90's Fads That Never Did And Still Don't Make Sense
The coolness quotient of some pastimes never diminishes. Surfing is, after all these years, still king of cool. I mean, most sports wouldn't survive songs like 'Surfin' USA' and 'Wipe Out' fully intact. Fads in kids toys are a good counterpoint to cool: the Yo-Yo made its inexplicable comeback near the end of the 20th Century, only to be swiftly shot with both barrels by 'Walk (the Dog) Like An Egyptian', a cover of a Bangles song. In the UK, 'YO-Hans' the Yo Yo expert ferried this song the skull-encrusted shores of number 48 in the UK charts. Didn't hear it? Well, it's effect on Yo-Yo sales was so profound that you didn't have to hear it. Probably. In brief, Surf Clothing are the robes of a king. Yo-Yos aren't.
My childhood was full of similar would be trends trying to make themselves known. BMX Bikes are completely unobjectionable. You may ride one yourself, and I'm not going to wag my finger all that much if you're in your twenties and still doing 'tricks' on it. But if you want to make a piece of sports equipment uncool, the best way to do so is to miniaturise it. I mean, what? I was bemused at 13 when a friend brought one into school, a memory I have now had to verify with a quick Googling (don't, there are Youtube videos). I know kids are stupid, but really? Why was a teenager playing with a toy that could well have come as an accessory with his sister's Ken doll?
I've actually jumped ahead a little here: finger bikes came after finger skateboards, which probably have a larger gulf between the cred of the original item and the lameness of the mini one. Still, it's always nice to have some case studies that prove that my generation's toys are just as stupid and singularly un-fun as the toys of the next generation. I will make it my mission to point out how utterly ridiculous the toy fads of the nineties were to these people. I suppose we at least had stuff that was half decent. Skate Shoes and full-sized skateboards had some kind of real-world usage (something proven by the fact that, while they're a little less popular right now, there's still plenty of people using them). Oh, Scooters are still absolutely stupid though.
