I heard racist jokes on television and marched against the Newbury Bypass and watched the Gulf War on the news and sucked on Push Pops. So when I hear people extol the virtues of a ’90s childhood, I do wonder precisely which bits they’re thinking of. But it was also, as I remember, quite dangerous, bigoted, unhealthy and boring too. I remember people laughing at the word “poof” and calling celebrities “shirtlifters” and the first time two women kissed on television. I remember stranger danger and public health campaigns about playing on building sites and people smoking on airplanes.
