But I emigrated from Aotearoa NZ to London at the start of 1990 and stayed in the city for a decade, pursuing a new career (comics editing), making new friends and building a whole new life on the other side of the world. So the 90s kind of felt like a second teenage, but with added work and cash.
Another friend something similar. And the 90s were certainly formative for me too. But I think the 80s were about dreaming and then the 90s hit me with reality. I had a great time for a lot of it, but it wasn’t what I’d expected it to be.
I saw Pulp at Wembley Arena. I was pretty near the front, able to jump high. So I did. And Jarvis Cocker pointed at me and sang at me for about 20 seconds while I kept jumping.
As for Brothers & Sisters, I still have it going around my head to this day. Magic. But, yeah, that cover...
Those are some great music memories from the ‘90s, most of them involving U2. I traveled alone the summer after high school in ‘93 from Texas to the UK and Ireland to catch U2 at Wembley Stadium (and Leeds! and Cardiff!) and seeing Bjork and the Stereo MCs, and talking and walking with BP Fallon after the Wembley show and he successfully begged the security to let me in even though I didn’t have a badge. The band had left, but I ended up drinking beer and a meet and greet room and just taking the scene in!
The 80s were my teen decade, so hugely formative.

Do you know what? I’ve never even listened to it!! I will do that today.
I just listened to it twice again. I still love it! There are two versions, just to make things complicated.
