Today in pulp... I look back at 1991: a simpler time of family values! #MondayMotivation 
The World Wide Web was first opened up to the public in 1991 and we all became 'internauts'... though thankfully that name never caught on!
However 1991 also saw us worrying about 'computer viruses.' Could our Amiga ST be hacked by 'cyber punks'? Better not copy that floppy folks!
Business laptops were certainly taking off in 1991: monochrome, heavy and with either a trackerball or a funny red nipple to move the screen pointer. Which did you prefer?
In 1991 you could be Ravey Davey and listen to Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine, or be an Indie Cindy and stick with Morrissey...
(Other bands were available...)
But one thing you couldn't miss in 1991 was WWF. These dudes were everywhere!
Death Cigarettes launched in 1991. Oh how those ironic media studies students loved a pack of Death Lights at college...
At the cinema in 1991? Plenty of sequels but also some good horror.
The Game Boy was still big in 1991, though the peripherals were a bit of a handful!
Sega tried to get into portable gaming in 1991 with the colour screen Game Gear. Alas it went the way of the Atari Lynx...
Doctor Who was over, but still hanging on in there in 1991...
...while Star Treck TNG was still chugging along!
OK so 1991 wasn't an epic year. But we still had fun, right? I think we did.
More ancient social history another time...
