Take off your kiwi-strawberry-tinted glasses and tell the truth: the nineties were great, but it was complicated. Don’t remember? That’s where this companion book to Lexual Does The 90s comes in!

In thirteen insightful essays, Lexual tackles topics like food, style, and true crime, while weaving in personal memories and discussions of pop culture phenomena like The Spice Girls, Moesha, Boy Meets World,
The X-Files, and King of The Hill.

How did global politics, the economy, race, and misogyny impact pop culture, food, style, and holidays? How did region and location affect individual priorities and perspectives? How were American fears represented in media? And, most importantly-- how do our memories of the best parts of the nineties obscure the worst parts of the nineties?
