Tate Britain’s 'The 90s' Exhibition Revives Britain’s Chaotic Cultural Era

Tate Britain has opened 'The 90s: Art and Fashion,' an exhibition curated by Edward Enninful that explores the chaotic, cross-disciplinary energy of 1990s British culture. The show highlights how music, fashion, and art blurred boundaries, featuring works by Alexander McQueen, Steve McQueen, and Naomi Campbell. While the BBC frames the decade as a vibrant, hedonistic era of DIY innovation, The Independent argues that such a cultural explosion is impossible today due to modern surveillance and algorithmic constraints. Victoria Miro confirms the inclusion of works by Chris Ofili and Barbara Walker, underscoring the exhibition's broad scope in redefining who participated in British culture.

A 1990s college football rewatch reveals how the game evolved and what stayed the same

Across a decade of games, the author contrasts today’s analytics-driven coaching with older decision-making (e.g., the famous Fifth Down) and shows how the balance between conference titles and national championships has shifted. Tech and broadcasting have brought sharper graphics and tighter reviews, but some elements endure—like unpredictable kickers, enduring team identities in uniforms, and the social drama surrounding star QBs.

Two Champs, One Era: The Unsettled Glory of 1990s College Football

Two Champs, One Era: The Unsettled Glory of 1990s College Football

The piece looks back at the 1990s when college football often crowned two national champions due to split polls (e.g., 1991 Miami vs. Washington; 1994 Penn State vs. Nebraska), highlighting how fans and players accepted multiple champions. It explains the move to the Bowl Championship Series in 1998 and, later, the College Football Playoff in 2014 in an attempt to crown a single champion, while noting that controversy persists into the modern era. The author suggests that the era’s dual championships had its own logic and appeal, rather than simply being “bad.”

Was the 1990s college football peak or just a TV-era sweet spot?

The piece argues there is no universal best era for college football, but the 1990s stand out as a television-driven golden age: broader national broadcasts after the CFA–ESPN era, the launch of ESPN2, the Bowl Championship Series, and landmark rivalries helped fans experience the sport in a new, shared national moment—yet objective metrics show domination by a few programs, making the nostalgia and media evolution as much a part of the era’s appeal as on-field greatness.
