1994: The Year That Gave Zero Chill
Rod Perry
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Welcome to 1994 — the year Kurt left us, Four Weddings made us weep (and swear), and Friends taught us that life was better with coffee, sarcasm, and a central perk.
This was the year Britpop officially clocked in, with Blur and Oasis preparing to square off while Parklife became a national catchphrase. East 17 wore puffa jackets in July, Pulp Fiction reinvented cool, and The Lion King reminded us all how to cry in a cinema.
On telly, The Vicar of Dibley brought holy laughter, TFI Friday was just around the corner, and Eurotrash introduced us to a world we definitely weren’t ready for. Meanwhile, Tony Blair was polishing his smile, John Smith left us far too soon, and the Tories were losing friends faster than Richard Madeley could ask a guest if they were a bit mad.
Whether you were playing Sonic & Knuckles, rewinding your Ace of Base tape, or taping The O-Zone off the telly, 1994 was the year everything got a bit faster, a bit louder, and a whole lot weirder.
1994 — the year we all realised the ‘90s weren’t just happening... they were taking over.
