Y2K.

JNCO's
I still laugh thinking back to 8th grade when my buddy, Tyler, got his first pair of JNCOs. To paint a picture, Tyler couldn't have been more than 90 pounds soaking wet and had a bowl cut (being it the 90s). He had a big goofy grin on his face and goes "check it out - I can fit a while 2 liter of Mountain Dew in my pocket!" And sure enough, he pulled a full 2 liter of Mountain Dew out of his front pocket.

Clear craze.
As in technology. Translucent gadgets were all the rage. Not quite one word, I was going to go with translucent, but found it actually had a name.
