Cool Britannia & Beyond: Britain in the 1990s
The 1990s gave us Britpop, Girl Power, and Cool Britannia, but they also gave us the world we live in today. This was the decade when mobiles and email changed how we connect, when Euro ’96 and Diana’s funeral showed the power of collective emotion, when food scares shook our trust, and when the Stephen Lawrence case forced Britain to face uncomfortable truths.
 
From Spice Girls to Sky News, New Labour to Nokia, the 1990s set the template for modern Britain: fast, connected, diverse, and often divided. The debates that began then, about culture, technology, identity, and power, are the ones we’re still having today.
