But if the Cool Britannia nepo kids aren't keeping the Nineties hedonistic vibe going, it seems Gen Z-ers are keeping the momentum going through fashion.

'There are clearly many iconic hairstyles and memorable moments from this decade that live on in the public consciousness. 'It seems clear that Nineties trends aren't going anywhere anytime soon — and why would we want them to?' 'It's clear that the whole culture of the Nineties is still considered unapologetically iconic.' Advertisement Gen Z can't match our hellraising era IT was a sensational whirl of bucket hats, Union Jacks, lads' mags, boozy bands and more than a whiff of the old marching powder, writes Rod McPhee. The late Nineties were a hellraising golden age not seen since the Swinging Sixties. But despite being due another period of partying, I'm sorry to say we'll never quite be able to match the magic of the original Cool Britannia. Trust me, I was there, I did it. I got the T-shirt – and the dodgy Liam Gallagher shaggy haircut What's more, I loved it all. From music to fashion, and movies to models, the run-up to the year 2000 was the perfect blend of sex and, yes, drugs, plus lashings of rock 'n' roll. Of course, it's great to get a taste of the good old days when Oasis stage their comeback tour next week, plus there's the prospect of the Spice Girls doing a similar celebratory event next year. But nothing can once again live up to a period in modern pop culture history which I believe was genuinely unique. Maybe I'm looking back at the past through rose-tinted glasses. But no pop groups, artists, catwalk stars or actors these days come close to the tearaway Primrose Hill crowd that kept us entertained and shocked three decades ago. That said, no one would love reliving some of the brilliance of the Nineties more than me. So let's make the most of summer 2025.
