It began in the early 2010s \u2013 in keeping with a much popularised idea that nostalgia comes in 20-year cycles \u2013 but is showing no sign of abating. It\u2019s there in everything \u2013 from fashion to TV and, of course, music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"indo-ebe0ecc6_root indo-ebe0ecc6_paragraph indo-300db776_none indo-91174671_primary indo-1d70522a_marginbottom0 indo-1d70522a_margintop0 indo-b48c4984_inherit\" style=\"color:var(--color-primary-80)\">The most talked-of gigs of last year \u2013 the Oasis comeback shows at Croke Park \u2013 were almost entirely comprised of their mid-\u201990s albums.
