I think a fair amount of the Britpop stuff still holds up. Some amount of shyte as well right enough.

Absolute 90s is a nostalga trip. 80s indie music was infinitely better tho, no contest.
I just love the way that music and fashion changed precisely on the date that a decade completed and a new een started.
I would also remind everybody, technically, the decade only completes on the final day of the year ending in '0'.
One of my nephews was born on Eoin Jess's birthday in 2000, and he argues that he's nae a 1990s kid. He's getting a bit too big at 18 to gie a clappit lug tae though.
I take 57s point. It is a kind of a new thing splitting music into decades when the band's were usually about for a few years before getting record deals.
It does depend when you were born. However I would challenge the 90s boys to come up with better than Joy Division ,Talking Heads, The Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Smiths, The wedding present ,The Fall,The Cocteau Twins.
Bit of a stretch saying Joy Division were an 80s band. No Cure on that list either? Shloppy
Edit - The Birthday Party & Nick Cave have always been shyte, Talking Heads is one of those bands that everybody says they like but they don't really & The Wedding Presents best stuff was all released in the 90s
