Back in the mid nineties the world was different from now. Oasis were the biggest band around, England did well at Euro 96 and maxed Ford Escorts were in. More importantly the Plasystation had just been born. It turned into a style icon for a generation.
The Playstation was a massive success. It was a contemporary of neds, baseball caps and puffer jackets.
But now everything has changed. Still there are people trying to hold on to those heady days. Sony themselves are the most desperate for these days to last forever. The reason is that Sony with their style have got the Playstation as symbol of then and it makes them so much money, the way things are.
Now the PS2 is around and it is just an update. But the PS2 has not yet made the impression that the PS did and now it seems that Playstation culture is dying, slowly. Many people I know are beginning to view Playstation culture as just too mid nineties.
Oasis are not now the biggest band, now they are living off of past laurels and successes. If their next album is not good then it could quite possibly be the end for them. I like Oasis so I am in no hurry to see them die.
Ford have axed the Escort. Now the Focus is here, and it is totally different. Boy racers are not cool. Nor are they nearly as common.
Puffer jackets are no longer as cool as they once were.
Baseball caps are still in though, one last bastion of the Playstation culture.
England are not the force they were 5 years ago, no matter what the score against Germany suggests.
But still the Playstation culture is with us. But now those 15 year old of 1995 are men of 21 with a real life to live and real bills to pay.
I think it is time for a big, radical change.
Now here in the noughties a new console war is set to be fought. Will the victor be a style icon like the Playstation? Will Oasis be number 1 again? Will boy racers in their caps and puffer jackets soon be driving maxed Focuses?
I do not think so. I think that the console of choice will be the GameCube, that the charts will be ruled by R'n'B groups like Destiny's Child and that denim, in a way not seen since the 70's, will be the clothing of choice for many. And in the face of fuel costs, Clios and Corsas will be the transport of choice.
What do you think of the Playstation generation and its culture? Do you think it is dying or do you think that it is about to enter a renaissance?

The PS is dying, wahey, what slowley? Hmm Pain!
Much as I hate to say it the PS can not be dying that slowly. I say that because after 177 weeks Rayman is still high in the charts. Console sales might be low but the game sales are still high and the legend lives on.

You should have posted this in Prime, NB. You would have got more replies.
Playstation are going no where and one day very soon will eventually fall to their doom. It is written, so it shall be done.
