Almost any track from Post could have gone here, but if there's anything more '90s than Björk on the Pops in a Ren & Stimpy t-shirt, I want it caught and bottled.

Because creating a remix so far off-piste the original artist disowns it, then adding a letter to the title and releasing it anyway is about as rock n roll as ambient techno gets.

I told my kiddo that collecting books is not my hobby, because I read them all, then I kinda got a delivery of books (second hand), and my TBR pile now feels out of control!

Guilty pleasure time! This ode to the time Ms Boo lost a loved one in a Swedish department store was probably my last dabble in the world of pure 90s pop.
Also there's an accompanying scifi B movie.

As a deadly virus sweeps across the world, the few survivors begin to realise they are all neurodivergent. If these remaining Mis-Shapes make it through the Neurotypocalypse, can they build a new world, where they fit in, to benefit everyone?
After a new pandemic kills off most of the population, a group of geeks and weirdos band together, first to survive the apocalypse, and then to rebuild a better world.

The Constant Rabbit Biscuits were an industrial eco-punk band formed in post-COVID Milton Keynes.
After a change in management the band restyled themselves Constant Rabbit Bizkit and wrote the soundtrack to the 2027 movie Neurotypocalypse.

Sure they made some of the anthems of Britpop, but for me Blur peaked with Tender and this song, written and sung by Graham Coxon.
Also there's a cute milk carton having a bad day.

OK, technically the single was first released in the dying weeks of '89, so I'm including the (probably identical) LP version in my list. Only a psychopath doesn't consider it a 90s banger anyway.

Maybe not a traditional heartbreak, but The Sparrow by @mdoriarussell.bsky.social broke me. Probably the most depressing novel I've ever read - and any novel that can evoke the level of emotion that did has to be worth a read.

If I'd had the hair for it I'd have gone full grebo in the early 90s. But I didn't, and I would have looked ridiclous. Still a fan of the Stourbridge sound though, then and now.

I'm Steve from the wild north east of England, and I'm putting myself in the 'Not sure if your work fits in the genre? Join us anyway' category. Usually a writer of sci-fi and retro GameLit, at the moment I'm imagining a more hopeful world for the neurodivergent among us.
Let's get to know each other a little!
Introduce yourself, drop a photo or video if you like
Maybe share what brings you hope 🌞 🌱
