Decades often peak midway, and 1995 marked the height of Britpop (Oasis vs. Blur), the Young British Artists movement (Tracey Emin's tent), and the New Lad culture, exemplified by Nick Hornby's *High Fidelity* and James Brown's *Loaded*. It was also the year of *The Bends*, the filming of *Trainspotting*, Richey Edwards' disappearance, Alex Garland's *The Beach*, and Blair's controversial Clause IV vote at the Labour Conference. This era represented perhaps the last moment when rock stars, music journalists, and fans believed in rock's mystical power amidst significant cultural upheaval in art, literature, publishing, and drug use. The mid-Nineties were characterized by hedonism, as many aspired to a rock and roll lifestyle, believing they could become rock stars through mere consumption of music and magazines. This exploration of the decade spans from loungecore to the emergence of New Labour, featuring interviews with key figures and a deep dive into pivotal albums of the time, including *The Bends* by Radiohead, *Grand Prix* by Teenage Fanclub, *Maxinquaye* by Tricky, *Different Class* by Pulp, *The Great Escape* by Blur, and the iconic *What's the Story) Morning Glory?* by Oasis, among others.
