I could never get my mom to buy me baggy clothes and so I looked like a total dork, this is in spite of me being half a foot shorter and twenty pounds lighter than all of my classmates.

I dunno, lots of "cool" things like house music and indie and IT and hip hop went from "quite big" to "the actual mainstream now".
That's the impression I got, anyway.

I remember thinking back in the 90s that the clothes were a big improvement over the 80s. They seemed so basic and straightforward, timeless even. I thought that they would never look ugly or out-of-style.
Oh, how wrong I was...

Still haven't seen much difference here from the oughts. Dawson's = OC,etc. X-Files = Lost (or whatever.) Funny clothes = Funny clothes. Hyped NYC rappers = Hyped Southern Rappers. Bush = Nickleback. Kids = Havoc. '00s is just the '90s continued.

This educational music video from 1991 by the Finnish Alcohol Company provides a wonderful example of early 90s cool.
The video warns teens not to have sex while drunk, btw, as they might forget to use a condom. The chorus: "sex is fun while you're sober / when you're drunk you do it the wrong way". If I'd personally followed this maxim, I'd probably had about 60% less sex in my life.

Product Description'Big Breakfast' luminary Johnny Vaughan presents this compilation of brawls, tiffs and fisticuffs from the world of television and sport. From punch-ups on the football pitch to half-hearted disagreements (which Johnny wittilly terms 'a case of the handbags'), there is plenty here to amuse and entertain.
