, Headbangers Ball)

It all started to go downhill in about 1995 though and by 1997 we had the Spice Girls starting to dominate the charts.........

In retrospect there were some really cool scenes, you had the grunge scene and the dance scene which was still going good even when we had he likes of the spice girls and that crap.

Are there any cool scenes now?? I can't see anyone ever looking back fondly on Emo, and I don't think any of that music is relatively big

Had forgotten about Hairy Legs. Where I got my first pair of x-worx jeans...and a nice Adihash t-shirt!

Outside it's raining but inside it's wet.

I still listen to these tunes at least a couple of times a week

There are no cool new scenes , all the cool scenes have been done.
Rave anyone ?
