BBC edits Skylab out of history. I think it's the first time I heard the last decade referred to as "the roaring 90s", too, but perhaps I've just been under a rock.
The 1920s and 1990s did have a number of things in common, so it doen't come as too much of a surprise that the same adjective has been applied to both...
A massive boom, fuelled among things by blatantly overoptimistic speculation, followed by a massive crash, during which some extremely dubious business practices came to light.
