Films like Trainspotting and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels spearheaded a vibrant new wave in British cinema. This coincided with a dramatic shift in music, as tired trends were swept away by rave and, particularly, Britpop. The 90s were defined by a diverse range of cultural icons – from musicians like Chris Evans to artists Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin, sports figures like Paul Gascoigne, and a new generation of young women. Popular TV shows such as SM:TV, Ab Fab, and TFI Friday, alongside the groundbreaking magazine Loaded, captured the spirit of the time. It truly was a remarkable decade – a time before social media and constant recording, where people simply enjoyed living in the moment, an era unlikely to be repeated.
